I just bought 2 LEDs for the first time, and i put the clip on the 9v battery and I put the two wires on the two outside wires, and it smoked and turned off and only flashed blue, not all the colors. First: Is the longest prong in the middle negative or positive? Second: Why are there 2 shorter prongs? Third: Why did that light burn out? Fourth: Whats the correct way of putting the red and black wires on? Fifth: Which wire of the red and black, is positive or negative
Thanksies so much
