If you have access to the terminals on each LED, the Fluke in diode mode should illuminate each individual LED (This is not always the case). The polarity of the meter leads is important. If no light when connected one way, try reversing the leads.

If not, count the number of diodes in each strip, multiply it by 3 (3V per LED) gives you the voltage you need to apply to the input of each strip. So a strip of 12 LEDs will need 36V. Any strip that doesn't light up will have faulty LED/LEDs on it. Heat discolouration on a particular LED may give it away.

Most of us have a LED tester by now. Connect it to a strip, and it automatically adjusts the voltage up until the strip lights up.

you can use two aa batteries like in this video some people also test the leds in each direction using the diode mode on there multimeter

Hi Guys, i wired up an 18volt drill battery and tested, the one strip did not work, there is a strip on eBay for sale but its a used one do you know the best place to get a new one?

Thanks

Hi,

When first trying check Leds, I assumed that the Copper area either side on the strip was anode/cathode. It isn't of course, just the heat sink connected to the larger cathode area of the Led.

The anode connection is to a thin printed track leading to the next Led in line, and next to the -ve which runs along the length of the strip (With usual LG strips)

Currently use a current limited power supply but notice China does automatic Led testers showing voltage and current for less than £15.00 inc post - Chris.

Hi Turnip, thanks i have located the faulty strip, just need to know best place to purchase now :)
Thanks
