Help rewire rapid leds

knap_123 · 07/22/2014, 08:18 PM

I bought a tank and these lights worked fine. The fans went out so I had to remove them to replace them. But when I put the lights back they won't come on. But when I unplugged them each color did flicker off in white, white, blue, blue. Now the wires were a confusing mess before. They had different colors soldered on the ends. So I cut them off and seperated the blues from the whites. Now I've never messed with lights much so I don't won't to nuke them. How do I rewire them?

it's not something that we can just tell you, we would need to know a lot more info and not knowing how the original person wired them makes it impossible for us to just tell you what to do.
we would need to know what led emiters they were and how many on each string, what drivers and if they are adjustable what mA are hey set at now.
