	Wow, this is exactly what what I need. Thanks!
I am thinking about modifying it to use one big pad for cathode and one
for anode (instead of two smaller on each side). According to the
datasheet, the pad near cathode is unconnected, so it can safely be
joined to the cathode pad, and for the anode, both pads are interconnected
inside the LED. What do you think about it?

	Thanks!
