Here is what you need:

They are driving the RGB LED strip from the 24V supply. If you can't find a 24V strip then you could run a 12V strip (which I believe is more common) by adding a small 12V power supply, or hacking on a 12V regulator.

Make sure the RGB LED strip is Common Anode type.

This is all assuming that the firmware is actively trying to talk to the U15 driver, my guess is that it is... unless Qidi purposefully disabled it in the code.

I may eventually try to do this mode. If I do I'll report back my results.
You may be able to use one of these for the voltage reduction.
