Lights and batteries need advice

[cloudswimmer]

Hey guys,

Just ordered some RPM light pods for my KOH rig. I'm going to need 4 led's to put in them and some kind of power source. Can you recommend what I need for those led bulbs and a good place to get them, and I need a recommendation on what type of battery and connectors I'm going to need to power them. Never done lights on a scale rig before.

Thanks,
Chris S

you can run them thru of your RX, or you can power them with a 9v batt or 4 AA batts. they are other options also, depends on what works best for you.

Ok a 9v transistor sounds easy enough. So as for the led's, is there a certain type I want to get, is there such thing as a 'HID' led bulb? is it something Radio Shack sells? Sorry for the newbness here

Thanks!

Sounds like you are going a different direction than I would, so this information might be exactly what you need but I will leave it for you to consider:
I like to power LEDs from receiver power.
How to wire LEDs

Here's a idea for your KOH lights too:
