[Avodah] LED "tealights" for Shabbos candles

[T613K at aol.com]

But is there agreement that if the light IS as bright as a candle, you  can 
use them for Shabbos?  And make a bracha on them lehadlik ner shel  Shabbos?

You don't need to extapolate from your  experience with other LEDs about 
how well
they radiate that light. The  whole idea behind their design is that the
light they give is comparable in  brightness and color to that of a candle.
CM responds:
That was the point of my last post. I accepted that the LEDs R’nTK asked  
about were bright. I was asking what about my case with the dim LEDs that are 
 just visible as “on” / “off” indicators. That was the diff between your  
response and RLK. He seemed to think that even the tiny bit of illumination 
 they provide is adequate for ner Shabbos – I was asking for some authority 
on  this issue in the poskim. My own gut feeling was that they were not 
adequate  so I was asking if there was discussion of this matter in the poskim 
as to the  difference of opinion between RLK and myself.
