Incredible tutorials, I can't figure out how to make a flashing LED circuit b/c all the other instuctions aren't as thorough as yours. So if you could make an instructable on how to make those LEDs flash, that would be awesome. :)

if you had a 6V power source and 6-1V  would you need resistors is you did it in the parallel way?

I am totally new to all this stuff. Could you add say a 4 AA battery box and add more LED's and use this as a flash light or as a lantern for camping or such?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR...CAN YOU CONNECT 4 LED LIGHTS TO A BOX AND HAVE A SEPARATE SWITCH FOR EACH LIGHT ON A SEPARATE BOX(LIKE A REMOTE CONTROL THAT IS ATTACHED TO A LONG WIRE-ABOUT 2-3 FEET AWAY)???  LOOKING FOR THIS FOR MY CLASSES-I AM A TEACHER...THANKS!!!

Excellent hands-on follow up to your first tutorial. My Bunker Hill wireless alert signals an intruder by issuing a doorbell sound...as-well-as... three LEDs blinking together. I plan to cut the speaker wires to make the unit function in a silent mode with only the LEDs activated, but presently the LEDs blink once, when the intruder breaks the transmitter’s beam. Is there a way to keep the LEDs lit until I hit a reset switch?

Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for a simple LED project to start with, and I chose this! I also had to mess with the switch a bit before I figured it out, but otherwise your instructions were clear. Thanks again :)

Like it, but... I had to look to see how you wired the switch. But Nice Job aside.
