Hi, Could i use this if the colors of wires that are connected from the bulb are as follows? 2 blue 1 white 1 black How do you think should i connect this? Thanks a lot!

You appear to have a three way bulb. This in not designed for a three way bulb. It is for an halogen "pencil" bulb.

I would suspect that the extra wire continues on to the next light fixture....black should be negative (ground) and white should be positive..if you had old fixture that worked or a volt meter to test if you actually have power.. maybe a problem like a fuse or bad connection in the wiring.on the old light bulbs base the center post is positive and the base is negative.. Led's are polarity sensitive it wont work if the wires are switched backwards.. but that wont hurt it.. just switch wires around. my wires were white and black.. but backwards white(neg) black (pos).... I traced the wire back a ways and found someone way in the past had done a repair ignoring wire color..

Hi Ian, I haven't tried using another bulb with it. I think as long as you use the same type I don't see any reason why it would not work.

My light just had brown (brown/red) and blue. I used brown/red for positive (red) and blue for negative (closest to black of options provided). It works. I didn't have yellow w/green stripe. Green is usually a ground, but don't know why there would be one on a 12v DC device.

Question was about a 3-way SWITCH (where two different wall switches control the socket), not 3-way socket. Yes, this bulb will work fine in a 3-way switch arrangement.

The color of each wire is to make replacement simple. I always make a Diagram first before removing the original wiring.You can't always follow by color of wires

This is for a specific socket with 4 pins. There are similar bulbs with 2 pins - but there is a specific 2 pin socket that matches the bulb in this case as well.

Evidently for my bulb basket and wires, it makes a difference which wire goes to nut and which is used for the screw. if I don't have the right wire the screw will not work. So for me it takes me twice as long to install the bulb cause I put wires on and then had to take the wires off, switch them and put them back on and then the screw worked. It also worked better to put the wire with screw on first, then the one with the nut.Also spent an extra minutes with turning tv on, then off, then unplug, plug in turn on, turn off. Finally figured out the tv was waiting for us to put the door back in. Who knew that the tv could tell if the door was on or not????

I think you can use it WW I believe just refers to "warm white" as opposed to "white" which is more bluish .... hook the 5 leads up normally R,G,B, +5 and W and you can control infinite RGB colors or have the plane Warm White on only. What you cannot do is to have the RGB AND the Warm White on at the same time.

You should have a black and a red. That go's positive and negative. The other wire (yellow or red) should go to your switch.

This one worked great for me, just follow the instruction on how to wire it up. Your present lamp may be wired a different way, I mean white orred or black wires may go different places, do as the instructions say and put the wires with the right ones and it will work perfect.

Hello, I do apologize that your tech is giving you that information. That bulb hooks up only one way with the same connection. Search online you'll find same bulb part number for driver and passenger side, hope this helps. Also if I may give you a tip, rule of thumb when replacing headlight bulbs recommend replace both bulbs at the same time. The older bulb will show a slightly different color discoloration.Thanks,SV

Don't know how to work with 2 wires. This switch took three wires: blue for load, black for hot line, and white for neutral line. You need to have three wires to make it work.

Dear customer:Thanks for your email! This dimmer is works for single color strip light, two of wires(black and red) hook up with input and the other wires (red and green) work with output. Based on your description, i assume it supposed to be the right switch you are looking for. If you have any other question, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you!

No you have to use all the wires.Unlike your old ballast when one light went out they both did.This ballast has separate wires for each lamp.Look on the ballast label for the diagram that tells what colored wires go to one tube and what colors for the other.You'll have to clip the wires on one end of the lamp fixture where the two sockets are joined together.TIP: Make sure you leave a generous length of wire coming from the sockets to work with.

The warm white LED uses the same circuit board as the RGB(Red Green Blue). Each physical LED has three LED's inside, so one is connected to the red lead and one is connected to the green lead and the last is connect to the blue lead. So the - power connects to the RGB and + connects to the last or fourth lead. that should be labled +12. If you wanted to change the light output you could only connect to one or two of the RGB pads on the circuit strip.

This unit has three wires, the black is the positive wire from power supply, red is positive to light, white is negative from supply to unit and to light by way of spliced wire to light from white wire. The light will still have only two wires to it. I hope this helps!
