Hmmm... how are you driving the led strips? What voltage do they require?(By the way, you do know the difference between mAh and mA, don't you?)
I'm driving the LED strips through MOSFETs (not sure of the exact model number right now but it is similar to the design of an RGB LIGHT strip driver, except I have 4 channels instead of 3). They require 12v. Yes, I know the difference. I'm at work and my phone auto filled mah when it should have been ma for the current draw on the circuit.
