need electrical help with adding tiny lights?

Question

without giving away my idea :) i need to know how i can install a light bulb as small or smaller than a christmas light inside of my sculpture and have it run on batteries.

is there anything i need to know as far as wattage or basically to make sure the battery doesnt blow up the sculpture?
im guessing i will need 9 tiny lights.

also how do i connect them? just solder the wires to the battery input? or is there a whole complicated system of capacitors and whatnot i have to deal with?

does the size of the wire matter?

Answer 1

There are some really sweet christmas lights that run on batteries, little tiny strings that are for use in those little tabletop village scenes. Why not buy them ready-made like this?

Sounds like a cool idea - have fun!

Answer 2

study up on dc circuts. and go from there.......... I think you can by something similar to that (light system) check with radio shack or some arts and crafts stores...
