So in theory, you could DC-DC convert 12V to whatever battery voltage the power controller uses.
Relay is mechanical, since we are trying to play with pulse width modulation on the RGB lights, relay has a limit of how fast you can turn the light on and off. BTW, in case you worry about whether the solenoid channel can power the LED lights, each solenoid channel can source up to 0.75A current, an LED light strip generally consumes about 100mA.

I'm sure these can be made to run off 12V, My question is are they FRC legal since they generate high voltage internally? I have the same question about neon light strips.
