An next ive made up two leds to get a little idea of what they will be like an the pins have been cut down to the size i want so they can be mounted on a brass box section as the small pin will be solered to the brass an the other live wire has shrink rap fitted on to stop any eletric shorts outs

an here they are all fitted an the wires are all lives an one negative as again like the top big brass bar these small four are all wired negative through the brass box section so only one neg wire rest are lives an they now have little bit of tishue rolled up in the tubes so that the spray paint wont go onto the leds
