They were $79 for 700. (I bought some extras because I figured I might break/lose a few. Besides, I might need them for another project!)

The headers hold the LED’s quite well. They are inserted without the leads cut, and even so they hold when the board is held face-down. If the leads were to be cut, I think they would be even more secure.

Thanks for the compliment!

I am interested in doing the same thing and was just wondering what headers you used, and if you are happy with them. Do the hold to LED’s in upside-down?
Thanks
