LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes. Diodes are one way 'valves' for electricity. If wired backwards, they won't light. I'd try switching wires first to be sure it's wired properly. You might also test that (+) and grounds are working.

Dfreiberger from the instruction sheet for the bulb.
" Note: LEDs are polarity sensitive. If the handle does not light try reversing
the connections."

I added the light to my handle and wired it direct to the accent light on the floor which turns on when the porch light is on. No luck. It will not illuminate. Is there something I am missing? I assume the LED lights for the handle are 12v? Any help would be appreciated.

Smile Lit Handle

Wow!!! It works. Who would have thought the white wire needed to connect to the black and visa versa. Now I am going to have to switch out my outside light bulb to LED so they will match. Thanks for the assistance.
