I have many 5 mm RGB LEDs that I want to solder together into a long chain. I want to make three chains of about 30 cm length. They will be hidden inside some frosted acrylic tubing so it doesn't need to look too pretty but it does need to be pretty straight.
In this picture you can see the method I've used to bend the legs outwards, then downwards before soldering each LED to the next. I guess I can just proceed like this but it's hard to keep the thing going straight and I wanted to check whether anyone knew of an easier or tidier way.
