    I have ordered a few extra colored leds to tune wit, and I plan to replace a few of my royal blues with them. I would like to use the blues as moonlights, and as they obviously do not need to be anywhere near full power is there a way tonrun them off of just a wall wort, without adding another drive without burning them out.
    I would like to run 6 diodes at about 10-20% power seems about right

    The only downfall to your idea is finding a driver that will operate @ 10%. Currently my driver will only turn on @ 19+%.

    Save some $ and purchase the LED Mood Kit from Rapid, they look amazing!
