Ive been tasked with coming up with a solution to make some led cocktail tables on the cheap for my mates barn where he has the occasional party. The price of the units new are apparently around the £500 mark so theres no way he can afford that and probably doesnt need anything as professional.

Given we are going for a budget alternative I would be happy not having them colour changing and just a single colour so should make things slightly cheaper.

Ideally the units need to run off batteries as cables and drunk people dont mix. Can you get suitable batteries to drive LEDs? I know you can get LED xmas lights so I think the answer to that must be yes but any info would be appreciated.

My only other alternative would be to go with cables and use cable protectors taped down? This way I could use LED Par cans and could even hook them up via DMX so they could change colour at the same time.

Any other thoughts fire away

Thanks for the input guys, a lot of it is going over my head but Im sure a bit of reading will get me up to speed.

Anyone know where I can get a battery pack that I can connect to a PCB or just wire it straight from it perhaps?
