I know there is thousands of projects, out there for led night lights. But I'm having a problem because, all the ones that I'm seeing are 9v. I suck at math and have no idea how to figure it out for 3v. I'm trying to run about 15 leds, and I need the photocell to turn them off in the daylight. The photocell I thought could just be inline, but turns out it works backwards, from what I thought. So i will be running 3v with 15 leds. Can someone help me figure out this circuit? I have burned my fingers raw, from resisters. And i'm about to give up. Please Help!!!

3V applied directly to white LED's gives you no control over the current that will pass through them (but you would connect them in parallell with no resistors anywhere)..

yes it would be just the 3v going straight to the leds running parallell
