My switch turns on lights from 50 feet. How can I reduce to 10 ft?

I think this is an abnormal behaviour. One of my switches are located next to the receiver and it works.

Agree with Eric. My switch is about 12 ft. away but before I "installed" it, I tested it at various distances.

Why would you need to reduce the distance? It should work the same from 5 feet to 200 feet.

Jack H. says it all in his response. For 50 ft length, 12 gauge is the minimum, 10 gauge wire would be better.

that length would be pushing it. as the light gets near its end it does get dimmer, so brighter near the light dimmer farther away. as far as light put out unsure, nothing on the instructions from the mfr. I have a yard 120 feet long, along that lenght I use 3 lights to see my dogs at night if that helps

Just lightly press the button on the end. It will change from strobe to SOS to dim to full power. If it clicks, you have pushed it too far.

I guess I don't fully understand the question. The footswitch is four feet from the fixture (light) and 15 feet from the wall socket.

There's a dial you can turn it to whichever length you want from 30sec to 10min I think. Also another dial for sensitivity of light for how bright the around it to trigger the motion. If there's enough light motion will not turn your light on

I put a 20 amp switch ahead of the unit to turn it off. It works as a "kill switch". I know of no other way of solving your problem...

I would get a led dimmer (wireless)and connect it in the line so u can control the entire lights with that dimmer.

Depending on the angle, I have gotten mine to turn on as far as 30' away. Had a problem with one light not turning off, other two are fine though.

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

I used speaker wire light gets dimmer after halfway unless you attach wires to opposite end. But still bright enough to hurt yoir eyes if you stare at it.

I would just remove the dimmer and plug directly into a switch-controlled outlet. You could use a dimmer switch to control the outlet, which would accomplish your objective.

I just did a project where I set up a set of 10 lights (one 300 tape in 10 pieces) with the furthest approximately 50 feet out. Splicing into the line where needed. There's no significant brightness drop along the line. I didn't measure voltages though if you're looking for precision.

The lights can be shortened. I was able to do it. You'll need to cut to fit, reattach (or terminate) the wires with electrical connectors, and use tape to seal from the elements.

500 feet? I seriously doubt it. It's designed to be in the same room as the light source. The switch doesn't even have a power source of its own. It uses the energy from pressing the button to transmit the signal, so I don't think this has the range you're long for.

Thank you for contacting us.You can only reduce the length of this light by hiding the wire inside the ceiling cover of this light.

The switch is about 24" from the plug. I have them plugged into an outlet that works off a light switch so I leave it turned on and then shut the light switch off.
