I had look at the light and it appears to be made to connect directly to the 12 volt system of an automobile. If so it should work with the power supply that you ordered. The light is rated 12 volts at 3.5 watts and the power supply is rated 12 volts and up to 12 watts. This combination should work as planned.
I used 20 55,000 mcd, 8,000K LED's in this project and am verry happy with the outcome. I can actually use the machine in the dark and see what I'm doing. The 8,000K color temp. does not appear that blue in this application. Perhaps it is because I am not pushing the limits of the LED's.

Thank you for your original posting Joe! :beer:
That has stayed in the back of my mind all this time, until I actually got around to doing something about it...... :thumbup:

Now when we look at your purchase, it states a color temperature of 8000 Kelvins. Well, that is pretty bluish light. It looks cool (at least according to some persons) as a daytime running light on a car, but I seriously doubt that you'd like it as a worklight. Sorry David.

The light that comes in thru a North facing window is in the 7000 to 8000K on a bright sunny day. I cannot imagine a better light for laying out or other close work.

You mentioned earlier that perhaps your LEDs didn't look too bluish, Joe, because you weren't pushing them to the limit. The same may be true yours, David, if you run them on 12v. They are intended for use on a car, and though car electrics are often referred to as 12v, a fully charged car battery puts out 13.8v.
I suppose a regulated 12v PSU might help in this respect.
