I think that your problem is not the voltage but the current (amperage) that the battery is delivering. The seven LEDs may have draining more power than your battery supports. Even if does, if it is a small battery it will drain very fast. The ideal would be to use a power supply instead. It doesn't...

Wouldn't PVC water pipe work?

Yesterday I came back to the store where I bought the crap paint and gave it back. As I could remember they had the paint I wanted, but when I was to pick it I saw that they didn't have the color .

So! This is the kind of thing that I already should have learned, but we are always repeating the same errors again and again, uh? Couple days ago I walked in a local stationary store and asked to the clerk a "Colorgin" rattle can of matte white. Actually I saw the can in the shelf and poi...
