Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Components/LED/YSL-R531FR2C-F1.pdf Not sure if the exact same, forward currents are a little off but maybe Sparkfun was just precautious?
Why does the info sheet specify a resistor value without specifying a supply voltage? The former is meaningless without the latter. (That resistor value seems to be for 9 V, BTW.)
If I powered all of these at once, would it make a good night-vision floodlight? A video showing the concept would be AMAZING!
Will these ever be available in packs of 100?
Does anyone know the Beam angle, intensity. Its a little bright for my CMOS camera application
