soldering iron should i get to solder on some Surface mount LEDs for my dash? not soldered for a good 3 years, but i used to be a dab handy at it, but for some reason all my irons have vanished :/ and i dont want to ruin them with an iron thats too hot..

[edit] sorry if its in the wrong section, i couldnt decide which it was best in..

Seeing as you can solder. One of those really cheapy 30w irons will do the job fine. SMD's really aren't that small.
