AC Line voltage powered LEDs?
HaRuMaN:
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.

You still may need to tweak things -- 330ma is heavy for small LEDs, you might need a 1W or multiple LEDs, or some kind of limiting resistor still. Theres probably a hack to adjust the current on the brick.
drventure:
Oh, I was planning on resistors for the LEDs, just like hooking em up to an LEDWiz. No worries there.

It's very safe, if you do it right :)
