is it 12V?
if all else fails, maybe stick a diode in series and drop the voltage. voltage can kill lights
A diode is a just a "one way valve". You'd need to use a resistor to lower the voltage.
Not true.
You're going to have to explain that comment. The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction. A resistor is a electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors may be used to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, may act to lower voltage levels within circuits. Since you commented that what I said was untrue, please enlighten me so I may be no longer in error. I guess I've been using resistors and diodes incorrectly for 40 some years now.
