The Plan

Originally, I was just going to get some coin batteries, some LED's and try my hand at some BS soldering. Well... Fuck that.

My new idea is way better, and I think could work real nicely if done right.

The idea is simple. I don't want batteries. Honestly the damn LED's to be on all the time, and batteries don't really last.

SO what do I do? Wire them up fam. Sure there is going to be some wires coming from a couple of the models hooked up, but hell it will look dope!

Simplicity until its complicated

5V power supplies are dirt cheap on Amazon, and I bet I can get a nice little inline switch too. The idea is to wire up some these fuckers:

In parallel so the voltage can just be 5V. These little bastards are pre-made LED's with resistors already in them. Fantastic right?

Get something like this:

for the power supply and just cut the end off. Its a 5V DC out, at 2 Amp so a total wattage of 10W. Each LED is around 20mA which is 0.1W each. That means I can have 100 LED's all connected in parallel at the same time. More than enough capacity.

So the only issue I have now is cable management. Its going to be a nightmare to cable manage them all in parallel.
