I'm curious if anyone knows of an LED emitter set up that could be easily adapted for use in a pendant light. I have a bunch of antique glass shades (they'll be used as shades anyway) to use that I could drill a hole in to hang. Is there anything out there that works for this? I'm trying to keep cost reasonably low because I will be building A LOT of these. Thanks!

Thanks for the response!

How about anything a little more plug-n-play and also lower wattage? I figure it's a long shot but this would be the place to ask!

I'm researching for my dad and I don't think he wants to be doing any soldering. I was wondering if there is any kind of set up people use for string lights, or similar, that could be adapted for this particular use.
