ok now many of us know that have bought LEDs how much of a pain in the ass it is to solder the resistors to each LEDs, to get maximum performance out of them, well i was thinking could you buy a different resistor and then use that one resistor put it at the end of a wire your one power wire, and then have other wires come off that LED(wiring in parallel) and then power the leds of those other wires, u kinda get what im saying. just so u have one resistor that all the leds work off of

first off... resistors only can handle so much current. you can probably do around 5 but no more i'd think.

it's not that big of a pain... but then again my solder gun heats up in 10 seconds
 And I use flux paste so the solder goes on smooth
