How to Connect RGB LED Strip Light or Light Bar to Power Source

Here are instructions for how to connect our RGB LED Strip Lights and Light Bars to a 12V DC adapter.  (“RGB” stands for “red green blue”, and is a short way of saying “full color,” “color-changing,” and “multi-color.”) The accessory that’s connecting the bar to the Wiser RGB Color Controller is the RGB LED Light Bar Splice Cable, which has a connector unique to our RGB light bars at one end, and four wires at the other: red, green, blue, and a common positive, for powering the bar. The connector that hooks our RGB Strip Lighting up to a color controller is called the Multi-Color RGB LED Flexible Light EZ Connector. (Please note that, at step 4 of these instructions, where you are inserting the strip into the EZ connector, the polarity of the strip must match the polarity of the connector. In other words, plus to plus and minus to minus. If you slide the strip into the connector and it does not light up, simply use the other end, as the polarities didn’t match.)

If the strip is securely connected but does not light up, try connecting the other end, as the + and – of the strip must match that of the connector.
