Our team has 2 sets of LED strips (one red and one blue) that we would like to light up depending on what team we are on. The downside of these lights is that they are made for a 12v power source and not for a 5V, so would it be illegal or ill-advised to take the lights and wire them directly into one of the outputs on the solenoid breakout board and be able to trigger them by turning a solenoid on or off in code?
