Sorry for the confusion  ;^/ I tried to save a paragraph, and used the word
'light'in a figurative sense, not a visual one. In the original  instance, the
>visible<
LED was going, but I ascertained the IR_LED  was  *not* working  by using an
IR_Detector cell.  So after replacing the  IR_ LED & a resistor and rechecking
it was OK,  I was left with my comment   _certainly, both LEDs light now_ but I
didn't point out that I was talking both visible & invisible (which I wasn't
actually)
...more  a case of   light = running  :)
