How is it that LED Clusters of over 20 LEDs are powered by a measly 12V supply? Does it involve some kind of voltage amplifier?
 
I doubt it and the word you're looking for is a boost converter, not a voltage amplifier which would need a higher voltage than 12V in the first place.

The probably just connect the LEDs in many different strings, for example for 20 red LEDs, four strings of five could be used.
