How many lights can you safely add to this kit?

I think the number of lights that can safely be mounted on a track is going to depend on whether you are using LED or halogen bulbs, and how many light fixtures or other devices are on the circuit. The halogen bulbs that fit this use 50 watts. You could put 10 of them on the track for a total of 500 watts of electricity use, which would require 4.17 amps. Most lighting circuits have circuit breakers for 15 amps, but you really do not want to get anywhere close to a 15 amp load. I use LED bulbs which use only 5 watts for the same amount of light as the 50 watt halogens. So I could have 100 of them mounted and still use 500 watts total. But there is not enough space to fit that many on the track. The total track length is 48 inches, but you lose about 6" for the floating canopy head, leaving about 42 usable inches of track. If you allow 4" of track for each light fixture, you could mount 10 of the lights to a bar, and use only 50 watts with the LED bulbs. That would be a whole lot of light. Unless you know that you need a great deal of light for some special purpose, I would start out with one or two fewer lights than you think you will need; you can always buy more of the light heads and add them later if needed. And go with the LED bulbs to save on your electric bill and avoid the heat generated by halogens.

When you purchase a three light kit it will come with 13 inch links to join individual light fixtures. I'm not sure how many links come with the set. But to add three more lights to the existing three light fixture string you would need a total of three links. Note the product description and see what is contained within the set if that doesn't help you try to contact the distributor or the manufacturer. Hope this helps. Edwood

unless you plan to solder wires onto 5 tiny led bulbs, i suggest you just buy another one. :)

Depends on what you're trying to achieve. If growing low light plants you might want to have two of these lights. I don't think one light will be adequate, in my opinion of course.

I found kits listed on the internet that were cheaper than the kit you and I bought that had up to 12 bulbs in it. You can even go to a colored neon if you like (these were a little more expensive). I did not find a local source for the bulbs.

No, you cannot add a light kit because the entire lower section of the light turns, not just the blades. If you were to mount anything to the bottom cover it would spin with the blades and the wires would break causing a fire or electrical hazard.

There is only one place to attach a wire. I suppose you could double up a couple of wires and attach them that way, but the unit is meant to support just one. You could also use waterproof wire nuts or waterproof butt connectors and add a second wire that way. The way the lighting people look at it, the question is how many lights will the unit support, which is controlled by the wattage of the lights.

You will need more light, these are for effect. I have a light hood plus two strips of LEDs, possibly could use more.

I'm not sure? To insure you have a spare light or two simply buy a kit with more lights that you think you will need. These lights are very bright so I would suggest you temporarily attach until you get the lighting effect you want; then clean the attachment area with rubbing alcohol for the permanent attachment. Good luck... j.d.

Max two 16' 12v LED light strip lights per controller. The more you add the less effective the controller is.

I'm running 22 lights in line now off of one power supply. You can get an extra set without the power supply and add them to your string. If you want to run more than 24, then I recommend splitting the power source and using two power supplies.

The company says 8 is the max for the power supply that comes with the kit. I have 9 on one of them and it works ok. I'm pretty sure if you go to the manufacturer website you can get a bigger power supply that will power more than 8. They are nice lights for the money.

Richard, no, it is not too bright so if you do not have other lights I would suggest you go with 11 lights.

Not just one light u would at least need 2 but really 3 might be better. I have one on each side one down the middle with more if I need them. If u have a flash u might can get by with the one but if not u will have shadows on faces without light just behind u. Learned from doing just that. Got two for Christmas one year so that was plenty for a small room.

The kit i bought came with more than enough lights to do two turntables however they may be different color bulbs

I bought this kit last week but I need more light strips...Do I have to buy the entire kit or can I just buy the strips?

I have connected two lengths of these together without a drop in brightness . So I would think three should be fine. However, be advised that this kit does NOT come with the wall plug . The110 to12v you would need to buy separately. If I had not bought a kit from another vendor I would not have been able to use it.
