Adalight - power-supply regulation

Postby basm4 » Wed Nov 14, 2012 5:47 pm

Howdy there folks,

I was recently gifted the Kit for the adalight ambient lighting system and while I have everything working, I am concerned about the unregulated nature of the wall wart. Does anyone have any previous exp or opinions of whether or not I can expect to have my LEDs fried by a power fluctuation from the provided wart? If so, what should i look into for a regulated power supply?

will something light this be best:
