Can you help me please i have a project to do with lights am gonna use small LED's how do I connect them with each others and plug them into the electricity directly?

soldering method:. is it better to first heat the wire and then apply solder or try to heat the solder and wire at the time time?

can you run 2 or 4 individual leds per core board/mount whatever its called?..would you run them in series or parallel? (that is if multiple leds can be ran on a single board) any help is appreciated

What if i make a series circuit of three of these using a battery holder and one a23 batteries? Would they still work like they do on the video??

@AstralFlo It would depend on the forward voltage of the LEDs you are using. Assuming that the forward voltage is say 3V, then you could use an A23 battery. You would still need to use a current regulating driver to ensure that the LEDs are not over-powered. You will find more details about powering LEDs on our website.

@luxeonstarleds Since a23 batteries are like 55mAh then i think they wouldnt overpower them and they are 12v batteries so i would use a resistor in that case but would they still be as bright???

@AstralFlo The low mAh of the battery only tells you the capacity of the battery, it is still quite capable of delivering high amounts of current and over powering the LEDs if you do not provide proper current regulation. A resistor can do the job, but it is not very efficient and will not adjust the output current based on the current battery voltage.
As for brightness, it would depend on the regulated current and the battery voltage. Check the help section on our website for more information.

The size of the heat sink will depend on the number of LEDs you are powering and the drive current you are using. You will find more information about how to determine what size heat sink you need in the knowledge base on our website. (Click on the Quick Question link.)
No idea who composed the tune...
