I suck at LEDs and electronics

Post by jpolacchi »

I was curious if anyone out there knows of any kind of manual or guide about wiring and installing LED's and other lighting effects? I am SO BAD at it its embarrassing. Learning to solder is one thing, wiring LEDs and using circuit boards is another.
