Here is clarification for you on what i'm actually doing.
I have a cold cathode light that runs off 120VAC, i have a inverter that
converts 12VDC to the neccessary 120VAC.. i have an series of LED's that
need DC.. so i was thinking of running the positive line for the DC power to
the LED's then just hook the ground of the LED segment to the same ground as
the return to the inverter.

Electrically it'll probably work (if the inverter has an isolated output)
but it's quite possibly unsafe. where is this being installed?
