Default DIY cheap and easy LED light bar!

Hey guys, so I thought I'd share my DIY LED light bar. It cost me around $25, an on/off switch I had lying around, and some metal to use as a mount I also had around.

I bought the LEDs from Walmart in the "ricer isle". They are called Alpena Flex 8" White LED Lights. There are two in the package, 3M double sided tape on the back of them, and they are flexible. They can be cut to what size you need, and are powered by 10 1.2v round battery's (not sure what they're called).

Pictures.

I have a few inches of similar LED strips leftover from a project (overhead lighting for my workplace)... Good idea, I will probably try it out when I decide to run lights! Mine are also waterproof.

I got a 14cm LED bar for USD 1.84 from Aliexpress.
Requires 12V so I run it off the balance connector (3s of course).
