How are they connected? Groups of 4 in series with a limiting resistor? How 
much current are you planning to put thru each one? 10mA, 20 mA? I guess you're 
right; that still doesn't add up to much total current.

Did you know that LEDs actually get dimmer with use? I certainly didn't until a 
couple of years ago. An LED that is left on full time will be putting out about 
half as much light a year from now. Of course it would take a really long time 
to put on 8700 hours of driving time.  ;-)
