when hard wiring, is the yellow w/ green stripe power or ground? same with the blue and lt brown. need wiring instructions

Green/stripe is ground, blue is neutral and brown is hot. http://www.emsd.gov.hk/emsd/eng/pps/New_Cable_Colour_Code/en/about6.html The way Rick wired it will work, but it is not electrically correct, according to electrical code. Blue is never the "Hot" in any country, the only exception is in 240V circuits in one or two countries. Electrical safety is the concern here.

Please understand that I'm an astronomer, NOT a licensed electrician! So take my advice at your own risk. Having said that, I spent waaaay too much time having to research this, and finally found a page that gave me the correct connection. Here's what I did, and it worked:Std 110VAC Power Cord >>>>> Female Three-Prong Connector to T8 LED Tube LightGreen>>>>>Yellow W/Green StripeWhite>>>>>Light BrownBlack>>>>>BlueI used this setup to test all of the lights I bought. They all worked with no smoke or heating. My project has been delayed, so haven't installed them yet.Good luck with your project. Please understand that I'm an astronomer, NOT a licensed electrician!

In America, answers stating that yellow/green stripe is "ground" are correct (green wire in USA). Regarding the other two wires (brown and blue), even though it's AC and to remain standardized, the "brown" wire is considered "hot" (Black wire in USA), and the "blue" wire is considered "neutral" (white wire in USA). Thus, "green/yellow" wire connects to USA "green", "brown" wire connects to USA "black", and "blue" wire connects to USA "white". If you're confused, my apologies...just Wikipedia it...Wiki even has pictures!!!To summarize, green/yellow to GREEN, brown to BLACK, and blue to WHITE.Just a footnote,the other connection will work....it's just not "standard".

Mine did NOT match a "standard trailer" wiring diagram either. According to the manufacture this is the "RV" model and their color code diagram is on the www.hopkinstowingsolutions.com web site, under support. For me the following worked:Cable >>> Trailer------ ------------White --> White(Trailer Ground), Red --> Yellow(Trailer Left Turn & Brake), Brown --> Green(Trailer Right Turn & Brake), Green --> Brown(Trailer tail lights)

If the wires are brown, blue, and green with a yellow stripe then the combination is: Brown = Black Blue = White Green/Yellow = Ground Hope this helps.

You shouldnt need the yellow or green wires at all, unless you want to hook the light bar up to your turn signals. You just want to hook it up so you can see all the cool stuff it does right? Just run red wire to positive battery terminal and black wire to negative battery terminal. It should come right on. Use A to turn it on and off, C to change colors, D to change speed and B to change pattern. This light is very cool I promise. Its the best one of the 3 that i have had so far.

I think it does matter. I didn't have any problem, because I was replacing the switch almost exactly like this. I just lined it up the same way. If you're working from scratch, sometimes there's a small ridge on one of the wires which let you know hot versus ground. Good luck.

Mine is marked 1-9 left to right looking at the power strip connections 1,2,3=V+ 4,5,6=V- 7=Frame, safety ground - bare or green or green-yellow 8=Neutral, White 9=Active, Black (or sometimes Red), this is the switched line if you have a single pole on/off switch (it's shown as "L" or Live in the decal) Supply output (24v) is floating so you can ground (if required) either the V+ or V-

It's simple. Comes with 2 wires exposed at the ends. Red and black. The red gets connected to the positive (power) and the black to (negative). If you wire them to a switch just add the in between the connections. There are multiple videos on YouTube how to do this. These are bright and worth the money

Although it doesn't tell you which wire is power or ground... Just have to figure it out. I would rig up a wall plug and hook up the wires and use a meter to see what is what. Hope that helps!!

green is ground / yellow is tail or dim/brown is brake or bright \. hope this will help you. I just wanted bright tail lights so wired the green to ground and the brown to hot. they work great.

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same wire colors coming out of this fixture. I wired it (as seen in the first chart on http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html) as blue = neutral (white), light brown = hot (black), green/yellow striped = ground, and it works for me.

Odd, my 12v model only had 2 wires, Brown and Yellow, and being 12 I didnt think it mattered which was which, but generaly, I chose the brighter of the two(yellow) as the +, and installed an in line fuse, works fine, bright as hell. Id rate it at nearly 1000 lumen when connected to my Deep Cycle 12v Boat battery.

I tested each of mine before I installed the to verify which wire was common and ,brake , tail/light ,backup because of what you mentioned . (no instructions)I also verified existing wiring colors for their function and connected the new lights and had no issues. they work great and are a lot brighter than the originals.

the red is the power should go to the battery or a hot wire, the black is the ground wire just screw it any where metal, the green and yellow wires are for the turn signals if u were to hook it up to those, i dont believe wiring up a different wire will remember a pattern whenever i turn mine on its always on the last setting i had it on

Hi An, First of all, I just want to let you know that I'm not an electrician and all the installation that I had performed was just by following the instructions that came with the product and also did some online reading so that answer that I'm going to tell you was just based on their instruction. All my installations were on a single-switch installation and I never done a 3-way installation but just looking at instruction, it showed that Red is connected to the Yellow wire. I took a picture of the diagram that I had when I still have my Honeywell switches and I hope by looking at this, it will clear things up for you. http://db.tt/NXf3Hi0X- Joel Hi An, First of all, I just want to let you know that I'm not an electrician and all the installation that I had performed was just by following the instructions that came with the product and also did some online reading so that answer that I'm going to tell you was just based on their instruction.

Thanks, i'll check for the switch on the back tonight. i'm sure the polarity is correct, red to lead (+) and black to ground (-) right?
