Haha, truth be told I've never soldered before in my life I've seen others do it though it appears to be pretty easy so I'm not too concerned with that.
So what I've came up with so far is that I need to solder the LEDs together in a series and not a parallel. Not too sure but that seems more logical than parallels to me.
For supplies I'll be getting a PCB board, a really small one to start off, 12v power supply, 5 blue LEDs, 5 red, and 5 white. To go along with that I'm sure I'll need resistors and wire. I was thinking I would just place them in 5 sets of 3, and then connect the positive and negative to a wire connected to all of the LEDs and then take those wires and wire them up to the power supply? I've seen a few DIY tutorials on youtube and I've seen them talk about voltage regulators. No clue at all about those and if I'll need them with resistors or not. Next message I'll post specs of LEDs and resistors so you can double check? Thanks
