I forgot to mention the bit about drilling a 1mm hole in the end of the LED dome for the wires to go through.
This is a really simple and neat hack that allows you to use a common waterproof led vase light to make a waterproof battery holder for a standard copper wire LED string. These holders can usually take two CR2032 lithium cells, although I tend to recommend just using one. They should also be OK with LIR2032 rechargeable lithium button cells. The copper string LED lights are inherently waterproof.

Here's a general ebay search link for the waterproof lights:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
