I must say, Thank you stan for all the information you provided! you taught me almost a semester worth of information at my college. So Change of plans, Heres my Idea, this is for the constant LED illumination (32 in the subway)
I get any sort of DC 5V or 12V wall adapter laying around my house, Strip the wires, Screw them into the LM2596 (The one I see on ebay has a built in voltimeter) I also noticed it has a USB port..Any reason to why it has it?

After wards I set the volts to say 3.2V output, and then from the output of LM2596 I just add the wires to the output and simply do the parallel set up I was talking about, and since its already at 3.2v, I wont have to use any resistors on it.
I dont think ive asked this, But I do plan on using DCS in the future, But whats the point of getting an inductor?
As for the LED Strips, Ill look further into the thread you have provided me.
Thanks again for all your help Stan, Once I recieve my LEDs and resistors I ordered Ill post some pictures here if I get them working correctly.
