The driver or transformer’s output voltage must match the input voltage needed by your strip light. Vice versa, overpowering your rope lights will make your lights hot to the touch, ultimately causing the wiring to fry and your lights to fail. 24-volt strip lights are better for slightly longer runs, commonly in homes for under cabinet and staircase lighting or in RVs. Under powering your lights, such as using a 12-Volt driver for 24-Volt strip lights, is likely to cause your lights to flicker, dim, or not light up at all. A 12-volt strip light is typically used for short runs, such as for automotive vehicles or motorcycles, which is how many people are able to skip installing an LED driver and hardwire the lights to a 12-Volt DC battery. LED strip lights are available in 12 or 24-Volt versions. Incorrect Power Source – Make sure to double check which power source your lights require. If your RGB strip lights won’t change colors try flipping your strip light around and reconnecting it. RGB or color-changing LED strip lights are particular susceptible to this reversed polarity problem.

The arrow on your connectors should point to the plus sign on your strip lights. Typically one side of the strip light carries a positive charge, noted by a single dashed line, and the other side has the negative charge, usually noted with the manufacturer logo.
