Can this product be used with a rope light or string of small "Christmas" lights (not the new LED ones)?

If they are incandescent lights (glass bulbs with tungsten filaments), yes, they will will work regardless of how many there are or how big they are. You just need to stay under 300 watts total.Some LED lights will work also, if they are dimmable, but LED compatibility with a dimmer depends on the LED lights and the dimmer, and not all combinations work correctly for all levels of dimming.

I don't know. The directions say to use an incandescent. I use mine with a 3 way bulb on high. sorry not going to be much help with that question l.

I am guessing it will work with almost anything that can be plugged into a regular outlet and accept varying voltage. It comes on slowly but does not go off slowly - when the time is up it goes off.

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Anything with a two-prong standard plug should work as far as I can tell.

Yes it should be fine, but I think these are best for small items so I wouldn't use for much more than lights. You should get a piece of paper saying which one is which in the box

It does not work with LEDs. The LED, even when off, glows dimly. I had two of these for incandescent rope lights. When I upgraded to LED rope lights they do not go off completely. I am still looking for a simple solution for controlling LED lights.

Yes, and No. You can wire them up in a string, but if you're thinking of just connecting one to the next, that won't work. You can run only 3 of these in series using a current limiting resistor with a 12 V supply. What you can do is run several of these 3 LED strings, sort of one after another, but the wiring would be a bit trickier than just daisy chaining them. You may have noticed that some Christmas light strings have 3 or 4 wires in the string and they are achieving something similar to what I am describing. I don't know how to attach diagrams to this response, so I can't send you a schematic. Ledcalc.com is a good resource for figuring out the current limiting resistor value. It will even show you a basic schematic, which would need to be modified to get the string layout you want. The amount of time these would run depends on the capacity of the battery (which you didn't state), but generally they would run somewhere between many hours and several days continuously. Due to the rather narrow beam pattern of super bright LEDs you will probably be disappointed in the effect. For a decorative effect, you'd really want LEDs with a much wider beam pattern. Christmas light strings that run on 12V DC are sold and might have the lighting effect you desire without all that messy learning about Electronics, Mathematics, and soldering, It would be a plug and play solution, therefore quicker and easier for you. Perform a Google search for 12VDC Christmas lights. Interestingly, the first hit is for a set sold right here on Amazon.

Yes, but be careful you don't exceed the wattage of the LampLinc module. I use one of the ApplianceLinc modules for my Christmas Lights.

Hi Laurie,No, it is not the size that fits the christmas tree string lights. Bulbrite item 132506 is 3.31 inches long! Tess,

Yes, easily. This supplies up to 200 watts of power. LED Christmas lights only need 1-2 watts per string, and old-fashioned bulb Christmas lights use around 10 watts. Really, I would probably get a cheaper lower watt inverter for that, unless you have other stuff you might also want to plug-in.

Yes because the two ends can connect together; so you can connect to the light from the panel or to any number of other like extension cords and then to the light. You can string them together, yes.

i'm sure you could if you find one small enough. i just used a clear christmas light bulb. you can only use up to 6 watts and the screw in part is really small. hope this helps..

Yes, but for Christmas Lights, I recommend the Appliance Link over a LampLinc. Better not to have the capability to dim as some strands of tree lights need consistent, full voltage.

I don't see why not. The only problem is the tendency of Christmas lights to get hooked onto each other even when the cord isn't tangled.

I do not believe this is advertised to be used both indoors and outdoors in the same way that you might use certain types of Christmas lights and extension cords either inside or outside. Personally, I would not use it outdoors.

I am sorry but I cannot answer your question since I do not have a prewired Christmas tree, however, I checked with my son-in-law who has a prewired tree. He said it will work as long as the tree has incandescent bulbs. It will not work on a tree that has LEDs.

I would choose another light. The soldering on this light looks like a child did it. But as far as the size, it might work.

I strung two together, these are just like your standard Christmas light strands, one male plug on one end, a female on the other. Not sure of there is a limit on how many you are allowed to string together.

You can the mini deep dome lights from Zoo Med, but I wouldn't suggest a standard one. They're too wide and the dome itself would sit on the plastic crossbars, potentially melting them if you use too strong of a bulb.
