RGB LED Strip (SMD 5050, 300 LEDs, 12V) Connection with Ceiling Lighting & Remote Control Issues

Hi,

I bought rgb led strip:
LED type: SMD 5050 (Multicolor) 3-chip RGB Epistar
LED quantity: 300
Beam angle: 120 °
Voltage: 12V DC
Power consumption: 2.4W / 1m
Color rendering index CRI: Ra> 80
Certificates: CE, RoHS

it looks like:


the led strip was terminated with an ordinary contact plug. I cut it open and ankle out the cables and connected them to the cables that protruded from the ceiling into the lighting. It is a multicolour tape operated by the included remote control.
Everything works properly until the strip is operated by the lighting switch.

if I turn the tape on and off with the remote control, the program remains unchanged [I want to be permanently white].
however, if I turn off the tape with the light switch, the tape returns to its basic program [as if resetting] - which is multicolor. when you turn on the tape again, the multicolour mode jumps into the light switch and the room shines like a Christmas tree.

tape

is there any way to set the tape only to the WHITE color mode, can it somehow be connected / omitted some cables?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can completely omit the driver and connect three colors to 12V in parallel.
The tape is labeled, for example, R, G, B, +. Then the + line is connected to the power supply plus (if there is a round plug to the hole). The R, G, B lines are connected together to the minus of the 12V power supply.

If it was to be permanent, it is convenient to buy a socket with clamps, where you can plug in the power supply and possibly a four-hole socket with a piece of cable, matching the cable of the tape itself.

Only two things do not add up here ...

The second is a photo of the driver with the tape.

where can i find this designation?

tapes a starts with 4 cables:
red, blue, green, white which I connect to the cables from the power supply - red, blue, green, black.
which is r, g, b, +?

can I omit the ir, g, b power supply directly under the ankle (blue cable minus), which is connected to the lighting cables, a + to the plus (brown cable with electricity)?

The colors of the wires indicate the LED color, R - red, red, G - green, green, B - blue, blue.

ok, following this trail, I connected only the white cable to the black one, so that only the white light works, but now the led strip does not react at all and does not shine, either with the remote control or the light switch:

Post # 2 describes how to connect the wires to get a white color.

You need to locate and disconnect the plug of the power supply that goes into the round plug of the controller.
The driver is most likely the white box that you can see in your photo behind the cables. It may be that the power supply socket is on a short cable, or directly in this box.

Plug like in the foreground here:





And then (the cable from the tape) white to the buttonhole and these three colors to the outside of the plug

ok, I got a reply from the manufacturer:
" The tape driver, unfortunately, does not have the memory function of the last selected lighting mode . "
what is this driver? this white box is a driver or power supply.

This white box is a driver connected to the power supply on one side and to the LED strip on the other. The element on the cable is the IR receiver from the remote control.

ok, first attempt failed, what did i do;

1) I missed the driver [white can];
2) I separated the cables from the power supply;
3) I separated the cables from the led strip;
4) I connected the pink cable from the power supply with the green, blue and red cable from the led strip;
5) I connected the black cable from the power supply with the black cable from the led strip;
6) as a result, nothing shines and all the cables have electricity.




is it possible that there is no downside here?
I will add that it is a 4.5 meter tape for PLN 35 from a Chinese.

Connect the pink one from the power supply to the black one from the LED strip, black from the power supply to the connected RGB wires from the LED strip.

thanks genius! works;] BIG THANKS!
