I bought this 5m strip of 5050 RGB LED lights to put on my 200 gallon aquarium: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181069430648?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
For the power supply I bought a universal AC/DC adapter and have the output set to 12v.(which is the highest setting available) On the current factor on the adapter, it says DC 500mA max.
When I first got them in, the controller wouldn't work, so the LEDs were stuck on blue. I told the seller about it and they sent me a new controller free of charge. I got it in today and the new one does not work, so I am inclined to believe that it has something to do with the power supply I bought separately at home depot. Could this be caused by not having a strong enough power supply? Could someone suggest a good solution? Thanks.
