LED Strip Power Supply (12V 30W) and Double Light Switch Connection Issues

Hello, as in the topic, I want to connect the LED strip power supply (12V 30W) to the light switch (double), I want the strip to light up together with the upper light, I connected it to 2 and 3 and when I turn on the light, the tape and the top light flash each other. Please, give me a hint on how to connect it so that it works properly.

You connect the power supply with led under 3 and 1 and it should be fine.

You don't have a switch in the switch, but you only have + or - which, when connected, turns on the light.

If you want, the power supply with led connect to the socket, cut 1 cable and connect it to the switch with 2 separate switches.

Added after 2 [minutes]:

Oh yes

Well, I just wanted to avoid plugging into a socket. Yes, this switch just has one common ground. So I need a switch with two separate switches?

Yes, and it must be under the socket because you have either + or - in the switch.

I am correcting the picture because I forgot to give the power supply

God what heresy ....
I know it's a beginner's section, but what are the "pros and cons" !!!
Before giving advice, you should at least know the basics.

xury So what's in the socket ?????? The current is variable.

And besides, there is 1 AC cable in the switch, I wrote it as + or - so that my friend knows what is going on, as far as I know, it is impossible to power a device from 1 wire. If you have nothing to write, do not write, I am trying to help.

As already, it is a PHASE cable.
And to connect the power supply, you also need a NEUTRAL cable, which will probably be found in the box above the connector.
And, of course, the PROTECTIVE cable cannot be forgotten ...

Only now, the problem will be to find this light box, the apartment is not mine, rented and all done in a very "old" way.

So a new on / off switch with two separate switches must be? can I mess with this?
If not on this can, I can connect to an ordinary socket? (So that it does not hurt after connecting a device to this socket?)

buy a switch with 2 separate contacts and connect the cable to the power supply, and cut 2 to the switch.

Ok, I'll buy it and see what happens. I will write if it succeeds. greetings

Well, I bought a triple switch like below, common phase?



Let it stay to connect each of the lights up, down, tape separately, how to connect now? only with the use of a power outlet or bringing an additional cable from the box? is it going to be attached somehow with this installation?

The picture shows that it has a common cable.

Peel off that gray plastic and paste the pictures.

This is the common cable, in the middle of the cube you can see the diagram of this switch. Remove anyway and insert a photo?

After all, there is a symbol of internal connections on the casing ... why would you like to remove the casing?
Probably only to void the warranty and damage the connector ...

Added after 4 [minutes]:

Connect the phase wire to the common contact of the connector and successively from three outputs to one and the other bulb, and the third contact to the LED power supply. Neutral and protective conductor directly to the lamps and power supply ...
And that's about it ...

That's the symbol ...
So I miss one wire in these cables to the connector, three cables, one light bulb, the second light bulb and a common phase were brought to the first connector as above.
Now I have the power supply not connected to the circuit in the box, so I have to connect to the box from which these wires are coming, right?
Nothing to connect with these wires?

Yes, but you need to connect the fourth wire to the connector ... So that you have 3 'outputs' and one common 'input' (phase)

You can connect the power supply to the output for one of the lamps ... but from what it seems to me, you want to have LEDs on a separate circuit ...

Initially, it was supposed to be on the perimeter with one of the bulbs, but something does not work together, if I connect the common phase and each cable separately + bridge with one bulb, if I turn on one of them, it flashes or alternately with the tape or either the bulb or the tape lights up .
Now it can be that each should be separate.
I found a can of it all ...
I have to lead zero yes? the question of how to track which zero is it? am I able to check it with a meter? or can I pull zero from a neighboring socket (it would be easier, otherwise I have to hammer the wall)?

Draw a diagram of how you connected it ...


And properly it should look like this:

If I bridge the led under two halogens, either the led tape lights up when it switches the halogens.

When it bridges under the bulb, the led and the bulb flashes once.

What colors is L and what N ??
There is no ground wire in the entire installation, and no sockets.

Man, these wise people write that it is impossible to power the LED power supply from the contact of lights, what are you up to? And they write to you that you will find the neutral either in a can on the wall or in the lamp itself powered by this contact. And look there.

Well, it was not that I can not contact you, but that I can do or so ... I am not a specialist, so I am looking for a specific answer whether it is possible or not. I can see on the diagram how I will be looking for it. Thanks to those who are trying to help something and understand that not every expert here. I guess it's better to ask five times than to do anything about contacts without this very knowledge

I got into this box, are you able to tell which one to connect to from the led power supply with the N cable?
I only tracked which cables from the switch go to the j / n box




If this is not enough info, I give up on it and call an electrician

Some of them have trouble connecting a light bulb and a led strip to the switch
I would like the ceiling light bulb to shine separately and the LEDs separately. On the right, a black cable is connected, next to the symbol (a circle with keys coming out of it), on the left, a brown cable is connected, next to an upward arrow symbol, on the right, there is a blue and yellow cable, and on the left, nothing. In each of the four corners. There are two entrances. Where to connect the LED cable?
