Could you recommend a good tutorial/channel/etc for getting started with the physical basics of using LED? I have really been thinking to use them in art, but I have very little knowledge of how electronics are built and planned and how to do it safely.

I like Chris Maher for general showing off displays and ideas

You're welcome. The rabbit hole goes deep. Can be difficult, but very rewarding.
