Well, James Powell was kind enough to send me a transformer out of his
spares(1), and I hooked it up this weekend as a test. Long and short of it:
the lights are significantly brighter with the transformer.
Which is cool, because now I don't have to turn the (room) lights out when I'm
showing off my castle. ;) I still haven't checked to see how it turns out in
pictures, though.
