Lighting/wiring help needed

Recommended Posts

I made this light for my kitchen of the house I'm presently working on. I originally wanted to use the small round screw in bulbs but the best insert of this fixture is plastic. I was nervous to place the regular bulbs because of heat.

so I decided to use three micro LEDs. Can I solder those three lines from the LEDs to one round wire line that plugs into outlet receptacle or do I need to round wire each bulb separately? Thanks. Any input would be much appreciated. 

I'm in a hold pattern because of this lighting. I want to finish this fixture so I can complete floor above

You can solder the wires to your round wire system but there is one exception - LED's have a positive and a negative wire so you have to find and label them so you don't hook them up incorrectly. You can test the LED wires using a 9 volt battery to figure out which is which. Hope that helps!
