Can anyone help?
I've been set the task of modding 150-or-so pairs of Beyer headphones with passive LED-based driver protection circuits.
I've scoured Google but can't find anything that would fit the bill.
My supervisor assures me it's possible using only an LED and a resistor.
Anyone done this or anything similar?
Thanks in advance, any help gratefully received.
Sarcasm or witty comments also welcome.
Phil.
P.S. Some engineer jokes I found on another message board:
--------------------
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

A priest, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a
particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with
those guys? We've been waiting 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I
don't know, but I've never seen such inept golfers!" The priest said,
"Here comes the greens keeper, let's ask him." He said, "Hello, George!
What's wrong with the group ahead of us? They're rather slow aren't
they?" The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind
fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire
last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group fell
silent for a moment. The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will
say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good idea.
I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's
anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't they play
at night?"

An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him
and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He
bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke
up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful
princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the
frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to his pocket. The
frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess,
I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want." Again the
engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his
pocket. Finally, exasperated the frog asked, "What is the matter with
you? I've told you that I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay
with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
