The LED spec states a voltage of 3.5 Vdc. 3V might still work but with fading color and intensity output. For the 9V I had in mind the serial example on your instructions but didn't spell it clearly out in the write up. Thanks again for clarifying :D Hi Janet, thanks for pointing out my mistake on accuracy. The LED spec states a voltage of 3.5 Vdc. 3V might still work but with fading color and intensity output.

Using a higher voltage could damage the LEDs, and a lower voltage might only illuminate the red portion. You can use a 9V battery if you split the lights into two serial circuits, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise. hi- a quick clarification – I’m not sure where you got the numbers 3-9V, the tutorial specifies a battery voltage of 4.5V for this type of LED.
