Does it come with installation instructions? Will it work for low voltage ribbon lights?

Not if they are DC strip lights. The unit is AC input and output. Even though it does not state on this page what the output is, I've ordered one. It is AC output and will NOT work with DC lights (at least without flicker). I'm not an electrician, but DC lights strips should have an AC to DC transformer.

This is just an LED strip with a +/- lead on it. You should probably wire through a fused circuit that gets power when you want it to. Some 12V accessories have power all of the time, some with key, etc... I have mine wired through the interior lights circuit so they come on with them. I made sure it was a fused circuit because I had one of these short out and melt wires.

I would assume you probably can wire a dimmer type of a switch to it that will work with the low-voltage lighting. The unit itself just has a light sensor which allows your low-voltage lights to come on and turn off automatically. If you purchase a dimmer switch, make sure it's for low-voltage outdoor lighting and is weather resistant if it is exposed to the outdoors. Also you may want to contact the manufacturer and ask them if a dimmer switch is something that would be safe to wire to the unit. Hope this helps. Good luck, Yuri

needs lightbulb and needs wiring for hanging....there was white ribbon I believe included but we used fish line

This will only work with mono colored Led strips. It will work with power adapters with 12V adapters needed for most led strips with a max of 12A.

It will work with ALL 12v low voltage lights (like Malibu). I've used these to build my own low voltage lights using 1/2" copper tubing and plumbing connectors and glass "shredded cheese" shakers (inverted of course - so they screw on and off) bought from dollar stores and/or Walmart. They make great lights.

Yes, it is a low voltage system. The power supply converts 120 vac to 12 vdc. You need to supply at least one amp to power up to 8 lighting strips (21 led per strip), 1.5 amps for up to 12 strips, etc. You could just purchase the lighting strips and interconnect cables rather than the whole system that includes the power supply. The strips mount with attached mounting tape and you could direct solder 2-conductor wire between lighting strips rather than purchase the interconnect cables, I did.

If I am not mistaken (from my experience), it came w/ a transformer to make the light run on 240V. If you want to hard wire it, make sure you don't cut 'that thing' away

Yes it does.. the black wire is for tail lights, green wire for brake and turn signal, white wire is the ground.. there are no instructions with it. When mounted they are about 3/4 inch thick.. close as flush mount as your gonna get. there are two screw holes in the fixture to mount. no screws provided.. I am impressed with them and are much brighter than the stock lights on our toy hauler. They are also sealed and waterproof.

Suggestion for you: Buy rope lights that are 12 Volt, then you can use the voltage reducer.

It is a ribbon of LEDs in a flexible silicone strip. I believe the length I bought was about 15 ft. It is about 1/2 inch wide and 3/16 inch thick. They work great.

No, I did not receive formal instructions, but I followed normal wiring color codes for hooking up electronics and it worked just fine. The controller (small rectangle plastic enclosure titled "HS-LED CONTROLLER"): I connected the red & black wires to power and ground as follows: The "red" to 12 volt positive and the "black" to 12 volt negative (or "ground"). Then I connected the individual "3-light" light assembly's to one of the controller's connectors, and pressed the round "ON/OFF" button (the white "POWER" light should illuminate) then I pressed the "A" oval button to verify that the light bank worked (multiple blinks then pause and repeats itself), and then I pressed the "B" & "C" oval buttons to ensure the controller worked as it should. Then I checked each of the other connectors to ensure they worked. I then installed the lights and controller into my vehicle and all worked as expected.

We used it for a closet light that we wanted to come on when the door is opened. It has a built in low voltage transformer so you can install low voltage cable to the door frame and install a magnetic relay/switch

My box did not have 90-240 V and the light had only two wires. I used it with 12v DC system and it works well

inline resistors most likely. im not really sure i havent removed the plastic wrap to examin it. all i know is it works with lights that use this power pack

Yes it will work. I did not attach mine with double stick tape as other did but if you attach it place it where the Capacitor is not directly next to the light bulb on the light kit.

It depends on which LED ribbon strip you are using. The ribbon I have been using is 24watts per 5m, so I can get 6 rolls on it, but not more than 2 5m rolls on a single run.
