can i join several light strips toguether so it can be 10 meters or 15 or 20 meters?

You can join up to 10 meters without any problems. After that its best to add additional power supply

Yes, though you have to make sure that your power source has the proper amperage to carry it. I'm sure that 10-15 meters is fine. Just make sure that you have enough power to supply the strips and aren't overloading the power source.

Yes they will need to be soldered together or linked with a coupler. But yes you can string them together.

You can use these: http://www.amazon.com/20pcs-Connectors-Strip-Lights-Insert/dp/B008LR35VK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1388815501&sr;=8-1&keywords;=led+pins+connectors but there may be a limit as to how many feet you can connect. From what I have researched it should work. I thought I read somewhere there was some limit as to the length. Only $1.99 for 10 of them.

yes, the recommendation is to only run up to 10 ft from transformer. You can run 2 strips ten ft in each direction from the transformer and get good lighting on 20 ft of lights. But you would need a second transformer for the 3rd set of lights.

Yes, this should just work for that distance. We would recommend a minimum of 12-gauge wire, with 8 or 10 gauge reducing voltage drop (dimming) at the last fixture.

It depends the distanced you want to split them to. The actual cable is long where you can separate the lights far from each other. Maybe if you buy an additional cable you can move to an entire separate location. Hope this helps.

It would be much easier & less expensive to buy a 5m (16.5ft) LED strip and cut it to the length you need. A 5M weather proof LED light strip is $9.99 here on Amazon ($0.61ft vs $1.75ft)

I don't recall actually measuring the strip, as I got these back in 2012. My project required 14. 3 feet (give or take), and I had extra left over. Also, just as an FYI a friend of mine used these to highlight a bar/lounge, and was able to plug three strips in series to one 12v AC/DC adapter. Good luck with your project.

Yes you should be able, I believe the system recommends not to exceed more than two 16ft strips join together.

I haven't looked at the lights in a while, but if I remember correctly, either every 3" or 9" there will be a spot where the strip is soldered (spelling?) together. At these points they can be cut and then have to wires or connecting piece soldered to the strip in the appropriate places. So I doubt 20, but you can probably have 18" or if the segments can be cut every 3" then 21"... Hope this helps!

We were able to use the larger size Command Strips but I would only recommend this when the base will be sitting horizontally. I don't know if the strips will be albe to hold the light vertically (like attached to the wall).

You have to buy separate strips of light and join them. I think in your original packing, they provide connectors also.

60 feet would use about 4 strips, you would need a 96-100 W power source and an amplifier between the second and third strip to prevent power drop off. As long as the control is plug in-line between the power source and the lights, it would control all the lights.
353819
Yes, I believe you should be able to do that. Make sure you do it inside a box or in a closed place so no other light source can interfere.

I have one light at 15' and another at 25' and both work. The 25' is through 2 walls, so I am sure it is more than that. I haven't experimented beyond that.
1761308
I don't think so but, if you can afford to experiment, see what happens. Me I thinke it might be wiser to use 2 sets of lights. with separate dimers. This would be the save way to do it.

I believe you can connect two end to end, but you cannot connect 3 or more end to end. I explored this question myself, though I did not do this, and it seems like once you use more than 2 strips (of 5 meters each) it would drawn too much power for the thin wires and things would melt. If I did this myself, I would first test it and see how hot the strips seemed to be getting before I would trust installing it. I would also not recommend doing this without some validation, since I am by no means an expert and would not want to be responsible for any mishaps.

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.
