I chose series Omaroo because I had the resistors on hand and because I see the parallell method as an unnessesary complication for a simple system. If the job is done right, series should last a lifetime and if I get a dewy plate then I didn't take enough care with my solder joints and I deserve it. I'll put a tiny led in the curcuit as a positive check though.
