Can I splice between lamps to extend for my application? If so, what size wire do I use?

I really do not know. You would be increasing the resistance of electrical flow by increasing the length of wire if you should splice it. Whether or not there is enough voltage etc to overcome this resistance I do not know. Perhaps an electrician can give you a quick answer or ask the question on a web search.

Yes you can although the instructions say you can't. I used 2-conductor 16 AWG direct burial wire ("16-2 landscape wire") to go from the transformer to the path where the lights are. You can also use it between lights. I went about 50 feet. If your run is longer (more than 50 feet) you might want to go to 14 AWG or even 12 AWG. For the splice I used the underground wire twist connectors, which are supposed to be waterproof. I installed my system last fall and haven't had any problems with it through rain or regular sprinklering. Be aware though that they lights don't put out much of a radius. Even using the distance of the supplied cables between the lights (about 5 feet between lights when I alternate sides of the path) the radius of light from one light does not overlap the other. If you need continuous lighting you will want them close. For more of a decorative look it will be fine though.

I have 7 of these sets in operation for a few months and I am very pleased with performance. I did not splice additional cable in my application as the approx. 10 feet between lamps was sufficient. I read reviews where purchasers indicated that they had spliced additional lengths of cable and it worked fine. I have seen low-voltage cable for landscape lighting sold in Home Depot, so that is what I would use if doing this myself. Note that the Brinkmann connectors are keyed such that they will only fit in one position......... so I assume that correct polarity of your spliced connection is important.

Yes. Each segment can be inserted in the previous one, to a certain point. This will change the length but also the height of the lamp.

Hi Cyndi, I don't feel those are made to interconnect, as x-mas light would (there's no connection on the last light and the first is connected to a 6' power cable). I use mine under an awning with a 8' span but feel that I could extend it to 15', max. All in all, doesn't sound as a good choice for you.

I think what you are trying to do will work. The sensor and the lamps are adjustable in multi direction. You just need to be sure to shield the sensor from the lights and you will be ok.

There is not an extension tube available that I am aware of. If you were able to make something work, wiring will need to be lengthened as well.

I am not to well versed in this matter, I do know though that the bulbs come with two different connections and either can be used. Just use the one that fits and leave the other to dangle. Hope this helps.

This one worked great for me, just follow the instruction on how to wire it up. Your present lamp may be wired a different way, I mean white orred or black wires may go different places, do as the instructions say and put the wires with the right ones and it will work perfect.

I want adapter to go over a brass fitting on a table lamp . Can u help me with sizes please ?

Sorry, I can't be definate. But, the ballast interchanged perfectly, just remove and attach the old wire terminations. A wiring diagram is on the cover of the ballast. The bulb sockets themselves are unchanged.

The light string is not designed to be shortened. The only way is to cut and terminate the wire. The sockets are fixed and cannot be moved either. This is a great light set, however. Well made. I installed under my patio cover and use a dimmer switch.

You need longer wire....but it comes with maybe 1 inches of wire. I spliced 5 lights into one wire that goes to my battery and a toggle switch

The leads on mine are about 5". I suspect it varies but sounds like they're making them shorter. Save 1" to 2" per light and that's a lot of wire over several hundred lights. Personally I don't care as I replace the lead-in wire provided with a cord long enough to go to the main feed or termination box because I don't like having an extra splice in each light run.

This is a more complex problem than it would seem. I tend to use overkill when sizing wire to a given load. In addition, a friend replaced all of my fixtures original quartz halogen bulbs with LED's that draw less current. And generally speaking, it is not just the load in amperes, but the length of the wire run in feet that determines the wire gauge needed. I would suggest that you employ someone with knowledge in electronics to size and determine your layout. This is especially true if your layout is complex and heavily loaded. I wish I could be of more help, but I have to hire an electrician. Good luck!

The light and the harness both have bare wire ends so just use an inline connector and a pair of crimpers to splice them. You could also use a wire nut if you want but the inline connector will allow the wire to remain in a straight line.

I am far away from home right now or would tell you the size of three wire. It is fairly heavy-duty, I'm guessing 4 Guage With heavy waterproof covering. I see no reason why you couldn't splice the wires.

The leads from each lamp have those fittings that clamp onto the feed wire - I used them and had no problem. However I assume you could cut off the leads and splice the leads into the main feed wire (would take a lot of time for each lamp). If the press fittings fail in the future, that will be my cure.

The wire that comes with it not long enough for a pole lamp. I am not 100% sure; however I believe everything else will work.
