Yes you can and they're very power efficient, just be sure to have a big enough fixed resisitor in series with a potentiometer to vary brightness so you don't exceed their maximum operating current. If you are not sure how to work this out, post the details of the LEDS, ie the exact part number and the voltage of your power supply and we can help you select the correct potentiometer and current limiting resistor.
