How to build a 1,024,000 mcd portable light

Step 6Start on the last 8 rows.

Start on the last 8 rows.
Insert your next set of LEDs in between the rows which you've just soldered. The leads will be perpendicular to the first 8 rows, and the positive and negative leads will alternate being upward and downward. e.g:

+ - + -
- + - +

The LEDs may be a little hard to get in between your existing rows, but a little press with your thumb should send them in to place.

Experiment a little with this row before soldering, and it'll make sense.

Could use some help in building out / and designing some very cool wall art. I need to figure out if I can get it done in US, the nearer to Los Angeles the better. Basically, looking to build, 2 foot by 2 foot light boxes. LED, slightly warm, and under $80 a piece for ten. Can it be done by anyone you can suggest? Or how it can put up as a project to get feed back on? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Pete
