I've got the appropriate amount of light for my microscope ring light, but now I need to put it all in an enclosure of some sort.

If I don't have a custom board to solder these to, what are my best options for connecting these she mounting them into something?

If this is too vague, please let me know if I can clarify

They are available in a number of different sizes.

Like the other commenter said they are available in various sizes, but they are also really easy to cut into shape, even odd shapes using a Dremel, router, or scroll saw.

Green perf board usually has fiberglass inside so I'd be careful about dremeling it. Brown perf board has cardboard inside.

That's actually really really good to know, I would have just dove right in, heaedless of color

I'm really not sure the color is a good indicator, I'd just take precautions regardless.

Yeah wear a mask, so this outside or in a well ventilated area.
