Wes,

Not exactly what you're thinking of, but look at the various LED 
lighting products from this company that's been exhibiting at ham 
conventions out here on the coast for several years. 
http://www.wiredco.com/  Click on the LED lighting page.

Their stuff mostly runs on LV DC, with regulation built-in. They're 
connectorized at each end so that it's easy to wire them end to end, 
with the 12V passed through. You would have to build enclosures, but you 
could drive them with a suitable linear supply. I'm lighting my ham 
shack with four LED strips that are each about 18-in long, drawing about 
1A from the 12V bus in the shack.

Stay away from their connectors and adapters, which are junk.

73, Jim K9YC
