MOTM

How much current can the  Lumex LED's used in MOTM (eg. SSI-LXH387ID)
handle safely??  It looks like they list a maximum If (which I'm
assuming means current(forward)) of 30mA.  That sounds about 2-3
times more than I would have guessed.  Another way of asking the same
question, how much current to the single-color LED's used in MOTM
generally draw??  They are sufficiently visible, and increasing LED
brightness unnecesarily would increase the load on the power supply.
