These are accessories for LED Lighting in RVs and Boats we have found to be useful: voltage-regulator, PWM dimmer, 12-volt power supplies.

Maybe they will fit your needs as well.

PWM.G:
Dimmer and ON/OFF Control

This inline circuit dims your LEDs. Tap the control wires together for the PWM.G to turn power ON or OFF, or hold together to vary the power pulse width modulation (PWM) from 20% to 100% and back to dim the LEDs. Release when the desired level is reached.

The module handles up to 10-amps of 12-volt DC and comes with adhesive backing. 

NOTE: this module interrupts the ground connection in the PWM circuitry. It can only be used in applications where both the ground and +12v wiring are directly available.

The PWM.G can be used for fLEDescents inside a fluorescent fixture that has an onboard power switch. The power and ground wires are routed from the house circuits to the fLEDescent panels. The control wires are routed to the fixture switch.

In this configuration, toggle the switch ON then OFF to change the state of the light. Turn the switch ON and the dimming circuitry becomes active and changes the light level from 100% to about 20% and then back over about 10 seconds. Turn the switch OFF when the desired level of lighting is reached.

VR12-3A Inline Voltage Regulator: This in-line 12-volt, 3amp regulator keeps the 12-volt line voltage to LED appliances in an operating range that will not damage the LEDs, even while working with resistive and electronic dimmers. It comes with built-in polarity, thermal, and short circuit protection. It has double-stick adhesive tape on the back for mounting on a heat-sink surface.

Regulated Power: The PS0-1.2A power supply accessory provides 1.5 watts of regulated 12-volt power for LightBlasters' LightStrips and other LED appliances. It converts 120vac to 12vdc, providing up to 1.2 amps. It plugs into standard 15-amp AC wall receptacle with a 6 foot pigtail providing the ground and +12v.

The key issue is voltage regulation. certain LED devices, like the LightStrips, can be damaged by the voltage variations found in some RVs. Using a regulated supply protects them from damage.

This power supply can also be used in a residential home to service up to LED clusters up to 15 watts.

PS1, 25W to 150W Power Supplies:
The PS1 series of industrial regulated 12-volt power supplies are designed to be connected directly to the 120VAC wiring behind the wall. Each acts as a power center for a cluster of 12-volt appliances. They are recommended if you want to install LED lighting in domestic housing.

The PS1-xx power supplies are all UL approved.

Care should be taken to install appropriate 12-volt wiring between the power supply and the 12-volt appliances. Speaker wire is often sufficient, but watch the AWG gauge of the wire you are using.

The higher the AWG gauge number of the wire, the smaller it is and the fewer amps it can carry without overheating. The table below shows the output of each power supply and the maximum AWG gauge number wire to use if ALL the current is put through that wire, and assuming that wire run is less than 10 feet. Go to a smaller gauge number when in doubt just to be sure.

The table also shows the physical sizes of the power supplies.
