If you plan on putting these lights outdoor, you should absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use the standard 120V transformer. Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. 1/3 the cost of buying the transformers and a timer to control it (or worst, trying to find an outlet for the transformer). You can get it from Amazon. 72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC A demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzarYlOnPc?

HI... it doesn't look like you can replace the LEDs. The lighting strip is part of the overall circuit assembly.

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.

Directions say must be to power supply but I don't see why couldn't be cut and spliced between two sets of light strips.

About any of the led strip supplies will work for this / these. I use the ones that look like PC lap top supplies. Lighting EVER® Power Adaptor, Transformers, Power Supply For LED Strip, 12V, 3A Max, 36 Watt Max . These are about $10.00 each. You will need about 30watts (<3 Amps) per strip. I have found the supplied controller will drive at least 2 strips pretty well. It is recommended not to use more than 2 strips in series (one plugged into the next.

You use one of the power connectors on your power supply. that should be noted in the installation sheet

I'm wondering the same thing. It does NOT power my LED strip, and I'm wondering what's wrong.

You need to run power from a dc transformer to the light using a special cable. here is a kit for example LEDwholesalers Linkable Low Profile LED Rigid Strip and Power Supply for Display Case and Under Cabinet Lighting, 24-Inch, Warm White, 1988WW+1989PWR+3227

This is true, they connect end to end. however the signal and strength of the lighting itself deteriorates after 3 - 4 strips. I suggest separate the strips with a repeater which is supposed to boost the signal. I am not an expert by any means. just trial and error here.

Yes, just add a 12 volt power supply, there should be a power connecter at the beginning of each strip.

You will need the interconnect cables - the LED strips are female and the interconnect cables are male.

There must be a crack in the pc lines. They are set up in groups of 3 LEDs. Cut it where it's dead and apply power from other end. It prob got damaged. OR Talk to the seller. Some sellers will send a new strip/ spool

Once the strip has been cut, it is no longer attached to the power so it will not light. You will need to re-splice it to the strip that is connected to the power adapter.

I'm still trying to get it to work with the LED strip it came with. There seems to be an electrical short with the power wire connection.

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood

The light strips come just as a roll of lights. There is no power supply with them You Have to have some way to power them. You can buy one that goes with it or use your own. It take a 12 volt DC power supply that is rated at least 3 amps. The dimmer is optional. If you want to vary the intensity of the lights then you will have to buy one. The dimmer does not supply any power, it just dims the lights.
