Retard here, how the fug do I connect all this shit up? Some

you could just start plugging wires into outlets and see what happens

>>1100053
Sounds like you need to solder it

>>1100056
I'm thinkin red to red and black to black, cut off the other connector and attach it to the power supply since I'm using the full strip. Good idea? Bad? Using the wires at the wrong end of the box? Who the hell knows. I'm surprised google didn't give me a single useful bit of information
>>1100058
Yeah, but which wire to what? Might as well be moonspeak on the power supply, no general installation info on the website either

anyone?

>>1100108
The white box has labeling on it. Can't make it out in the pic. One end should be something like "120VAC". That goes to the black and white wires on your wall outlet cord. Doesn't matter which wire goes to what; you can't get this backwards. The other end will be something like "12v DC". That goes to LED strip. + to red - to black.

>>1100113
Figured it out. I went red to red, black to black from power supply to led strip. Then I went white to blue and black to brown from the power supply to the power cable. Seems to work right

>>1100126
you need to find out how many amps those LEDs use, then multiply that by the number of LEDs that are on the strip. Don't let it excede the max amps on that little white DC transformer

>>1100126
Congratulations on your first electronics.

I'd assume if "support said everything I need to have it working" then they didn't fuck OP with a power supply too weak for the LEDs. Also your math is wrong. You're forgetting LED strips put LEDs in series groups and those in parallel instead of every individual LED in parallel.

You're missing a plug

On that pic
oh. op, post a pic of your stuff rather than something grabbed from a website, o-tay?

From your picture that doesn't show much detail:

AC in side is blue and brown. Blue appears to be neutral (which is the black wire on the danger plug), and the brown is line which the white wire on the danger plug. On this side, if I'm not mistaken, there isn't a ground neutral so it doesn't need to be connected (the green wire on the danger plug).

On the other end is DC out end with red being your positive (red to red) and black being the negative (black to black). Hope that helps.

If you're talking about the ground connection, it said only Class I power supplies need a ground. Mine is a Class II, so there isn't even a wire for one. If you're talking about something else then I have no idea

I ordered from superbrightleds, they just automatically recommend the power supply with the proper numbers. I contacted tech support to make sure. Nothing blew up or got too hot when I plugged them in, I guess that's good

The other half of this plug

>>1100320
Yeah I mentioned earlier that I was going to borrow the male LC2 plug from the other end of the LED strip since it won't be needed there

>>1100219
Black is line
white is neutral.
Please don't get someone killed anon
Not that it matters on an led driver
