How many amps of 12V power -- do you plan to use a computer system or go directly to house current ? If using a computer and you have an adequate PSU you could just use a 12V molex plug to power it - If going direct to wall outlet you'll want a 12V AC adapter that has sufficient Amperage rating similar to these :

As long as they do not need more than 24Watts ( Watts = Amps x Voltage so 12V 2 Amp adapter like that shown will run up to 24W of LED lights.
