Anyone know of any LED lights that I can buy?

Anything electric, AC or DC

Looks like an LED weekend. After several weeks of looking for a "Barn" appropriate light fixture I found this little LED light at (WHERE ELSE) Goodwill for $1.99. Thought it looked like a miniture security light. Takes 4 aa batteries. A nice soft no glare blue wash of light. Just enough to see without being blinding I am happy with it. It is nice to know about the multi voltage transformer may have to look around for one to power the light without the batteries.

get a few of those stick on LED puck lights that run on AAA batteries and put them under the cabinets. They are pretty cheap. You could probably convert them to your 12v system pretty easy too, but I suspect you will only need to replace the batteries once a year. I have a pair that I have used in a tent, put batteries in them 2 years ago, they still the same ones in them. If you put them on velcro, they make handy flashlights too.

LED's ya gotta love them. I converted all of the Mega-Mini #1 lights to LED and found at Harbor Freight a solar powered lantern. This can also be plunged into 110 or 12V to recharge.
MM #7 will have marine lights built to take a G4 bulb which will get LED bulbs (have them sitting on the desk). The reading lights came with LED bulbs.
