My response was based on daoldman's advice, lol... doesn't sound safe at all. |

Yeah, I'm more inclined to go with those little PS bricks that Ed and bkenobi pointed out. That looks a lot safer. I can use standard twist nuts for the connections, as is typical for that kind of wiring. Then, the thin wires for the leds only carry 12v. |

Theres probably a hack to adjust the current on the brick. |

Oh, I was planning on resistors for the LEDs, just like hooking em up to an LEDWiz. No worries there. |
