Talking Re: Getting so much resistance from behind . . .

Youll note that the resistors were powered up for several hours without any issue [ editors note, I forgot them and came back the next day - this is why I used higher end components - read American] , melting, discoloring, smoking or what not. 100 ohms drew enough current to keep indicator off. Do what you like, I did testing to satisfy my own level of concern (s).

Enjoy, Woody
