Edit: looking at the picture again, I realize that the colored wires on there just attach with spade connectors, dont they. So they could easily have been switched. Check for a resistance between the center and one of the other legs. A value in the hundreds of ohms would be your LED circuit.

Leigh Tate wrote:Ben, that's very helpful. I'm particularly interested how you set it up on solar. My current solar experience is with AC appliances; I have a chest freezer and converted chest freezer->fridge with a 705-AH battery bank. I have a sine wave inverter connected to the charge controller to plug the appliances into. So, powering DC will be new for me. Obviously, I don't need an inverter. But what do I need?
