Thanks, but had seen those pages for the 16 and 18F chips, I'm after the real world maximum current I can safely use ?
I generally derate my power devices by 50% to keep on the safe side, don't know if this is a good thing to use on the Pics as I have never used them at higher loadings ?
Note that there is a limit of 100mA per port. So, use all 8 pins and you get (are limited to) 12mA per pin. If you are multiplexing then you will have fairly dim LEDs.
