Distributing Power Question

[compuguru]

I'm working on something for my work where 8 different LEDs will be controlled by a piece of equipment. The equipment essentially acts like a switch, connecting the ground side of the LED to the ground of the power supply when the LED is supposed to be lit up. But on the hot side, I'm trying to figure out the best way to distribute the power to the LEDs. I'm planning on using a small power supply to power the LEDs. What would be the best/neatest way to connect all the LEDs to the power supply? Should I twist them together or connect them to some type of switch or board?

Is probably the cheapest way.

You may want to consider using something like THIS (cost under $50) as it provides multiple connection points as well as isolation and fused capability in case one line faults or shorts.

How much current do you anticipate each leg using (just the LED drive?).

Thanks for the suggestions, it looks like what Collin recommended is what I need. I'm only planning to have up to 3 LEDs on at a time, so the power usage is very small.
