LED strip lighting even without a positive terminal connection
<< < (3/5) > >>
Adhith:
just shorted each of 10 output wires positive wires to the power ground through a 10K resistor and the problem is solved. I could move forward with this idea right?? also 10K resistor wont do much of power dissipation right? or should i try with a much more higher value for the resistor??

I don't think so. Never seen an LED lit this way. A good 50Hz must be huge.

I haven't seen this type of disturbance before but now I did. any how its only noticeable at dark and so probably I would have missed before

Are you sure it's not leakage to ground? That's totally different from AC coupling through the body.

Some modern LEDs can be seen glowing at insanely low currents in a dark environment...
