It has been nightmare installing this lamp with the useless instruction... Anyone know how to connect this 3wires to 2 housewires(one black &white)?

The third wire (not black or white) is the ground wire and should be connected to the copper wire that should be in your junction box. If you don't have one coming out of the box, consult an electrician for safety.

I ended up having someone install it for me. I must say it was not easy for the electrician to do it, it took him long. Its worth it though, the lamp looks very good. Sorry I could not be of any help. Good luck

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

Honestly I had the same problem. the wires aren't lined up right. you have them matched incorrectly. hard to know without a diagram. I had someone help me with a lead tester. that helped to at least identify the hot wires. then you just match them up to the right ones on the unit.

You can't...my items came that way too. I had to send it back. I guess it's just defected...very aggravating to try and install a product that is missing a key component!

You need to hire or find someone who can read the wiring diagram that came with the unit. Sorry, don't mean to sound short, but it was pretty easy for me. Can't give you a step by step through this text box.

Greg, I have one of these on the front & I don't care a lick for it! Buy a bigger unit if you can! As far as wiring, I just made up a 2 strand wire harness & ran it along the inside edge of my deep v right down to the battery. I then split it & put a connecter for each post. It works like a charm! I'm no Guru when it comes to this kind of stuff either and I made it work. cbmgh@comcast.net if I cabn be of further assistance to you. CB

I tried using what I had as well and ended up buying a bigger unit to plug into the wall and I tried using my wire but ended up buying new wire. Once I got everything in place it works fine but I was frustrated at first trying to use what I had. Good luck

Oh, no worries--hooks up just like a regular light does--one hole with the wires coming thru and easy peasy to do if you already have an existing fixture--just label the wires with masking tape where they were and were they go, if they are not modern color coded. It really is beautiful--just takes time to put the crystals onto the drop downs--not complicated, just time consuming, but sooooo worth it in the end :0)

Wire one power supply to both ends 12v DC or 24vac works great / output switch can be NO or NC just move jumper / unit is aligned when LED is lit on receiver. The one with 2 wires is lamp and 4 wires is receiver / if near a window or slider signal may bounce off glass, A tube or tape may help to limit beam. Have fun : )

That one stumped me too. Nothing in the instructions, although they do mention 12 VDC for that wire somewhere in a diagram. The instructions were horrible, and the thing never powered on. I returned it and got a refund. My suggestion is you do the same.

Hi this wont work with just two wires It has a third power wire, your electrician might be able to help with that. The installation manual is available on line if you search for it.

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 usedOther two: Connect to 12V DC

the wires need to be pushed up into the bulb holder so these connectors hold the bulb then the wires extend to the bottom so you can push them together to make the electrical connection. very easy to do. instructions are in package. had one together in less than 10 minutes. good luck!

After connecting to computer, nothing happened. Turning the knob only increase or decrease illumination of led.I received this item without installation CD.Is there anyone who will dircet me the link for drivers of this item. To add more difficulties, there is no brand or company name.
