Ironhorse - I think I bought that same power supply and voltage indicators. As it turns out I do not need them as yet. I use the 5 volt power supply from Miller Engineering for my signs and the 12 v supply from the strip lights. Works fine so far.

ScoutingDad,

Buying the LEDs strips with the plug-in adaptor as a complete package is great advice -- and there is no work involved. Dimmer capability is a major plus as well. I went the other route so I can power as much as I want.

I also made a similar transformer at 4.5 volts (again, thanks to all the tech people on this forum) to power all of my Miller Engineering signs and Menards buildings. It works great. No more multiple cords and no more power strips.
