The problem with your wiring is that you're using the ground line from your ac as a neutral. If you have good ground and wiring, it's not a functional problem (as you've found), but if not, you've now put up to 120V on that line. Worst case scenario, you kill someone or burn your house down...

Kinda. Really, it's the resistance of the LEDs that should keep you in spec. LEDs operate on a voltage/current curve. You'll usually find that the "rated" voltage is right before the current curves up and off the charts. They'll operate anywhere on that curve above the bias voltage, but the...
