I am wishing to build a unique centerpiece for my sister's wedding, using a Velleman Kit (**broken link removed**) but instead of driving the on board LEDs I wish to drive a different kind of LED, which will be more visually appealing (Flexible LED Strips).
If I was to use a relay, I would put it in place of the LEDs (LD1-LD4), and use it to drive the other LEDs with their own power supply. I have not metered the circuit yet to see if there is enough current to trip a relay, but regardless I want this to be a silent thing, as a centerpiece, and I do not want it clicking all night long.
I am not an EE by trade, but am very skilled at electrocuting myself, I say it in jest, but it is mostly true.
Any assistance that can be rendered would be greatly appreciated, as my mother wants me to commit to a final design, without a proper prototype.
