[TenTec] Titan III screen current question.....

[pfizenmayer]

FWIW - I just put LEDs in a T2X controller internally lit meter - with 
diffused LEDS - don't like it very well.Played a lot with current and 
sanding them more etc.

I see that All Electronics . www.allelectronics.com
has a LP-23 catalog number 14 volt 40 ma  3 for $1  T1 3mm with wire leads 
.(a bunch of other variations as well like 28v at 40 ma etc etc .)
