Hello guys, with not enough money for a new saber, but still a need to build something that light up, blink or whatever. My fingers itch with nothing to build, I decided to re-build a protective mask. This one:

This mask is meant to be use if you work with everything smelly, like paint or solvents.
Bought it some days ago, took it apart and throwed away the "filters" to make room for batteries and stuff.
I also bought
20 high-intensity green LEDs wanting 20mA and
10 UV LEDs also wanting 20mA.
I have room for max. 4 AA batteries.
I want to drive 4 or 5 UV and 7 green LEDs with only that much batteries.
Now I want your thoughts on how to do that in a simple way and other ideas on this project. Any help and whatever stupid ideas you got up your sleeve is welcome!
