Im trying to light an led strip i bought off e bay I have the following set up exactly as pictured

My question is how do i connect it and what else do I need in order for them to work

Arduino uno and sensor shield with a relay module

Well, you will need a power supply (the Uno can't power the strip by itself). What voltage/current does the strip need? Is it RGB?

Also you will need a sketch. What do you want the sketch to do? How will it know when to activate the relay?

Many LED strips are 12V, but you do have to check this.

Well, you won;t get much light out of the LED strip without a power supply. As for how you hook it up... you don't really need the sensor shield unless you want to do more than light up the LED strip. You can hook up the relay module directly, and control it with the Arduino.
