i didnt complain about led brightness ... someone else brought that up and i can adjust that later
i didnt gloss over or contradict any "astute answer" i have gotten here.... i can adjust brightness later with resistor changes, and the whole transister thing is a moot point because i am now turning the leds on then off without a delay one by one. my last question was more of a "is there anything wrong with turning the leds on and off so quickly for an indefinite period of time.... ill ask future questions elsewhere
