What is the correct wiring for the lamp? The instructions are cryptic to say the least. From the importer (LEDWholesalers): Blue wire of floodlight to Neutral (usually white wire) Brown wire of floodlight to Live/Hot (usually black wire) Green/Yellow...

Ground - green/yellow, Live - Brown, Neutral - Blue. This is an international standard that the USA does not use. source: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060929120608AACS38T

Hey Barry.....Happy Thanksgiving,,,,,,,Welcome to the world of foreign made LED lighting. The Green with stripes is the ground and the other 2 are your hot wires. Some day the rest of the world will standardize the colors. It's a great light........wait till you order the 30 watt one and you light up your neighborhood,,,,lol.

I don't know and mine isn't easy to get to. I think it is smaller than an outdoor flood light however. I like it but wish it were brighter.

Yes you should be able to use those flood light bulbs , mine is outside, so I use outdoor bulbs only, but whether it is in or out you should be fine.

I don't recall the make/model of lights we use on ours.But the manual I have says this for Bulbs: max 150 watt PAR or quartz flood lamps, PL fluorescent flood with low temp. start

These lamps come with no wiring, so you'll have to find fog lamp wiring kit or you could use a HID Relay kit. They do not come with HID bulbs, so you'll need a complete H3 HID Kit if you want to head down that route. I did that, though I eventually switched to just using H3 LED Samsung bulbs, way less wattage and a crisper white color with no blue whatsoever. Also using LED's you won't need a really, just tap into a source for positive (such as your low beams) and ground your negative wiring to a frame bolt.

It's confusing from the pictures, but it is a plug in. I wouldn't wire into existing electrical lines unless you know what you're doing. Incidentally - we LOVE this lamp. We use it over our baby changing table so it's easy to adjust the brightness if we're doing a night change.

Hi, mine came as black, works great. I also just ordered this light, it came in the color in the picture. Seems well put together. A bit cheaper. LEDwholesalers 10-Watt LED Waterpoof Outdoor Security Floodlight 100-240VAC, Warm White, 3701WW

I do not remember the color of the fixture wires but they are usually white and black, blue or red. White goes to white. Black, blue, or red goes to black coming in from main box. Green goes to ground either a green wire or usually bare wire. Please becareful. If this does not help call a pro. Good luck

only comes with the wire that is attached to each individual light. You have to get the low voltage wire (cut to the desired length you need to go through your garden) separately at Home Depot or similar store. The employee there should be able to help you choose the correct wire. You will need to measure where you want it to go in order to tell him how much you need. Hope this helps. Once you get them connected and working you'll love them. I do. I've had mine for years. You'll need an electrician to connect them to the transformer or someone that knows how to do it. Enjoy!

I just copied down the instructions inside the lamp and took the information to Home Depot with me. They gave me the right bulb. It's worked ever since. It says "E17 MAX 25W Type R Lamp." It's a very small bulb in the shape of a flood light bulb. The low wattage works out ok if you are focusing the light on a small workspace.

Yes you do, it is imperative that you follow the instructions as the wiring colors do not follow the standard US convention. The lamps both connect to the provided wiring harness and the positive connects through a relay, then a 15 Amp fuse, then to the positive bus or battery terminal. You must use a fuse, if not a short will cause the wire to catch on fire. The wiring harness is rated for (2) 55W lamps, do not increase the value without buying an aftermarket wiring harness rated for anything higher.Here is a link to the instructions http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/hla-h12891001.pdf Yes you do, it is imperative that you follow the instructions as the wiring colors do not follow the standard US convention.

The wiring was simple. Install the lights and install the signal board. But make sure you have a good voltage supplying to the light. Or else you will have problem changing its colors and getting it work properly. Trust me I had this going. Make sure your wiring is good. And you getting good voltage.

GoingBroke said however they follow the european standard brown (black), and blue (white). the yellow grn stripe is our earth gnd.I wired mine up following this to a proto cell and worked fine.if you are putting it on a 3 prong plug you should have a gold, silver and green screw. So Brown to gold, blue to silver and yellow/green to green.Brown (black) is hot, and blue (white) is neutral and the yellow grn stripe is our earth gnd.

You shouldnt need the yellow or green wires at all, unless you want to hook the light bar up to your turn signals. You just want to hook it up so you can see all the cool stuff it does right? Just run red wire to positive battery terminal and black wire to negative battery terminal. It should come right on. Use A to turn it on and off, C to change colors, D to change speed and B to change pattern. This light is very cool I promise. Its the best one of the 3 that i have had so far.

In America, answers stating that yellow/green stripe is "ground" are correct (green wire in USA). Regarding the other two wires (brown and blue), even though it's AC and to remain standardized, the "brown" wire is considered "hot" (Black wire in USA), and the "blue" wire is considered "neutral" (white wire in USA). Thus, "green/yellow" wire connects to USA "green", "brown" wire connects to USA "black", and "blue" wire connects to USA "white". If you're confused, my apologies...just Wikipedia it...Wiki even has pictures!!! To summarize, green/yellow to GREEN, brown to BLACK, and blue to WHITE. Just a footnote,the other connection will work....it's just not "standard".
