Step 54th and 5th ring
For the 4th ring you only use 4 LEDs, and make the leads really short, maybe 1 .5 cm total in length
Okay, you know the drill: heat shield -> PROPANE -> solder -> prepare LEDs -> solder LEDs ->solder anodes together
NOTE: you may be saying "But you said the red voltage was 2.7 and the green was 3.2, what did you do?!"
well, I soldered the two green LED in parallel and the two red LEDs in parallel, later I will run a wire just for the reds and the greens will be attached to the rest of the tree like normal
NOW! THE FINAL "RING"!
This one isn't really a ring.
Using tin snippities and MANLY MAN POWER, cut the wire about 1/4 in from the 4th ring, then tin the cathode, and solder it to the 4th ring's cathodes/ the solder ring down there. you can adjust the height of the 5th "ring" to whatever you want. I kept the height change constant. I suggest wrapping the anode in a circle around the cathode, this way all the green wires will be easy to solder to the top. I also used a white led, for super-coolness points!
