20ma will light an led. Doubt you'd get anywhere near that level of current from a 'static' discharge in the 'normal' environment, but there will be a current, if vanishingly small. I don't think the 'volts' is an issue here.

You could build a little device with a transistor and a battery to light up an led using 'static' as the switching voltage.
