This really is not a car-related question though I guess we could make it
into one:

I have some 24VDC outdoor LED lighting and the wall-plug type transformer
is defective.  I cannot determine which of the two fine wires that run to
the appliance (LED's) is positive.  I can find a replacement transformer
online.

Here's the question:  I understand that LEDs are polarity-sensitive and if
I wire them up backwards will I destroy the LEDs or can I simply reverse
the polarity?

Best--Michael Oritt
