REL1100_0 Burned out some LED's ???

I'm using a Phidget VINT Hub and a REL1100_0 isolated solid state relay to drive some 5V LED's. To power the LED's (because the relays need external circuit for power), I used the Red+Black wires from a Phidget cable attached to my VINT Hub (Red wire --> LED+ | LED- --> relay port | relay GND --> Bl...
