What light would you buy for $400 ish?

It's not 568a either

What exactly is the issue?

[Cory33]

I thought I had to match the colours of wires up with the proper terminals on the stereo jack. The problem is I can't really see all the colours of the pins I need to use inside the rj45. This I'm worried I could blow something up.

[RussM]

There are only two possible TIA568 pinouts with network cables - 568A and 568B. One of them should match your cable, but you said neither does... what doesn't match up?

[Cory33]

The one I got looks like this:

1Orange white, 2orange, 3green white, 4blue, 5orange white,6green, and last two look brown, but they are so hard to see.

[RussM]

That is the B variant.

[Cory33]

That's what I thought too but pin 5 looks like orange white when it should be blue white. You think it's just my eyes playing tricks?

I'll just wire it for B then?

[Cory33]

So according to the DIY link posted I understand I have to wire the stereo jack to pins 1,2 and 5 only on the rj45. Correct?

[Cory33]

I edited my post to:

I found out it is a 568b.
How I wired it:
White from stereo to orange-white of rj45. White-blue of rj45 to red of stereo. And orange of rj45 to silver wire (ground) of the stereo jack. Correct?

Unless apex has changed their "moon" lights they were the biggest waste of money . I love all my other APEX items and I have alot but their moon LED's were a joke, not near enough out put.

Ok so I bought the Kessil a360ne. I decided to not go with the AI hydra because I'm tired of the contrasty look of my led I have now. Plus I really wanted shimmer. What I'll do is buy the apex moonlights and moonlight module to provide that extra dim function the kessil lacks.

I'm wondering if I can buy the jack to connect to the apex from the kessil some place like radio shack. Anyone know?

I think I need a stereo jack to phono?
