Two questions concerning bleed resistors

[mustang guy]

RC = 40000 * 440E-6 = 17.6 seconds.

Oops. I divided... 17.6 is much better for sure.

Tomchr and MerlinB: As for the high-efficiency LED, is there a specific part number you would recommend?

You can see what I use in my 300B power supply on My Website.

I tend to run the bleeders at pretty low currents and want the LED to remain on for as long as possible. Hence, I use a high-efficiency LED (HLMP-D150).
