Hey @barry_b_benson, since you have quite a few LEDs, have you considered pulsing the on state, with say a thirty percent duty cycle, e.g. ON state == on for ~3ms, off for ~10ms, on for ~3ms, off for ~10ms, on for ~3ms, off for ~10ms, etc over the desired duration or something like that. Eye persistence would/may allow for the indication the LEDs are always on and would only draw 1/3 the power.
