Hi,

I purchased a LED strip light kit. It came with the controller and power bank.

Unfortunately I am struggling trying to figure out how to power them on. The LED strips have two wires, a red and a black. One side of the controller has four little slots where I think the red and black wires are supposed to connect (but might be wrong). If they are supposed to connect there, I don't know which of the four they should be connecting to.

And then for the power, the power bank has a normal round looking connector (a lot like a laptop charger connector), but the controller doesn't have a connector for it. The power bank came with this small adapter thing with the green block on it that looks similar to another green thing on the controller but I have no idea how any of it is supposed to join up.

Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.
