That depends, some products actually need a high voltage module to turn them on. This would come under the custom circuit rules and for obvious reasons would be looked at very carefully from a safety standpoint.

Some of yo on Newton may have noticed that WildStang finally mounted it's LED strings at Champs again this year. What you may not know is that several different feedback schemes were programmed into the string. In addition to sound controlled lighting, there were other driver feedback patterns included as well. Mentors and students are in the process of writing up the system to provide to the First community. Please be patient, they are shooting for IRI at the latest.
