Hi everyone,
This is my first post, and I come to you all with a question about LEDs.
I recently got some (10 pink, 10 red, 10 blue, 10 orange) from eBay, and I'm having trouble getting them to work. I'm wondering if I'm using too little voltage.
The description said 9v-12v DC. So, I tried using a 9v battery, with some 9v battery connecters I got off of Amazon. I stripped the red and black on both the connector and lights (they were pre-wired), and connected everything, and got nothing.
I went back to the listing page and found the chart that I've attached to this message. Does the chart mean I need to use a 12v power source instead?
If that's the case, where can I go about getting one? I see Amazon has these A23 12v batteries - will those work? Or, do I need, like, a car battery or something? Are connectors available for A23 batteries as well? I didn't find anything after a quick search on Amazon.
These LEDs are for a photoshoot on Saturday. So, I'm hoping to have a solution before then. If anyone knows more about this than me, and would be so kind as to reply, I would truly appreciate it.
Hoping to hear from all of you!
Thanks!
