Subj: LEDs in parallel

Hello all,
Having taken apart a broken cycle light recently I discovered that
it has 5 LEDs completely in parallel, without individual current-
limiting resistors....I thought that this was poor design?
- But for information, I've heard that some LEDs now have built-in
current limiting resistors. Maybe these do...perhaps there is a way
to tell :-)
