Hi guys , just bought a hella 12v/24v hella plug and cigarette adapter to with usb x2 for my led lights in cab , which socket would be better to use , 12v or 24v , and yes I am that bad regarding electrical stuff ■■? TIA

If your lights are 24v then plug in 24v if not then 12v… simples [emoji38]

But remember not to plug any 12v stuff in if its on the 24v as it will go bang!!!

If the output is USB (as stated in the OP) it will be at 5V, which is what the LED lights will be designed to run on.

If the thing is marked as 12V/24V it can be used in either 12V or 24V sockets/■■■ lighters and the voltage regulator inside will provide a regulated 5V at the USB output.

Whether you’d trust a cheap Chinese no-name bit of kit to work safely/reliably is of course a whole different question!
