[QUOTE="HomerJay, post: 548009, member: 35451"] Hi again folks. The adventure continues! As it's been the first non raining day for ages, I decided to get on with connecting these LEDs up but I ran into some strange (to me) issues. Ive attached a basic diagram to see if any of you knowledgeable chaps can suggest anything. [ATTACH type="full" alt="led-problem.jpg"]15792[/ATTACH] When the PSU (power plug) is connected to LED 1 and 2, Both LEDs work. (A) Because the wire from LED2 was cut in transit, I removed the connector from LED3, exposing 2 wires (red & blue) so I could connect it to the PSU directly to these wires. (B) The strange thing was that when I do this, only LED3 works but when I reverse the polarity (ie switched the bare wires around when connecting to the plug) only LED4 works! I just can't get both LED3 and LED4 to work at the same time! LED 1&2 are connected using the connectors in the pic above - one male and one female. Same with LED 3&4. LED4 has a connector but its not connected to anything. Can anyone suggest a solution please? [/QUOTE]
