Will this unit handle 70' of LED rope lighting?

Better check if the rope light is for 120V or 12V. This unit is for 12V output.

It will depend on the wattage total for 70" and the total wattage output of the transformer. In this case I used a 30 watt xfmr. Check the ratings for the lamps..

No because each 16.4 string of leds take 2 amps and 70 foot would be about 4.25 strings which comes out to be 8.5 amps total draw and the dimmer can only handle 6 total amps.

I had an electrician hang the lights -- I'm afraid I don't have the answer to the question. I will try to get an answer for you.

I think it would be a tight fit. I originally got this for our Christmas lights and i think i was only able to get 3 strands which i think is 75 feet on towards the end the light were hanging off

Yes, we use it for controlling our overhead deck lighting which is comprised of 3 light strings [ie: about 60 light bubs in total]. Works great.

Hello, I believe it would light up without any problems, my light shines down on the ground with about a 10 foot circle on the ground. As for the thickness, I am not sure. I have mine on a 20 ft telescoping pole.

I have wired the light direct thru some cable first at least 6 feet,they will work up to the 30 watts.

Can you connect 3 24" direct wire fixtures to one another to make a continuous 72' long light ? Or does each fixture have to be wire separately?

We do recommend that you use support for the 100 ft sting. The weight of the bulbs and the string will require some reinforcement. Thanks

It should work just fine and it puts off very little heat. The LED's are directional so pay attention when installing the rope. You might want to install it in an un-lit room and be sure to have the rope "on" when installing it. If you want a "glow", then point the LED's away from the ceiling. Otherwise you will see a small brightspot on the ceiling at every LED location. There are small, clear installation clips available for the rope and I recommend installing them 16" apart

To the best of my knowledge you have a different problem: Instructions say to not extend one 'string' of LEDs to greater than the standard reel length because the conductors on the flexible strip can not handle greater currents. So if you are going longer than one reel, you need to power that separately.

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.

If your LED fixture has hooks that you can latch onto, and it doesn't weigh more than 70lbs, should work just fine. Most fixtures have some sort of hanging hooks that come with them.

Yes, very nice structure to the fixture, and we are currently using a CFL, there should be plenty of clearance for a LED as well.

it is a slim wire rope, yes I belive it would it would do fine on a slope ceiling. I Love my light it gives a pretty warm glow.

It all depends on what you're using for lighting. If you're using the flexible LED rope lights, make sure you look at how many watts it's going to draw. If you're not sure, I wouldn't use anything smaller than 16 gauge wiring. But you also want to make sure that this transformer will also supply enough power for you, too.

If it is only 120 watts and a total of 4 lights then yes, you could use a smaller gauge exterior cord. I would recommend that you not leave the connection point where your lights plug in not be in an area that water may build up. 16/3 cable will handle up to 10 amps and be sufficient for your needs.

This system works up to 70' so as long your working with an area less then that you should be fine.
