Just so, what are the 3 wires on LED lights?
On a three wire pigtail that's being used on a stop/turn/taillight, the red wire carries the brake/turn signal circuit, the black wire carries the running lamp circuit and the white wire provides the ground connection.
One may also ask, what happens if you put a non dimmable LED bulb in a dimmer? Dimming LED lamps can save energy and changes the visual appearance and mood of your space. You can use a dimmable LED lamp in a non-dimmable circuit. You should NOT use a non-dimmable lamp in a dimmable circuit as it may cause damage to the lamp and or circuit.
Also, do all LED lights need a driver?
Most LEDs require a driver, a few are designed to run on AC current. Most household LEDs that are direct replacements for incandescent, halogen, and CFL bulbs with an E26/E27 or GU10/GU24 base have an internal driver. It's the strip lights where people trip up.
Can LED lights cause a fire?
LED lights do not emit light from a vacuum as most other bulb types do. Overheating is one of the reasons a bulb could start a fire, but that is highly unlikely to happen with LED lights. They may feel hot to touch, but they produce light at a significantly lower temperature than other bulbs.
