So 5-8 cents per led.  Including shipping that's a great deal, but I don't need 100 of each color! (though that would be cool)  Plus the resistors, although with effectsconnection, I'm getting a resistor with each LED, but won't need all of them if I put them in series.   I'll definitely keep ledshoppe bookmarked though.  When I get a bit more cash flow I might try this project in a grander scale.

ooh..  Just noticed that ledshoppe has   470 Ohm 1/4 Watt Carbon Film Resistors X 100pcs on sale for $1.99.  Or 1000pcs for $6.99

Can you post pix of the results?  I'm really keen to see how you go 

[walker]

yeah, i'll get some pics.  I don't have a camera (or cell phone) but I have a friend who will bring her iPhone over and take some photos when it's done.    I imagine there as many ways to do this as there are people willing to try it!

bump.  I'm still working on this!!!   Between my two jobs and my band, I haven't had much time for such activities.... but it's getting there. I also got sidetracked for a while by this: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=66840.0   Really wish I had a camera. 


Has anybody else tried this yet?   Philbinator?

Very off topic, and sorry to resurrect, but guilt brings me back...

went looking for this thread yesterday night so I could copy-paste my arsenic explanation to a friend

After reading my posts, I realize I become very harsh when in disagreement 

Sorry if I have offended/will offend anyone in the future, I don't mean to be mean, I just get excited in the heat of the argument

No problem, I was quoting what was in a Chemistry text from 1934, so this was the understanding at that time.  Maybe we should all keep some British Anti-Lewisite handy just in case.
