The chandelier

This dining room chandelier was with the dollhouse for as long as I can remember. I don't know the rest of its history. However, one of the arms was falling off so I glued it back on. I am hoping the glue solidifies enough, but I may have to reinforce it with something stronger. I also touched up the silver paint. In any case, I wanted to put lights in it so I did that yesterday evening. I wired up the LEDs and glued them to the candle holders and plugged it in. The glue ended up looking a bit like wax, which was the look I was going for. It's really pretty because the whole thing lights up. I wrapped the wires connecting the LEDs along the arms and will paint them silver so they won't show too much.  Here is how it turned out.

I may add a plug so the chandelier can be taken out without having to break the wires since it was originally removeable. Actually, adding a few plugs may be a useful idea. Although it does add complications. The resistors are matched to the specific circuit so it wouldn't be good to plug the firewood into the chandelier outlet, etc. Also, diodes are directional, meaning current only flows in one direction (which is why I needed a DC power transformer instead of an AC one) so if the plug gets plugged in the wrong way the lights wouldn't turn on. It may be more work than its worth. Maybe I'll just add a plug to the chandelier. Any thoughts?
