The terminal block provides clear markings for input and output connections:
- L (AC): AC Live Wire
- N (AC): AC Neutral Wire
- GND: Ground connection
- -V (DC 12V-): DC 12V Negative Output
- +V (DC 12V+): DC 12V Positive Output
- +V ADJ: Adjustment for output voltage (up to 15%)
5.1 Light Strip Wiring Methods
Image: Examples of wiring configurations for single and multiple LED light strips.
Refer to the diagrams for common wiring methods when connecting LED light strips:
- Directly Connect Strips: For single strip connections.
- One-Way Multiple Strips: For connecting multiple strips from one side.
- Two-Way Multiple Strips: For connecting multiple strips from both sides to ensure even power distribution.
6. Operating Instructions
After successful installation and wiring, ensure all connections are secure. Turn on the main power switch. The indicator light on the power supply will illuminate, indicating it is operational. The output voltage can be fine-tuned using the '+V ADJ' potentiometer, allowing for up to 15% adjustment. Always verify the voltage requirements of your connected devices before making adjustments.
7. Safety Protections

The Nilight power supply incorporates multiple safety features to protect both the unit and connected equipment:
- Over Voltage Protection: Prevents damage from excessive voltage.
- Short Circuit Protection: Automatically shuts off power in case of a short circuit.
- Over Temperature Protection: Safeguards against overheating.
- Over Current Protection: Protects against excessive current draw.
- EMI/RFI Filter: Reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference for stable output.
8. Maintenance
This power adapter is designed for indoor use only and is not waterproof. Keep the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area. Regularly check for loose connections or signs of damage. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance. The metal enclosure is designed for heat dissipation; ensure adequate airflow around the unit.
9. Troubleshooting
If the power supply is not functioning correctly, consider the following:
- No Power Output: Check the input voltage selector switch is set correctly (110V or 220V). Verify the AC input connection and ensure the power outlet is functional.
- Indicator Light Off: This may indicate no input power or an internal fault. Check power connections.
- Intermittent Power: Inspect all wiring for loose connections or damage. Ensure the load does not exceed the 120W maximum output.
- Overheating: Ensure the unit has sufficient ventilation and is not covered. Reduce the load if it is consistently running hot.
For persistent issues, contact Nilight customer support.
