Alright, so I would really like to make up a simple circuit with 6 or 7 blue LED's that is able to plug into the wall and thus have it on a timer.
I know there are other posts regaurding this, but I wanted to start a new fresh one and then post up a nice step by step process...
I have a general idea of how to go about this, but I was just curious to know if anyone has done this before, I know you can buy kits from most pet stores, but I would like to be able to position the LED's on the underside of my custom tank hood, so I can aim all the LED's where I want to accent certain parts of the tank.
So, how have others gone about it? series or parrallel circuits, what types of resistors and transformer to convert the AC power to DC for the LED's?
Anything would be greatly appreciated, I tried an electronics store, but the lady behind the deck knew less than I did...I couldn't belive it...
