Led fairy lights with controller


Christmasnut

Recommended Posts

Help please. I bought some led fairy lights with a 7 function controller. They were listed for indoor/ outoor. First of all when you plug them in you push the controll button to select what the lights do. I figured out how to keep them steady on by taking the controller apart and soldering 6 connections together then putting the contoller cover back on.

The problem is that the controller still gets moisture inside and shorts out the lights. Dead set.

Does anyone have an idea as to how to eliminate the contoller box by rewiring. I used my meter and found that the first two solder points have the wires directly from the plug.

How can i take the other 5 wires and connect them to the main plug wires safely?

Any help us greatly appreciated.

You can not do that without using the resistors and diodes that are on the little board.

Have you considered just waterproofing the little box?

If it was me, I would take a hot glue gun and just bury the entire thing and then put the cover back on.
