    Thanks it is very helpful. But can I just run a normal LED strip of the CCFL power ports or do I have to use a voltage regulator?

    The voltage has to be regulated so the LED's are not over driven which will burn them out. Also the current needs to be around 20 mA per LED, but check on the ones you choose.
