Step 27Making the LED tree
You will need to solder a lot of LED in parallel. I made my self a jig to hold down all the LED while soldering.
I simply put every LED in there holes and pointing the cathode all the same way. I then cut different length of wire for the LED. I use a other sort of tool to help me cut them faster. I started by soldering all the cathode first, then I solder all them together in pack of 10. I did the same thing with the anode.
The wire I use was wire wrap 30 gauge. I would recommend using 28 gauge so that will make the "branch" stiffer.
Cathode = flat side of the LED
