HI,
I have bought a pallet of stuff from a guy and among it there was these two LED lights.
They are new and unused but not sure how to turn them on and see their colors
I tried plugging one of them to my table lamp but it did not work. Do i need a power adapter or something special to turn it on?

BTW, NEWBIE here

They screw right into a lamp of the proper base/socket type and will light up..
If they don't they are likely just dead/bad...

Faulty (cold) solder joints are the main cause of LED bulb failure..

So I have tested both.
One is working fine with 3 colors red, blue and white. 4 small leds for each color arranged in some format.

The other one is not wokring but with just touching the led without moving it, i can see weak light that will disappear when i remove my hand and so on.
Maybe will unscrew tonight and see if can be fixed.

What do you mean by grow lights? can I use them for my house plants? I have kinda a lot plants and if it will help them grow then I will use it.

Found sometimes a "leak to ground" will dimly light some LEDs..
Just say its leakage voltage..
Fixing????
Check the capacitors for swelling or leaking.

Yes..

Just updating that the LED is working now. Just opened it and took the board out and put it again. Nothing I did and screwed everything back. Now its working and using the LEDs for my house planets :)

Thanks for the help.
