Here is a quick "how about that" google search result for understanding LED circuits - may get you started. Its important to understand that LEDs arent like regular lamps.

If you're going to use that many lights, you may want to cosider the Axial NV system or other LED controller.

You will need resistors on your LED strands - building a circuit board to handle all the strands might be a better option. And, if you're going to all that trouble, it would be wise to consider an already made controller.

Then again, you could just use a battery of your choice and a bunch of lights. recharge battery as needed and replace the burnt LEDs as required.
