SMD LEDs soldered to a tinned copper wire. The other connection is in series with a current limiting resistor. The resistors are arranged such that the lead of one connects to the next so all LEDs are in parallel. Each SMD LED draws 20mA.

Red = Port or Left. The resistors sit in a slot made with a soldering iron tip run around a cardboard curve. LEDs are CA'd onto foam and resistors and slot are covered/filled with white silicone rubber (after this photo).
