How long of a run can each rail handle with 20- 5watt lights on each? Can you splice at 50ft and add another 50ft run with 10 - 5watters

In order to properly answer your question, you must also take into consideration the size of cable you are using. Bigger is better when it comes to the cable leading from your power pack out to your lights. If you are using 1) 300 watt circuit of this power pack, along with 12 gauge or 14 gauge cable, then you should be able to accomplish your task, but not so much if you are using 16 gauge or 18 gauge cable. Of course this could change if you are using a different power pack than is shown here.

I wish I could answer this question, but it's a bit above my pay grade. I have a trusted "fix-it" person who handles such things for me. I do know there's one run on that particular transformer that's well over 50 feet long, and it has a splice in it. I know this because the spliced part was added later, when I wanted more lights in a new flowerbed. I hope this helps.

It would not be a problem as long as you you HD cable.My run is 200 ft on each side of my drive way and the lights are bright.

That should be no problem but I would be sure to use a heavier cable such as 12mm rather than 14mm.

I ran one 50 footer with 30 and 20 watt bulbs and a second 100 footer with 20 watt bulbs (about 8-10 on each) works fine.

It's not recommended to to use more then 50ft per run because it will decrease the brightness of the additional lights.

Yea, just use a single throw 10 amp DC switch (there some that Amazon sells) which will allow you the ability to add more lights if needed.

The light is composed of 4 - 4 foot pieces. If connected together the fixture would, indeed, be 16 feet. However, you can use 1, 2 or 3 of the pieces as well. For my application i needed 3 pieces and used all 5 lights on the 12 foot length. I did not attempt to add more than the 5 lights provided - the manufacturer would have to answer whether that was safe or not.

I am using the 60w adapter to connect two of the 5 meter hitlights units together (Linked at the bottom of my reply). It works fine. I opted for the 60w adapter, because the 5m hitlight LED strips are 1.5 w/ft, and they are 16.4 ft long, which actually totals 24.6 watts. A 48 w adapter probably would work, but I opted for a little insurance room. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GL5R56/ref=ox_ya_os_product_refresh_T1

You might get away with "custom" light strings 11-52. The extra lights 10-47 are fine with it.

Debbie,They attach by clips to an electrical line connected to a transformer. I run 9 lights on about 50 ft loop alone my backyard pathway; they work fine. Be sure after you clip them to your electrical line that you wrap the clip connection with electrical tape to make sure that the connections stay dry. I have had mine two years with no problems. Good luck.

With 100 bulbs at 5 watts each, each string is going to use 500 Watts. If you did splice two together, you'd be using 1000 Watts, but the wire they chose is "959 Watts Max".

If you are asking if you can pull more than 1000w of electricity out of one ballast, then the answer is no. If you want to only run one of your two lights at a time (light A on for 12 hours while light B is off, and vice versa), then the answer is yes. You can do that with almost any ballast.

Yes, you should be able to shorten the length of the light, we had a different problem, we had to makeit longer and we were able to do that without a problem..You would just cut the wiring to the size you want and remove that many links...
1273947
Sure you could. But watch your amperage on the lights, this wire may be too light if you try to run to many.
1576560
Sure you can, they are 10 watt each. However these lights can't be used underwater as advertised. I have several and did get some replacements because they are not designed to work underwater. You need to encase them in something that I have not found yet. They mainly leak around the electrical grommet.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to cut the lights, separate them and then join them back with wire, making the total length longer. If this is what you want to do then the answer is yes. Make sure you cut where the white line is on the led strips and then strip plastic to expose the wire and solder your additional wire to the led wire. The lights will need a 12 volt power supply and I also added a dimmer to control how much light. They are very bright.

I have been mounting them in the light fixtures themselves or splice box close by. I do not have a specific answer for you but I would keep it close....say 10 feet. You would have to check with the Mfg.The distance would depend on the wire gauge and load being attached. Sorry... can't be more specific.

Since this is a 200 watt unit, it should be able to handle a total of 20 fixtures of 10 watts each (halogen walk lights). However, depending on the gauge and total run extent of the servicing cable, somewhat less would be supported. These limitations are nearly eliminated if you utilize newer LED bulbs.

Sorry I dont know the specifics but I had my contract install these, twice. He purchased extra low voltage wire so we could expand it and we added addt'l individual lights from the manufacturer from Home Depot to add to the system. So I know it can be done and according to him pretty simple. These have worked out really well for us.

When you cut then you have to solider them to the next string of lights or you can buy the ledSplice connectiers and they clip together, but I would recommend you solider the connection the clip that holds them together sometimes come loose, As for power for the lights you have to buy the power supply separately or buy the led set with the a c adapter included,

Yes you can put 5 lights in one place and then 5 lights in another if your ground wire is long enough without using 2 transformers. If your wire isn't long enough you may splice on enough wire to make it so. Be sure the wire you are adding is the same size as the wire you are splicing onto or poof thar she goes. Donna
