how does this hook up to a 4 cable LED strip. I have a strip that has RGB and + as the labeled wires. Im confused as to how you connect it to + and -

Connect your DC + power in wire to the V+ in. Connect the DC- power in wire to the V-in. Connect your + wire from your LED strip to the V+ out. With RGB wires there might be 3 color led's, red, green and blue. Try each of the wires R, G, B separately or in combination to the V- out and see what you get.

You would have to define (your own string of LEDS). I know the strips have Resistors on them that are somewhat matched to the controller. I think the controller uses current limiting output transistors or pulse width modulation for the color control variation. You could try your own. I think the output voltage is 12v the same as the input. Does your own string have resistors, if it does was it part of a 12 or 120 volt set ? If your thinking of controlling some LED christmas lights then this is the wrong controller for you.

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

On mine, there were two solid colored wires (blue & brown?), and one (yellow) with a stripe. When I opened the back of the light, I found that the striped wire just ended and was not connected to anything. My guess is that they found 3-lead wire cheaper than 2 or 4-lead so that's what we get. The other two solid wires seem to work interchangeably as + or -, so they apparently added circuitry to make them idiot-proof. Short Answer: Striped wire: Not used Other two: Connect to 12V DC

You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring. I could be wrong tho :) However, the adapter is plenty powerful enough to run both your strips. I believe its made to power a little over a 16' strip of LEDs. I used one on a bookcase and it was fine. The only thing I had to do though, was cut the LED strip when I got to the corners and use a special connector you can buy on Amazon too, but I didnt have to worry about going an opposite direction like you are. I would say you'll maybe have to solder the wires or the strip together close to the outlet. You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring.

The LED strip only has a molex connector; this requires a power supply inside a computer to power it. You would rewire the strips to be powered by another 5V source, but I would go with a different DIY solution.

I run two 5050 17.4 feet HD RGB strips. Thats 600 LEDs that has been running for over two years with a 12v/10A power supply. I have never had a single issue with it. The power supply can be found here > http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C055BK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

You have to get the connectors and then splice it into the correct wire colors. If you dont want to buy the connectors, you could always match the wire location to the solder point on one LED strip, then match the connection you made with the next LED strip. Thats how i do it and it works just fine. Just be careful of bending the solder points to much. They could break the connection causing the LED strip to not work on one side or maybe one color not showing.

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

As far as I know there are two ways to control these light strips- using a 2.5mm center-positive 12v connection, or utilizing the 6803 controller (a much better option in my opinion.) Search for 6803 controller on here or eBay and you'll see them. These strips utilize 4 wires (V+, Gnd, Data, Clock) but also have a barrell jack connector in case you don't get the controller or prefer not to use these to their full capabilities.

Yes, this controller does support RGB 5050 Strips. Based on my experience a 12VDV power supply of 750mA or better will suffice. If you plan to use more than one 15 foot length of 5050 strips, consider 1-1.5A or higher. Any more than 2 LED strips will require additional RGB amplifiers and additional power supplies.

These connectors work perfectly with the 8mm LED strips. Most importantly, make sure the + side of the LED strip is positioned beneath the metal clip on the RED wire. The LED strip is marked +/- so make sure the strip is aligned correctly inside the clips. If you're light strip doesn't light up when you slide the ends under the two metal clips, you may have to pull the strip out of the clips just a tad. Just work it in and out until you hit the sweet spot on the LED strip.

You can use these: http://www.amazon.com/20pcs-Connectors-Strip-Lights-Insert/dp/B008LR35VK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1388815501&sr;=8-1&keywords;=led+pins+connectors but there may be a limit as to how many feet you can connect. From what I have researched it should work. I thought I read somewhere there was some limit as to the length. Only $1.99 for 10 of them.
