I'm going to be building a new canopy for my tank and I want to put some moon lights on it. I've looked and the prices for buying them commercially seem really ridiculous considering that I can buy a "super bright" LED for like a dollar at a store nearby. I know that the LEDs I would use are 5 volt LEDs. Does that mean that all I need is one of those multi-use AC adapters you can buy at like Wal-Mart? Basically, just set it to 5 volts, cut the connector off the end and solder it to the LED(s)?
Or do I need to do something more involved like using a resistor to control the current? I'm a computer science major, not an electrical engineering major. I'm an electrical retard.
