AC Line voltage powered LEDs?
gryhnd:
How about scavenging the inline psu from a trashed set of LED lights. The ones I tossed recently had a pretty thin one. Maybe about 2" long, 3/4" around.

They also have a 12v version for the same price.

@Ed and bkenobi
That's exactly what I was looking for. I have a few 5v bricks, but they're all too big to fit. Those units look like they'd fit quite nicely.
@Haruma
Dude, now that ain't funny ;)
@gryhnd
I was thinking that same thing, but I don't have any lying around. However, seems like that cirrcuit that BobA posted is likely what's going on with those led xmas lights.
In the end, I picked up several of those ac->12v bricks to play with, they're cheap enough that even if they don't work for this, I can find something to do with em!
Thanks for all the pointers!
