Thanks Frank.

My electronics skills are a little rusty can you (or ian) give me some
poin=
ters on how to power say 20 leds e.g.

i) power source to use (voltage)
ii) any circuits need/components
iii) Do you think shrink wrapping the led joints would be sufficient
iv) also i will be putting them into a deck pointing vertical, whats the
be=
st LEDS to use for this - size, brightness, viewing angle etc.

And if we want to go super clever are there any easier (or off the shelf)
l=
ittle homebrew circuits i can use to control the lights more
intelligently,=
i.e. falsh them, turn every other one on etc. or if i use bi-color leds ch=
ange the colors :-)

Geeze dont i sound dumb :-)

Thanks alot
