There isn't exactly much to go on so I suggest trying 5v. If that doesn't not work it must be 12v.

Try 5v before 12v otherwise you may blow the LED. You wont do any damage feeding a 12v LED 5v, it just wont light.

Also try the 5v polarity both ways before trying the 12v.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've twisted and turned the thing for 15 minutes without finding any info about the LED.
I hade the same idea about first trying 5v but probably wouldn't have tried changing the polarity. I'll give it a go.
Thanks again.
