How To Use LEDs In A Custom Build - The Easy Way

I wanted to show how I use LEDs in my custom builds. This is a super easy how to video on using the LED from a tea light and incorporating into your custom build. I hope this is helpful to you in your next awesome creation!

I hope you enjoy this easy How To video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

This was extremely helpful and it is a tutorial I will reference again in the future. You make the process very clear and easily understandable and your results speak for themselves. I hope you will do more tutorials like this in the future. Thank you for sharing this information.

Thank you for the video. The dollar tree has a string of led lights for 1.25 that I’m using for a build and I was able to use it with no modifications. Just placed electrical tape on one of the bulbs I didn’t need.
In the Halloween section.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I have been through the same thing where I feel like I have NO idea what they are talking about, like it is Quantum Physics or something and I am thinking, "It only has like 2 wires, how hard could it be?" Plus, often the crafters have done it so many times that they explain it really fast, AND often I can't see what they are doing bc there hands are kind of in the way. GREAT JOB on this video, I am sure it will help a lot of people!

Thanks dude! And thanks for keeping the tinning mistake in. Seeing problems solved in realtime like that is so helpful.

i use the same candles for my built but i don't change anything. they can last for 300 hours so no need to ever change the battery unless you keep it lit all the time.
love your customs btw. great idea with the guitar cord and rubber tubes for adding details.

Thanks for the tutorial ! It's gonna be really helpful. I was kinda scared to add LEDs to my project but you made it a tiny bit less scary ^^

That does look easy. Time to find a okish sodering iron.

Jut bought some tea lights. From the Dollar tree yesterday.

[Crimsomreaf]

i really want to get my sanctuary three model let us and painted and these tea lights would be perfect for the back of the engines, how would you go about doing multiple lights in a daisychain fashion.

Perhaps you can even reuse the trasparent "flame" in a build, looks like an interesting shape!

It's been awhile since I've been to Hobby Lobby, but if you have their app you can get 40% off a single item when you're there. I didn't know about tinning, thank you!
