Definately not no. For your main luxeon led you would go :-
Code:
battery positive >>switch >>puck>>battery negagtive
(with the 2 output wires of the puck connected to your luxeon)
For your accent leds you would go :-
Code:
Battery positive >>switch >>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led1)
>>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led2)
>>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led3)
>>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led4)
etc etc
Now you can use the same switch as its just turning the power on/off so a combined setup would go something like this :-
Code:
battery positive >>switch >>puck >>battery negagtive
>>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led1)
>>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led2)
>>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led3)
>>resistor >>led >>battery negative (led4)
Those 20mcd types arent really going to be bright , you want 1000+mcd types if you want it to look like bleed through.
