what do I need to connect these lights up to electricity? I thought they came ready to plug into power outlet no so.

Check the "Frequently bought together" section right below the picture. It lists a transformer that works well with it.

In the specifications it lists the power requirements:* Input Voltage: 12VDC Power (max): 24W. This means you need a DC power supply that provides a maximum of 12 Volts DC and 24watts of power minimum. Several power supplies can be found on Amazon. So a 12 VDC, 25-30 watt power supply will work just fine.

They are 12 volt dc lights. You would have to use an AC to DC 12 volt converter to run them off of household power.

There is only one way to hook these lights up. It doesn't matter what colors your wires are. It appears that the maker doesn't care either. Since these are diodes the power will only flow one way. In short try one wire on the positive and the other on the negative. If that doesn't work switch them around. I got one white wire and one black... the black was positive...go figure right.

They don't come connected together. They are designed to be wired into an existing, wired pipe/stand. They take a regular light bulb. I would recommend LEDs so that you don't have to go through the hassle of changing out the bulbs so much.

You will need a 12 volt transformer and low voltage cable. The size of the transformer depends on how many lights you are using and their combined wattage. If you are using LED lights a 44 watt transformer will be sufficient. The transformer is plugged into an electrical outlet. You will need sufficient low voltage cable to cover the distance from the transformer to the light placement.

The unit should have come with a spike that goes on the bottom of the light and you push it into the ground. These are not solar lights; you need to purchase wiring and a transformer. You can bury the wire.

I enclosed them in a dual gang outdoor "in use" type power receptacle box. The short term simple approach would be to wrap in electricians tape.

The lights came already working, so I assume they were hooked up. They have a solar looking panel on the top, so I assume they are rechargeable, but since I just received them, I am not sure of these answers. Three did not work when they arrived.

We did not have good ones...looked at pic plus so called directions and worked it out. I had to go to the store to get some good wire so I could tie all he black and white to create just one for each as there were so many to connect...normally this is already done for you by most company's , so this is poor to leave to the consumer esp if you know nothing about electrical . If you do that give yourself enough slack as it's hard to connect if you have to hold it up close. Good luck...light is nice though and looks good

EZ just connect to 12v. My overhead lights were all on 1 switch......boom......!

It is a plug in. The switch to turn the lights on is on the wire and perhaps they could be hard wired.

Power wire to a fuse in ur fuse box..these light are not bright during the day time

Haven't hooked mine up yet, but why would you want to not use the LED? They use next to no power, and they're only lit when the circuit is energized, anyway. Get a switch with no light, there are plenty of those around.

Usually these are mounted on the ceiling and wired to a wall switch. They run on 120V AC power. If you do now have a wire to where these are to be placed you may need to contact an electrician. The one I ordered was a replacement for an older track light so the wire was already in the ceiling.

I have been meaning to send mine back for months. They are plug and play, but the lights themselves are too large to go into hole.

No they're a simple electric light that require a standard electrical outlet

You need a 110 volt to 12 v. DC transformer, sold separately. You "plug" the lights into the transformer (be sure to get one with the matching DC plug on one end) and plug the other 110-120 v. plug into an outlet, and they should "play." Recommend you get a higher wattage transformer than the rating for the lights. One of mine burned out less than a month after installation. Replacement has double the wattage and works fine.
