5v power source?

USB adaptors are normally around 2Amps max. https://www.amazon.com/Aweking-Waterproof-Converter-Regulator-Transformer/dp/B06WWBDW31/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=DC%2FDC+12V+Step+Down+to+5V+10A+50W+Voltage+Buck+Converter&qid=1632403462&s=electronics&sr=1-2 But, why not just use 12 volt LEDs?

Oh...

I'm more of the "if it doesn't make it go faster, handle batter or last longer, it's a waste of time and money" type. (OK, I did waste a bundle on a 7" headlight...)
