So found a bunch of wall wart psu's that work fine with existing lights -lights run for hours directly off battery, no excess heat etc. Looking at battery after with CA 3 and everything looks fine. Assuming that best way to do permanent hook up is to splice ac cord directly into Anderson coming from battery? Are there other options? Are there any cautions against running too many lights off my 48v battery? (I typically run 2 x 3.8v and 1 x 8.4v lights drawing between 1 - 2 amps through the winter, running about 1.5 hours per day max).

On all my packs (even a ping) I have decent sized balance wires installed so I can pull any voltage needed for my varying led projects, horns alarms etc.
I then have to use a hobby charger to boost back up the block of cells that will get behind if you use a basic bms while charging.
I have a 16s battery which I balance charge in 2 halves. So to make it less messing around I can also use a those dc-dc blue box converter things from ebay. On 8 cells I can gain any voltage i want up from 3v up to 80vish.
