Apparently I goofed up again. The footprint was a 0603 one, but even for that size it was rather small. The next revision comes with 0805 with wide pads for hand-soldering. So what do you do if the footprint is too small for 0805? You go looking for 0603 LEDs! And if you can't find any of those, you just use 0402 ones ;-) I had to use heavy magnification for this one. The LEDs are so light they easily stick to the tweezers if only the slightest amount of "finger-grease" is on them. It's a good thing I refrained from buying 0201s. They would've pushed me over the edge.
