I am currently planning a project to light up a model of a cruise ship. I've done this before with some success.
To keep things simple I want to wire in Parallel. (Assuming I've understood the difference correctly; Each LED will have a direct connection to the power source)
I will be using a mix of colours; White, Warm White, Blue, Red, Green. Every LED is pre-wired or will be fitted with a resistor (470) to allow them to be run from a 12v source.
Every online simulation I run and my own previous experience says this will work perfectly fine, but every article I read seems to scream "no don't do it" and even then, opinions seem to differ.
Above is an example of my wiring diagram, forgive the crudity. There will be a lot more LEDs used than this, but this gives you an idea of my plans.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

EDIT:
This is the overall schematic that I have planned:
Sadly I cannot provide the direct link for this circuit as it is too long for browsers apparently.
