fluid-druid's approach is a good one. I prefer blink-LEDs, meaning that they are both IR and visible, so I can see what is happening; this takes care of knowing whether one has blown.

Glackowitz's approach with the CB-60 is perfect. The 789-44 has the same electronics, meaning one series resistor per LED, with the disadvantage of only four outputs and the advantage of a terminal strip. The CB-60, if I remember correctly, requires miniplugs for all connections, so putting it at a distance requires a splice to a short cable with a plug, or soldering a mini stereo plug. I'd rather just screw down wires.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
