What plug do you need for LED lights?
LED strips, unfortunately, are not as simple as traditional incandescent light bulbs when it comes to installation and set up. Because they run on low voltage DC, they require a power supply device that converts 120V/240V AC (depending on your location) into the voltage signal that LED strips can use.
What is a LED adapter?
A power adapter relays the right amount of current to your electronics. The LED power adapter will take the alternating current (AC) from the wall outlet then convert it into a lower direct current (DC) voltage. Your LED strips can comfortably, safely, and optimally run on this DC voltage.
Do you need a plug for LED lights?
LEDs last 25 times longer than incandescent. They just last a long time. LEDs draw very little power so they can run for a long time on a small battery without any issues. There is no need for a bulky wall transformer and a wall plug to light your project.

What kind of connector does a power supply use?
The latest standards for power supply make use of an 8-pin connector (sometimes called EPS 12V), made up of 2 x 4-pin blocks, again to ensure compatibility with old motherboards and the classic ATX P4: Still very present in every PC, it is sometimes used directly on the motherboard (MSI) and is used to connect the hard disk and other drives.
