Let me know what you need. I have a ton of that stuff. I can mail it to you.
I think that the LED strips that I get work on 5V-36V. I use them all over the place. Under counters, inside cabinets etc. They work great for your porch light. Just stick them under your awning cover and cover them with clear packing tape (you can't even see the tape). Because they are under the awning cover, they are protected from the Sun and the tape will never yellow (well...... never is a long time
) Wire it into your porch light switch.
These LEDs claim to draw 20W for a 65' string. Supposedly, they draw about .3W per foot. If you use 3' of LEDs in your lamp that would draw about 1 watt per hour.
