from a different thread:

time, especially if you tinker around with MfL. 240 for the endless encoders, 80 for the 5x8 Matrix, etc.
They are quite bright, so even if they are low power versions and take only, let's say, 4 mA (in case of a 1:1 busy cycle), that's already 3 times the capacity of an USB link, for the LEDs alone. Wow!
