re: design notes 

@rey I see! that's a pretty common arrangement for single LEDs but we've not seen it for strips before

i'll need two more bits of information then:
- Does the LED strip have built-in current limiting (if you're supposed to drive it at like 12 V or 5 V or something that's a yes) or do you need to add a resistor externally?
- What voltage and current does the LED strip run at? For max brightness, anyway; you can always run at a lower current for lower brightness

Actually if you can give us the datasheet for it that'd be even better, if you have one (a lot of stuff like this just comes from ebay or aliexpress or something with no datasheet though)
