Is that safe to use with the building given the extra 1/2 volt?  And should the output be DC or AC?

 

BTW, is Menard's a regional version of Home Depot/Lowe's.  Just curious,  None in this area (Pittsburgh)

 

Thanks.

Stick a single diode in series with the hot and you'll get about 4.3 going to the accessory. If you want to go the "roll your own" route, there are several sellers on eBay that sell variable output (0-15/0-32) DC power supplies. Just hit "voltage regulators" in the eBay search.
