I’m watching this problem as well. And I think Bernard or I could provide an easy solution to the issue with the rotary switch.Lili, I'm receiving only the audio portion of your video post. Could you send a photograph of wiring. Famous last words, " the circuit is so simple that nothing could go wrong".
Thank you both. Wiring is as schematic.I’m watching this problem as well. And I think Bernard or I could provide an easy solution to the issue with the rotary switch.
No I didn't do this and thank you for having so much faith in me that you believed I'd know how to do it or think of it hahaha! But what it is, the white strip is exactly the same type of light and doesn't flash so I know it's not to do with the light but rather the pot.How fast are the red lights flashing? Once a second?
Did you test the red lights alone, by connecting ground and positive voltage to the respective leads and nothing else? Does it still flash?
I’m trying to have you find out if the white strip and the red strip ARE indeed the same type of light. There is a possibility that they are not.No I didn't do this and thank you for having so much faith in me that you believed I'd know how to do it or think of it hahaha!

Just tested the light, it's flashing a bit faster than 1 per second but not quite as fast as 2 per second. Turning the pot doesn't make the light flash any faster but if I turn the pot down completely the light turns off.
Yes mystery now solved, I have fired off an email. I hope I paid them via paypal which would give me a greater chance of getting my money back should I need it. Really not pleased but thanks for helping me check. Just need to get the white light on now.Do you still have the link for the red light that you bought? I suspect that either the vendor listed or sent the wrong item. Or we missed something in the description.
If you can, send the link and we’ll check it. You may have to ask for a refund and replacement.
Update: we cross-posted. You may have to find another listing and order another one. Hope you can find the order.
I don’t hold out that we can modify the one you have.
