I’d recommend 3V CR2032 Li coin cell batteries. They will power LEDs for hours. 😊 I’d probably go with one coin cell for every 2 LEDs for optimum performance, assuming they are 3V LEDs ofc. I have plenty of miniature LED tutorials on my website chrisbuxeypaints.com if you’re interested in more info.
