I use them for all sorts of projects now and again since I have so many left over from what ever project I bought them for. Like the example auction said, they came with resistors so they can be used with higher voltage but if you simply wire them in series this also allows them to be used with higher voltage and eliminates the need for resistors which heat up quite a bit. By the way, you can of course find them in all colors on eBay as well. Good luck!
