Star Trek,
I can't see how you equate static electricity with the constant current required to drive an LED.
Sure any LED (Light Emitting Diode) requires at least 20mA of constant current to make it light.
Of course that would depend upon the colour and the size of the LED..
Static electricity has no current.
It does however have a rather high voltage.
An LED uses between 1.2 and 2V, again depending upon size.
It is after all a diode.
Most LED's run on a DC supply require a dropping resistor in series to limit the current through the LED.
Have I got this all wrong?.
