That probably explains the flickering LED: when the invisible electrons 
pass through the light doesn't show!

Y'mean I don't have to go into the basement, pull the box with the USB 
ends, then pull the box with the resistors sorted in coin envelopes, and
then the storage drawer wth the LEDs in it?  <g>  ..Oo! I have some 
infrared LEDs: those are invisible!!
