I have a Reefi uno that I am adding to a T5 hybrid fixture. The light wont fit when the adaptor is connected to the light. I need to buy a DC right angle adaptor in order for it to fit. I did so on ebay and it didnt work. Light would not turn on. Im not an eletrical guru but Im sure it has to do with the type of power and amount being supplied. Would someone be able to help me out? I need a 5.5mm x 2.5mm dc right angle adaptor. Below in the pics is some info if needed

You don't show the adapter you got. 26v 7.7A is significant, but that's also the absolute maximum. A dimmed light fixture does not need a lot of current.

Here is the adapter. This needs to go on the actual LED light to fit i to the fixture.

It seems like its about to turn on and it doesnt. I do hear like a clicking sound as if energy was being given to something. Kind if the same sound when you plug in an outlet over and over again quickly.

It does look thin and I wouldn't use it with the 7A fixture. But again, the fixture should light up at low intensity setting with this adapter.
 
Ok checked again. When I connected the adapter to the light it seems fine but when I connect the power to the adapter its definitely loose. Im confused cause I got the right size. Maybe its because of the quality?
