Thanks for posting pics and amp consumption Mr. Squirrel.

I assume from your post, that if one cuts a strip, say to 5 LED's,
they still operate at 12V?  (the LED "units" are wired parallel along
strip)?

Am considering adding some and may even build a dimmer though I
imagine a dimmer box is not cost prohibitive already built.   ;)
