The complete guide to using LEDs

Step 4: Connections

There are 2 ways to wire LEDs together. One is to wire them Annode to Annode   Cathode to Cathode that will run on the same voltage but more amperage. the other is to wire them annode to cathode annode to cathode. That will have a higher Voltage but a lower amperage.

your explanations are really easy to follow thanks. i have no electrical background, voltage im guessing is the power of something what is amperage?

Amprage is how fast the electrons are moving, Voltage mesures how far from ground the positive is:
5v= +lead-----------<5 volts>---------------ground (0)
