It doesn't seem to be too bright, though. (And the package calls this a "high" brightness LED.) A quick voltage check indicated the LED was only getting 1.5 volts; it should be getting 3 volts. Guess I messed up on my calculations. Tomorrow, I will remeasure the voltage and if necessary, I will reduce the voltage dropping resistor to 300 or 270 ohms before buttoning this one up.
