I'm looking at getting LED lights for my coind door.
I'm not really good at saudering stuff (never done it) and wires to power just scare me! I was wondering if there are LED lights that come on a normal power chord (like one that plugs into a wall). If so, I could just plug into my smartstrip and it would work that was and be super easy to set up! Does anyone know if this exists?
Thanks!

Would Christmas lights work? Anyone done this before? Seems like it'd be easier to hook up through a smartstrip than do all the wiring the way others do it.

Seems a bit overkill for just two little lights.

Thats what I was thinking, but I wanted just a plug for just 2 little lights to plug into the smartstrip, just because its easy.

May I suggest led's used for computer case mod kits? They sell them at Newegg and Tiger Direct online and Micro Center locally. They just plug into an extra molex on your pc's power supply and is just as easy as plugging in a cord to an outlet.

That's an awesome idea! I didn't think of that! I'll try that one out.
Thanks!
UPDATE: I ended up doing this solution and it worked like a champ. If anyone would like I can post the ones I bought, just ask. Thanks!
