Light strip install 12v

[Dragonfly1363]

Crazy- during testing all added components show signal strength but lights don’t light. Take off alligator clips and plug into ac lights work. What am I missing??

The lights don’t turn on when I connect them directly to DC power(alligator clips to a car battery), but do work if I connect them to my wall outlet using the DC converter. I measured 12.35V DC at the plug going into the control box in both situations and even measured 12V DC at the other end of the light strips in both situations. Why can’t I get them to work without the AC to DC adapter?

Everything reads 12v with meter, whether hooked to battery with clips or ac adapter. I can’t get light on battery.

This is a strange one. Do you have details about the lights? A link to the product online?

Seems simple enough but i am a DIYer and go trial and error often.
