That sounds about right. Our EE mentor built a circuit for us containing 8 IR LEDs, that were powered off 12 volts, and 650 mA each.
The standard 2 in the remote were powered off of 3 volts, and about 30? mA each.

Anyhow, to make a long story short, the new thing is stylish, and is about 300 times more powerful. We got its range out to 20x the other one, and gave up testing the limits (we ran out of hallway). If I can scan the schematic in the next week or so I'll post it.
