Re: 999 I need a sparky!
Rite o I decided I'm gonna wire it myself . This is how I see it? Wires! But there's no block connector to join the output side? Or do I just twist them together and insulation tape them? Also where do the driver go? .

I'd wire it up for you, but I ain;t doing it over this internet... You'll end up with curlier bollock hair when you plug it in.
Has IS got a video guide or something?

Re: 999 I need a sparky!
Capt...this picture is how to wire it....the two wires you have with bare ends connect to the board and the bits with the connector on connect to the driver. Brown to the + and blue to the - (the boards should be configured so the terminals are opposite/next to each other). You will also need a piece of link wire as shown in MrNice's drawing to complete the circuit - 1 wire connecting from + on one board to - on the other board. The connectors are all push connectors so joining the 2 wires together is easy...just push brown to brown and blue to blue. On the board, they are push fit too..push the wire through the little hole in the plastic and the metal tension grip should hold it in place.MrNice wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 11:47 pmInvisible Sun LED ISH265 Pro quick assembly video

MrNice rough ass drawing
The other side is just a connector for the mains so the brown to the brown the blue to blue and the green/yellow one to the green/yellow one (put the end caps over the wires first so then screw it together once wired then wires nice and sealed).
Then take pictures before plugging in. hope this helps!

Re: 999 I need a sparky!
Ta for that so the bare wires push into panels and the bare outlet wires go into the blocks? I'll watch that video before I do it. .Beef wrote:Capt...this picture is how to wire it....the two wires you have with bare ends connect to the board and the bits with the connector on connect to the driver.

Re: 999 I need a sparky!
How do you want it wired Captain? Do you want the main wire coming out of the middle of that light panel or at either one of the ends?captain beefheart wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 8:40 pmRite o I decided I'm gonna wire it myself .

This is spot on, basically what you need to do.Beef wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 12:59 amCapt...this picture is how to wire it....the two wires you have with bare ends connect to the board and the bits with the connector on connect to the driver.

But it makes it easier to give advice if we know where you would prefer the main lead going to the driver (if you want this located outside the room etc) or just the main lead going to the wall.
I.e. the following diagrams show the FOUR different ways of wiring those two panels:-
Once we know this we can give you an exact wiring plan to be able to get that up and running mate.
Sorry, I wasn't subscribed to this and missed the updates.
