I thought you may like to see how i made my led lights

The reasons i made them is
1) because I can
2) challenge
3) I could not find what i wanted off the shelf

Finished

They are supplied from a transformer (in a shed) with a diode in series
 
pretty nifty, you should make a few kits up and sell em on ebay.

How much was the total outlay, including transformer.
 
TBH I dont know

The leds are £1.49 from maplin, everything else i had "laying around"
