The ones I used were 3 volt, hence the button battery but you can get them 9 - 12 volt so they can be wired directly into a dollhouse or use that 9 volt battery.<br /><br />One other great thing about the LEDs is that they do not get hot so they work really well in an enclosed space... like your punkins!Tabitha Corsicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204999959878537971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393426147320724799.post-36362180181541117142012-02-20T23:05:52.150-08:002012-02-20T23:05:52.150-08:00Oh also, the wires in back will be covered quite a...Oh also, the wires in back will be covered quite a lot with matching colored tape so they will be more hidden and flattened out and yet still accessible should you need to get into them. So the back of the cabinet won't look so bad in the end I'm sure.tarayvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589867093037739644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393426147320724799.post-77707402287424612802012-02-20T23:02:02.148-08:002012-02-20T23:02:02.148-08:00That's very good information and I thank you f...That's very good information and I thank you for it :) I'm new to wiring and I thought that it would work best for most dollhouse collector people if they had the option to wire the cabinet into their house or roombox and possibly eliminate batteries totally in favor of electricity, and I'm not familiar yet with LED lighting except the fireplace I just did in the Sweeney Todd theme and that also ran on batteries and was LED. I know you can't change the bulbs out when they burn out in those like you can these which is a plus I think. This way you want to wire it in you can, if the bulbs burn out you can change them :) The last LED bulbs concerned me because they could not be replaced as needed.tarayvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589867093037739644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393426147320724799.post-55055627272907473462012-02-20T14:18:38.895-08:002012-02-20T14:18:38.895-08:00I've lit these little cabinets with LEDs.

Last forever so one doesn't need to worry about changing the bulbs and the battery is the size of a nickel which I hide under the cabinet (along with the tiny on/off button). These batteries also last a long time. You should look into it for future projects!Tabitha Corsicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204999959878537971noreply@blogger.com
