common sense does apply and if someone is not familiar with electrical characteristics such as current/amperage, then they should not be mucking with such
In my experience this is the trouble. Today, when youngsters "hack" their routers (install new firmware), jailbreak their iPhones etc. the common sense of "dont tinker what you don't fully understand" doesn't apply any more. Of course I'm not talking about the original poster or Barry, just a general thought. :)

It must be a while Barry since you took a IR bud apart, :) there are very few these days with resisters in, there are all constant current drivers so no resistore required.
True, I can't see a resistor in the pronto IR, so I believe the RFX has some current limiting. If I'm not mistaken even the user's guide tells how many IR diodes you can wire in series, thus implying the feed current is limited.
