First question are the LED the same colour? Can you obtain a electronic switch?
This can be used from your transmitter to turn on the lights if you supply information  on the  led to be used  we should be able to help.

I've just down something similar, using a P69 switcher from Action Electronics that cost me about £20. It switches on and off two different lights from the tx and doesn't need an extra battery in the boat.

Lights are all the same colour.   I have used the led's that come on a string and use 2 AA batteries. I have switched to a 6v battery and they work fine.   I would like to use this style for this project

It's being brought up in parallel on the thread wanting to run grain of wheat bulbs I think.  Some easy answers there.
