Philips Chip LED Module Connection Diagram (12V)
This connection diagram applies to the 1.08W LED module (Philips chip, 2800K-12000K, 180LM/W, 12V DC), illustrating the standard wiring method for single module and multi-module connection. It ensures safe and stable operation while maximizing the module’s performance.
1. Diagram Overview
The LED module adopts a low-voltage 12V DC power supply, with simple wiring (positive and negative poles) that is easy to install. Below is the standard connection structure, including core components and wiring logic.

3. Single Module Connection (Basic Wiring)
1. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the 12V DC power supply to the red wire of the power cable.
2. Connect the negative terminal (-) of the power supply to the black wire of the power cable.
3. Connect the other end of the red wire (positive) to the + terminal of the LED module.
4. Connect the other end of the black wire (negative) to the - terminal of the LED module.
5. Check the wiring (ensure no reverse connection of positive and negative poles) and turn on the power supply; the LED module will light up normally.
4. Multi-Module Connection (Parallel Connection)
When connecting multiple 1.08W LED modules, use parallel connection (to ensure each module gets stable 12V voltage and consistent brightness). The steps are as follows:
1. Prepare a 12V DC power supply with sufficient power: Total Power = Number of Modules × 1.08W (e.g., 10 modules need a 12V/10.8W+ power supply).
2. Connect all the + terminals of the LED modules to the same red (positive) power cable (use a junction box if needed).
3. Connect all the - terminals of the LED modules to the same black (negative) power cable.
4. Connect the combined positive and negative cables to the corresponding terminals of the 12V power supply.
5. Verify the wiring and power on; all modules will light up uniformly.
5. Important Notes
- Polarity Warning: Do not reverse the positive and negative poles. Reverse connection will cause the module to not light up and may damage the product (voiding the 7-year warranty).
- Power Supply Matching: Ensure the power supply’s output voltage is strictly 12V DC, and the rated power is not less than the total power of the connected modules.
- Wiring Distance: For long-distance wiring (over 5 meters), 18AGW copper wires are still applicable, effectively avoiding voltage drop and reduced brightness.
- Waterproof Protection: If used outdoors, ensure all connectors and wiring joints are waterproof (use waterproof connectors and sealant) to prevent short circuits.
Following this connection diagram ensures the LED module (Philips chip) operates safely, stably, and maintains its 7-year service life. For large-scale installation (more than 20 modules), consult a professional electrician for guidance.
