kornchex....Whatever you do, don't run any lightweight wires [like telephone wires ] off a regular 110-120 volt household socket..This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. High risk of shock, rapid excess heat, and FIRE ! <br />Best to have no 110-120v power in your panel anywhere, except main plug-in cords for power packs.Too dangerous, and the wire you need is too large...[the absolute minimum is lamp cord size. ] <br />You can get white or colored bulbs at a hobby shop, or at Radio Shack that are 12 volts, that will run off your AC terminals, or the fixed DC terminals of your power pack.See if you can return those high voltage lights. <br />Happy New Year & best regards / Mike
