neat... but why not just carry around a 3v coin battery? I have a bundle of CR2032 's and they work perfectly for testing LEDs, assuming the LED is rated for lower than 4V.

thats what im talking about buddy. HEL.L.U.G. i like the build like the notebook pictures. im going to start this build in a little bit. only im going to use some stuff thats already made like a 2 AAA holder outta parts ive salvaged. but i need this for a led project im working on. i ordered a bunch of surface led's from china. and i wanted to test them before i make it and solder a bunch and find out one or 2 are bad. (ive had previous times of buying 1000leds where a handful were bad)

dont forget to vote in the burning questions round 4. read my entry's and if you like it vote for me..
