LOL SWAG engineering?
A LiPo 'transistor battery' has about 1000 mAh capacity. There are 720 hours in a month. ~1.4 mA load could draw for a month without regarding discharge characteristics. Standard miniature LEDs draw 20 mA (ranging from approximately 40 mW to 90 mW). I'll bet the illustrated LED's are high power CREE's drawing hundreds of mA.

You bet wrong, what do I win? Cree LEDs for subtle marking lights... Really? Don't assume everyone is ignorant or stupid, you may be the one who is... FYI, they draw 5-6mA per LED based on vehicle voltage at any given time. They've been limited so they are not bright enough to cause attention from the local police and are meant as a subtle addition. There are 6 total LEDs for a draw of maybe 40mA, worst case... In your great wisdom, do you think I need to up the size of my alternator to handle that extra current load?  Also thanks for taking the numbers literally, it was meant as an example for the low current draw, and in fact they are switched so they are only on when the other lighting systems are in use. Again, hope my X5 can handle the extra 40mA current load given all of the other "low wattage lighting" like HIDs and fog lamps... I'm a EE, been doing this stuff since the early 80s, think I can calculate the current through a resistor and an LED  but good assumptions that your the only "smart" one on the planet.General rule for these forums, since you haven't been around here long: Useful information is great on these forums, being an A-Hole isn't needed. Lots of great folks here who contribute good info, like DIYs and advice, and help solve others problems. FYI, I only posted this info on these LEDs, hi-jacking my own thread, as it was requested by another member. You have now proven to everyone who reads this that you are a genius and I am an idiot, you may resume your life. Thanks.
