I have 19' of lighted length. Based on specs I should order 2 strings, but some reviewers say it's shorter than advertised. Any thoughts?

There is only about 6 to 6 1/2 feet of lights with about 3-4 feet of blank cord per stand. You'll need 3 stands to do 19'. They are really nice so it's worth it.

Maybe, if you do lengthen the string, you will have to re adjust the spring tension, but you are limited to how much. Like Bryan said add a longer leader. That is all I have.

Email info@highseer.com with your request ASAP. They were very helpful when I ordered. They may even be able to send you different length line sets if the 16' aren't long enough (they're pricey, so best to get it figured out now).

I went out to get the lights which are still in the box to see if they looked to long for an 18 inch tree and I realized the seller had sent me a strand of 50 instead of 35. I didn't use them for the intended purpose so I hadn't noticed I was sent the wrong thing. Therefore I can't answer your question.

You have to pick the length to add it to your cart. 54" is listed. The number of strands should be matched to the draw weight. I'm no expert but both the 14 and 16 strand strings work fine on my 50# draw bear recurve.

I personally use Martin SPs lights. I find them reasonably easy playing and I like the sound. Mediums would sound louder but are harder to play. Martin makes a silk and steel string that is supposed to be easier to play than standard strings. They also have a new string out they call flexible core that bends easier and is also supposed to be easier on the fingers. I've not used either kind so couldn't say from personal experience, but I think they'd be worth a try, especially if ease of playing is your goal and not maximum volume. I find the lights are a nice compromise.

It doesn't appear so they are about 1' long anyway, most LED light strings that can be cut can only be cut ever X feet.

If they were very lightweight strings..like xmas lights I am inclined to think so. I don't see why they wouldn't as long as it falls within the weight guidelines listed.

Depends how far below the light it is. Within 12-18" probably. If you can with the wired version it will work better for longer timespans.

Alan, I was looking for additional heads as well, but went ahead a put my lights up on a 20' run and found things looked good and were well lighted. Each space is different, but if they are still in the box, put 'em up and you might be happy with what you see.

Unfortunately our 100 foot strings do not connect with each other. At 100 lights at 7 watts a piece, that 700 watts just on that string. For safety concerns we keep it at a 100 foot max. If you have any more questions just let us know. Thanks

If it's not 12 feet of lights it is close. You can add additional strings too. We love our lights and use them 365 days a year outdoors and normally get a few years of use before having to replace them.

There are designated "cut" spots along the length of the rope lights, we just measured them and they are 1 meter (about 3 feet) apart. Your first length will already be connected to the plug but if you want to use the remaining lights you'll need to get additional plugs or connectors. We needed a long piece to go inside the crown molding of our formal dining room and this fit the bill perfectly. The lights work great and look great.

Yes, but it is not recommended by dealers to go beyond 222'. Or 167' if you want to add a controller (add twinkle flash running, etc to these 2 wire light strings) Just use the included plastic connector to put the strands together. People have done it. But I would stick with the dealer recommended lengths.

Yes, I put two strings together. I suspect the limiting factor becomes how much wattage you ask of each string. I remember the info on the string said a total of 1500 watts of draw. I wound up using small led light bulbs that only drew about 8.5 watts each so I was well under the limit. I am no electrician so check with one if you are concerned but just don't overload the lines.

Yes, you should be able to shorten the length of the light, we had a different problem, we had to makeit longer and we were able to do that without a problem..You would just cut the wiring to the size you want and remove that many links...

I would return the whole string. We bought 8 boxes of these and haven't had any go out. It sounds as though that strand is defective.
