An LED is basically a diode (they arethus they have equivalent models in a circuit). Current through an LED will not be affected very much, and the voltage drop across an LED is some constant number (in your case, around 0.15V).

I think you might be confusing an LED with a resistor, which has a variable voltage drop due to the circuit / current provided.
