It's basic electronics. Get an AC Adapter and check it's Voltage and milliamp rating, check the LED rating, then get a Resistor in between to reduce the voltage from the AC adapter to the LED to match that of the LED (too much power, and you'll blow the LED).



For multiple ones, just wiring them up in parallel:

Anyone in between abbotsford and vancouver have any LED's they want to see so I can DIY one myself ? I emailed a guy on Ebay but that will take some time to get from him .
