Ok guys long story short, I have an antique wall sconce, that I am rewiring, it has a standard 120vac bulb socket on top, and it has a beautiful uranium milk glass decorative glass piece that hangs underneath. I want it to look as original as possible, except, I want to drop UV LEDS, down inside the milk glass piece so it glows green from the inside. For those that don’t know, uranium glass glows bright green when hit with UV light. How can I power these LED bulbs, I have either individual 5mm led, or I have UV smd strips? Obviously the leds run on dc, the lamp is AC, and the fixture is REALLY SMALL. I don’t have any room for even a small ac/dc converter. I even cut down an apple USB power block, and really had no room to mount the circuit board. Is there a way, in such confined space, that I can somehow power these LEDS off AC POWER, or what’s the smallest amount of components, I could use to complete this task? I cannot find any LED modules or anything that can accept AC directly. It would need to convert 120VAC to a 5-6VDC? I just have no idea, how to do it. I will post pics to give an idea of what I’m talking about, thanks in advance
