Hero999 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Seams fairly simple to me. Connect the LEDs in strings of as many as the power supply voltage will allow, each with its own series resistor and use a power MOSFET to switch each bank of LEDs.

Andy_66 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks for the reply but I only have enough room for 2 - 3 9v batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 How long to you want it to last for? You don't have large enough batteries to light that many LEDs for more than a couple of minutes at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
