If I am thinking correctly this would be legal and fused at 20A.

P.S. Our team bought one of these flex strips as well. I like the fact that you can cut the bars in sections and just add wires to increase number of strips you have.

We wanted to control the color in the RGB spectrum.

This might give you an idea.

LED Control.vi

By the way, we never got to testing it today. We got busy doing other stuff, and this is very low priority.
