An interesting way to use LEDs

An interesting way to use LEDs, I have this small Huawei GPRS / HSDPA modem, it plugs in the USB of the laptop... The LEDs are now so bright that they no longer need holes, they just shine through the plastic case :-) ftp://panteltje.com/pub/canon_a470/huawei_green_LED.jpg It has a blue LED for a HSDPA connection. Back to 10mA for LEDs ?

I like that technique. It looks good. I'll have to remember it for future projects.

Do you mean reduce current to 10 mA?

Surely that depends on the LED. LEDs with technology from about 1980 are still in production. But there are other LEDs that get reasonably bright (and maybe then some) at .5 mA - is in half a milliamp!

Or do you mean increase current to 10 mA now that there is an application with large light loss?
