    I got my kits and assembled the AC/DC circuit and it works great!  I’m wondering if I can connect a 4th Flickery Flame kit or would that be too much of a draw for the conversion circuit?  Or would it just dim all of the LEDs?

    Thank you very much for the detailed information, this is perfect!  It makes so much more sense now!  I looked at the 150ohm resistors on Jameco, but there are 1/2 watt and 1/4 watt.  How do I know which to choose based on the above application? 

    Ultimately, I would like to run 3 kits off of one output to start with, but if I were to build something custom like the series LED link above, what would be the maximum number of LEDs I would be able to power from that 4.5V DC?

    Thanks again!
