LED lights

Advice needed ,if you please- 24vdc supply. I intended to extend a circuit that powers (4) small blue step lights LED. Purchased (2) fittings that seemed similar to existing. On completion the circuit works well except for the (2) new fittings.They only flash and flicker but keep running. My thoughts - are the new fittings wrong in specification ? I was assured that they were 24vdc on ebay ? Comments appreciated.

Re: LED lights

Hi Bob, which lights did you get? Wired in parallel?

Re: LED lights

Thanks Bob.
Parallel sounds perfect.
You may have to tell us which ones you got (ebay link or brand/model number) to help diagnose the issue. What happens if you run them only one at a time?
