   worked. Everything you mentioned including your circuit worked fine.

   I felt the need to provide evidence of its working because 1) you   
   said you could not get it to work and 2) I detected some   
   skepticism on the part of others.   
      
   Diodes used in that somewhat unusual configuration could lead to   
   errors in the wiring. Maybe that's why it didn't work for you at   
   first. Glad to know that it did work eventually.   
      
   As I said before, you can add more LEDs in parallel. Each LED   
   takes up only a tiny fraction of the load current and will not   
   divert a significant amount of current away from the main diodes.   
   This in turn will not significantly reduce the voltage drop   
   across the diodes which is what enables the LED(s) to light up.
