Like LTG said, 5v will be the one. You're issue with running that many post lights will be the wiring.
It's a mess trying to run it all back to the power supply, look into one or two terminal blocks.

A few bulbs aren't a problem except the star post lights are 4 LEDs each and x15 will definitely tax the system.
I can't speak for every machine, but my HS2 Getaway started popping fuses after 6 star posts.
The added bonus of an external power supply is the adjustable pot can help dial-in the brightness.
