By "in parallel" I just mean that you put two LEDs instead of just one, with both cathodes connected together, as well as both anodes.

Sorry for the ignorance.
I'm trying to figure out how these parts work>
274-374 (Phono Plug)
and
274-251(jack)
I ordered these two parts from RadioShack and they don't appear to be correct. Maybe the part numbers have changed? The plug doesn't come apart and I see no way to use the Jack with this part.

Seems like I need this part instead
274-286

Yes, 274-286 is what you need to plug into an Ocelot's IR output jack.

how would i modify this circuit for, for example, being driven by an Arduino? these devices supply perhaps 40mA max current and do not contain the current-limiting resistor apparently present in the Ocelot.

I would need to know what kind of output circuit that device has. Are the output connections labeled in any way that might give a hint, such as cathode, anode? Or + , - ?

Guy, as always, you are a gem.

I put a small circuit together as such (under "IR-Driver transistors") and it works. Thanks for "turning me on" to the idea, and for being responsive and helpful once again.
