Stephen Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have been working for the past few months on and off on my LED fixture and I need help. The entire fixture is built and wired, however I can only get one strand to light up... There's obviously a short somewhere and every time I start removing wires and reattaching them I just create more problems that lead to set backs. After weeks of frustration I am seeking help! Someone please help me complete this bad boy so I can get it up and running! Shouldn't take you too much time if you are good with electronics or have experience. I don't have much money, but I could pay you or trade work for corals or equipment. Please let me know. I'm in South Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bio)³ Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I built my own 20 led kit with only a few hiccups. Learned what I needed to know... if you can't get help or figure it out from other threads I'll take a stab at it. I never ask for a payment but I never turn down a free frag If you know anything about honda scooters perhaps we can just trade some knowledge and support? If you dont know about scooters thats fine I'll still help you as much as I can. I am pretty tied up this weekend with rejetting a carb, building a sump and organizing my garage but If I get my scoot running with this rejet I'll need a destination to head for to test everything out. I could pack up a little bag of gear and come over to see if I can help at all. GL bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragIt Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I had this very same problem........it had to do with the potentiometers wiring.......the connectors that came with kit were clamp type and if I used those on pot. wiring they did not fire....AS soon as I switched to the screw caps one fired......after a coupla days I switched the connections to the potentiometers and somehow( though not sure why) if I went AGAINST the directions and wired them incorrectly.......They both fired....Not saying this is your problem but.......If I had followed directions....My kit would never have fired.......
