Checking voltage on LED power supply ?
Not RV related per se, but figured someone here would know. I recently purchased a set of LED lights to put some path lights to avoid tripping. Hooked up the lights and everything works fine.
Next, I decided to put a strip of 5050 led's on some stairs. The strip LED's have + and - markings and are 12v . The output from the power supply for the path lights is also 12v so I figured I'd hook into that. I got out the meter and I get nothing when I check the voltage, yet the lights work. Check the meter with a different power supply I have for some other lights and it reads 12v as it should. So, why would the new power supply indicate no voltage and yet at the same time, successfully light up the 12v LED lights?
