Lighting LEDs PLEASE HELP

[Honus]

For about $5 you can wire up a PWM Dimmer using a 555 IC. No need for microcontrollers and extremely efficient; better than using just a pot. It's actually quite easy and fun to do! I'm using one for my Holograph build.

Yep! I forgot about those- 555 timer circuits are super easy to do. You can do blinking and chaser circuits as well. Many, many years ago that's how I did my proton pack lighting.

Man-O-Man... There's a lot to learn when it comes to circuits and whatnot...
