Controlling 12V lights via arduino
We have a set of these 12V LED light strips that we'd like to control using a (5V) arduino.

With these LEDs each color (RGB) is a ground, and there's one lead for 12V voltage.
I'm assuming that the LEDs would go straight to PDB or through a relay (either way 12V), and then have power adjusted by the arduino. How can we control these LEDs, in a manner similar to this, using an arduino or similar device?
