A small soldering iron vs a soldering gun may be a better choice. LEDs are pretty sensitive to excess heat. The tip on an iron is smaller than on a gun which should make the job easier. Consider a small heat sink as well when soldering.

If you already know all this, ignore. In any case I thought it might be good info for those less DIY inclined.
