As opposed to buying a boring, sane set of identical lights, what I would really like to do is scavenge old LEDs from existing electronics.  This is less an attempt to save money than it is an attempt to make a secondhand art piece.  Ideally what I would end up with is a mish-mash of different-sized and different-colored LEDs, all obtained from old electronics.  But I need a lot of them - 625 to be exact - although not necessarily all at once; I have no problem with this being an ongoing project where I get a few at a time.

I have a whole collection of loose blinky LEDs from a costume I once
made.  I can see if I can pry them loose when next I go to my storage
space; do you want blinky LEDs though?
