Default AC - DC adapter

If you are worried, then get an lm317 three terminal regulator and a

one of those beefier usb ones.
It might get a bit warm. Seems odd to me if its AC though, as leds are most
definitely DC.

Not worth the effort for such low power. Dropping 0.6v across a cheap
silicon diode or two in series will bring a 5v supply down to 4v.
