I bought these little 25 LED light rings because I had a yen to make a couple of desk lamps like the Tolomeo Classic Task Lamp by Artemide. I'll make 'em from Siberian Elm I harvested on my property.
Anyway The website where I bought 'em said they are 9 - 14 Volts at 3 Watts
Yah somebody goofed up because there's no way that these things can run on 3W.
There's only two leads and EIGHT (this is EDITED) resistors rated with code 181 which means 180Ω.
I have a little variable PSU that goes up to 12 VDC at 3 Amps ( 3KW). It will not get the rings to light up.
So I'm a little stumped.
Any suggestions?

The package is entirely unhelpful with not one single word about electrical requirements - - unless it's in Cantonese
