Jaz Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hey it could be anything....I don't know ANYTHING about electrics...LEDs (or what that stands for) if they come in pretty colours ......how you join the strips, fix the strips, what power you connect, and if you need more power if there is a large number of LEDs. Basically I am an knowledge free zone....willing to learn anything regards how you add the lights. We have bought skaledale lights which come with little plugs...I might be good with those....
