Soldering Oznium led's?

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

I got a bunch of super bright leds from oznium (6 3mm, 20 5mm, and 2 10mm, plus 28 of the 1/4 watt 470 ohm resistors) so i understand you solder the resistor to the positive side of the light. id have to run the positive to a switch or something. but should i wire them in series or parallel? and just to clarify series is the - on one light to the + on the next one with the resistor in between? or parallel where i run a positive run and a negative run then attach all the + to one side and all the - to the other???

and what kind/ size of power wire should i use? i know how to solder, but just not sure how exactly i should wire them up?

thanks

you wire all of the LED's in parallel, still keeping the resistors on the positive leg. 22 gauge wire should be fine for the wires to it, it doesn't pull much for current.

Sounds good. Then can I just hot glue them down or something?
