I made another out of 2 leds and 2 aa batteries with on/off switch. the latest was 2 leds with a 3v adapter that I found at the 99 cent store for charging gameboys. I leave this on 24/7. On a side note, I put some leds into some guitar necks I have for "flash" on the fret markers. I have ran 6 leds off a 9v battery with no resistors and no problem this far.
