Hi fellas, I've been putting together a new spindle light for my Taig Mill and I'd like it to be much brighter than before. In the enclosure, I have enough room to house 23 (yes, 23 lol!) LED's but I'm not positive about the best way to go about wiring them.

Some info:

23 white LED's
- forw. voltage 3.4
- forw. current 25 mA

Source will be a 9.5 volt Apple printer Power supply with 1.5 amps available

I've used the online calculators and I come up with 23pcs. 270 ohm 1/2 w resistors, but that's an aweful lot more parts to stuff in there. I bought one of those $5 puck lights that has 24 LEDs in it and they don't have hardly anything like that inside. They use those tiny little surface mount resistors, but there's like only 2 of them in there? Is there a cleaner way to do this with a lot less parts? I honestly don't mind soldering all that, but it just seems to be too much for what I'm trying to do.

Obviously I'm not an electronics guy, I just know enough to be dangerous -

Thanks for the help and your time-
Dave
