How can you build a wooden box with LEDs in it?

Question

I'm trying to build a couple of wooden boxes, that when you step on them, LED lights will shine upwards. The goal is for them to be durable and relatively inexpensive to make.

Answer 1

depending on your planned use,you can just buy the l.e.d.s at a local auto parts store and play with them from there the cheep way.

you could drill holes to place the lights in and use a router to cut a path for the wire,a power source will be needed too .

Get a bundle of LEDs (should be cheap), wire

them up in series (or parallel), to the required

battery voltage and connect it to a step-on switch.
