The term, 'negative voltage', refers to its direction and has nothing to do with 'negative' in the 'charge' sense. It's used to indicate the direction in which a voltage is acting in relation to another voltage ('positive' if acting in the samedirection; 'negative' if acting in the opposite direction). So your question is confusing: 'negative' in relation to what?

You are wiring a LED lamp through a transformer you have a polarized plug and you know positive and negative The transformer is marked live and neutral Does live correspond with positive or negative?

LED's are DC voltage. Transformers are AC voltage. There is no positive or negative on AC voltage. You would need a diode to change the AC to DC, then there would be positive and negative voltages.
