I'm sure you can get a better deal on LED's than that, take a look through the wiki under modding suppliers.

Thanks for the links. LSdiodes.com is under construction so I couldn't see any pricing. The other sites I went to were more then superbrightleds.com. The cheapest white led was .49 and the cheapest red led was .24. I didn't look to see any specs on them though, just that they were the cheapest. And I think I found the drill bit I am going to use. on the left.
still?!?! i hope there not going out of business...
ya thats a bit i would use too, or the ball. it depends on which does the better job. but like i said use a old keyboard or go around your neighborhood on garbage day and look for keyboards to practice on.

I like this idea, and not to hijack the thread but I have a wireless keyboard, lets say I was to tinker with lighting, can it remain wireless or would the LEDs suck too much battery power if its even possible to attach them to the circuit somehow. I know LEDs are efficient but I don't know how efficient
I am a huge electrical noob
I have the keyboards to practice on. Old Emachine PS2 one.. lol. I got 2 of the bits on the left from a science and surplus store for $2 so I don't think I would be at a loss with them. Also they are pretty tiny and could probably do the job quite well as long as I can keep a steady hand.
And Ninjutsu, I think you could keep it wireless if you were able to have some other internal power source like a couple of 9v's but don't know how long that would last depending on how many bulbs and space you needed.
you could steal the power from the batteries but i would for sure add a switch, but it will decrease the life, not sure how much but it will affect it a bit. depending on how many you use will also affect it.

Spawn... I went to LSDiodes again and it says "LSDiodes Optoelectronics has closed up shop
