My LEDs came in
« on: February 14, 2008, 02:35:24 PM »
I have 1000 11000 mcd pure white LEDs.  Have to go to radio shack to get some resistors on friday or this weekend and then I can get to work making myself an LED fixture.

I have this groovy toy, which is a box with all electrical components and you clip wires to the springs to make different things.  A 50 in 1 kit.  I got it in Maplin, which is the UK Radio Shack.

Am I correct to assume you want to be among the first to have a home lit mostly by LEDs?

The first unit, half way done.

I'm going to make a second unit but I need to find a better source of resistors, Radio Shack is overpriced.

My daughter has one of those, too.  It has a book that has different experiments in it.
