Nostalgically many of you probably remember the led throwies or floaties that you'd tie to a balloon and let float off into space.
Many of the instructions for making those are outdated from back in 2007 and 2011. So in an attempt to refresh this concept with updated more efficient/powerful LED's I'd like to ask the community for help.
What is the brightest 5mm and 10mm LED's that I can buy that can be powered by some type of CR watch like battery? Also would I need a special type of resister? If so what kind?
Because I don't know electronics very well it would be super helpful if any of you could post links to websites with the parts.
My main objective is to get the brightest LED possible powered by cell type battery. I'm ok if the light only last an hour or less.
Thank you in advance for your input!
