Thanks for the Jag Idea, it sounds like a great idea. I was going to use team color LEDs though, so I am not going to lay too much with colors.

I was planning to put them in parallel however and use a Zenner Diode to regulate the voltage, simply because a 6 led chain isn't very long. I Have not tested the idea yet. I have never used Zenner Diodes before, Any opinion/experience with it? Other ideas?
