LED awning strip lights

When I turned the awning LED strip lights they were very dim not even close to how bright they used to be. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks .

  • Could also be a blown fuse for that circuit.

    Some fuse panels have a blown-fuse indicator LED that continues to supply a small amount of current to the circuit after its fuse has blown - and even this tiny amount of current is sometimes enough to dimly illuminate LED light fixtures or power some other low-drain devices.
  • The obvious question..

    Are they setup on a dimmer?

    Sometimes things like this will have some sort of dimming control, could be a knob on the on/off switch, could be a button on a remote control..

    Start there and rule that possibility out..

    If no dimmer can be found then start looking at voltage at the LED panel, if voltage is at or very close to battery voltage (IE "12V") and you do not have a dimmer then the issue is most likely failing LED strip and the only repair is to replace.
