That bookcase looks sweet, astfgl!

Thanks for the details, by the way, I'd been wondering just what brightness I ought to look at since mCd numbers don't inherently mean much to me, and I haven't had time to play around with them yet. Amps and volts and ohms (oh, my!), I grok -- candellas ... not so much.

How did you get your current draw so low? I've been staring at 10~30 mA ratings on every LED (individual) I look at! 15 mA for four is surprising to me. Have you current limited them down to a level that you found to be "enough" light? Or do you have something less obvious going on?
