Hello- I think this is likely a pretty simple build to put together, but I have zero experience when it comes to electronics/electrical type projects and would appreciate any help or advice.
I am trying to figure out what it would take to have approximately 50 LEDs each be individually controlled by an on/off push button or flip switch. The LEDs need to be pretty bright, so I'm thinking about using something similar to these:

I'm hoping that the lights will all light up at the same brightness, and they won't dim the more that are turned on.
Based on my searching, it sounds like this would also likely be able to be done somehow with an Audrino board or something along those lines, but I think for my purposes where kids may be playing with this, it'll be easier if it's just done the old fashioned way with a switch for each LED.
I'm guessing that if I can get down what it takes for controlling one or two LEDs I can just keep duplicating it over and over, and just make sure I have a power supply large enough to handle them.
Any help or suggestions on how I could wire something like this would be greatly appreciate. Thank you!
