Hi, anyone use these cheapo chinese led strip lights for supplemental lighting?

I plan on getting some 5630 Blue strip lights but wanted to add some purple to it too but I can only find Purple in 5050. Does anyone know if it's possible to interconnect the two types to run off one power supply?

LED Power Draw
3528 LED 20-30 mA @ 2.8-3.4 Volts
5050 LED 60 mA @ 2.8-3.4 Volts
5630 LED 150 mA @ 2.8-3.4 Volts
 
Why not... ;)
They both are usually (there are RARE exceptions) driven constant voltage /w current control via on strip resistors.
I'd suggest running them parallel off the ps to cut down on the electrical path length..
