Wiring a Cheap LED Fixture with Two Red Wires?

[tigeraid]

For the house, not the shop mind you... The wife bought a decorative LED light fixture to put in the living room. It came with no instructions, and all it has in the back is an LED driver with two unmarked red wires. Anyone run into this before?

I do see on the back of the driver what I THINK are labels indicating "L" and "N" for each wire. Is that line and neutral? So L would go to Black and N to white?

Just want to double-check before I set the place on fire...

Looks like a Chinese light. Thatdriver needs to be mounted inside an accessible box. Make sure it’s approved for whatever electrical code you have. In Canada it must be csa approved I believe.

Well it's inside the base of the light, which then mounts to the wall....

For this lamp either of the red wire will work connect one to you black and the other to the white.

Be sure to connect a ground to the metal part of the fixture.

Do not operate this fixture with a dimmer.

What kind of fixture is this? The driver appears to have no UL, CSA or ETL. That explains the 2 red wires. Wonder what else they got wrong. I wouldn't hardwire that into my house.

Starting to think that myself....
