I might suggest that you can add a potentiometer in addition to a current limiting resistor to allow you to vary the brightness. You can get one with a switch as well. Although, I have a couple of 5 amp variable supplies (3-12 VDC) with off switch and digital readout that I use for all my interior lighting. Some are incandescent, some LED. Very cheap supply, around $15 at Amazon and amazingly small for a five amp supply.
Power supply
I had a bunch of 12 volt incandescent bulbs that I'm running out of, also have an old LED flashlight with over two dozen white LED's that I removed the LED's and added wires and a current limit resistor to. Got the flashlight for free from Harbor Freight, it's just a bit tricky soldering to those very short leads, but hey, free is good, just need to remember polarity.
