Re: Help with basic LEDs
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the LEDs would be considered a Custom Circuit under R40.

Custom Circuits can connect directly to the PD board, protected by a snap action breaker (up to 40A - likely way more than you need for LEDs) per R46.
Wired in this manner the LEDs could not be turned on/off.

If you wanted to turn them on/off, you're allowed to connect custom circuits to any device listed in Table 4-4. The Spike Relay module would likely be your best bet IMO.
