Launchpad - Lights and LEDs

For the lighting signals, I finally left the optical fiber for a simplier solution. As it was the end of the year, stores were full of LED's Christmas tree lights, and I found one with 80 white LEDs.
The lights seem to differ in size and in their shape during the show (see Catacombs) :
- bulbed or (harder to identifie with the brightness) cylindrical.
- Reduced to the scale of the kit, the bulbed one would be 2 or 3mm in diameter (with a small rim), to 3 or 4mm for cylindrical (without rim).
Here, my 5mm LED next to the 3mm hole originally planned for the optical fiber.
So, they are a bit too big, but considering the time saved, I'll accommodate.
