Actually, the blinking saves energy compared to always on.

I put up an article on the front page about that WM team blog entry, and pulled out some of the LED information, and did some additional estimates for a PPC smartphone.

If you use that information, plus the battery specs and standard iLiad battery life, you should be able to extrapolate approximately how much effect the LED has on battery life.
