So I have a cactus that never gets any light and I want to build a 100 LED circuit that I can plug into my wall outlet.

Here are the specs for my LED's

Reverse voltage: 5 V
DC foward voltage: 3.2 typical 3.6 max
DC foward current: 20mA

I have done some research and I think that I can connect four bulbs in series and just make 25 of these four bulb series in parallel. Will this work? What can I use to convert my AC power to DC 12V?

I know almost nothing about LED's so any help is appreciated, thanks.

a simple DC adapter would be a good power supply as far as my limited knowledge tells me. so long as you wire your LED to run on 12v dc @whatever current the adapter is supplying.
