RF Wireless Mini Remote Controller
Voltage: 5V -24V
Output Current: 12A

The led's i dont have much info on they started as a string of 100 xmas lights that plug in to 110v ac

I have connected these led's to 2×aa on a switch but im to the point now where i have minimal space to work with but need wireless RF on/off remote as i do long exposure photography..

My new tool im trying to make will have aprox. 10-12 of the xmas led lights around the outside of my tool .. Thanx in advance for any help

There is a great device family here...

And plenty of hacks for them. They are largely mains powered devices.

Then there is the Dreaded Arduino...

A great deal of info is around to make what you want I think.

You could use something like this around the lens, and control the colour and brightness.

My grand daughter is in the process of making just that as she does stop motion movies.
She is starting from...

and will add more functions to it until she has what she wants, like the Arduino being controlled via a radio link.
Each LED can be controlled individually as to colour and brightness, and individual LED modules can be added, or strips of them.

It may be worth your while looking into them.
