can these light be cut and power cord added?

Yes, although we did not use this option. There are power cords and glue sent with the package to accommodate your needs if so desired.

yes it can be cut . mostly all brands of rope light are made to be cut . if you look at the rope light up close somewhere there will be a dotted line where it will say cut . some brands of light rope have 12 inch cut marks some have as many as 42 inches . but you can cut it . and add another power cord.ways in

Yes, but you must cut at specific points on the rope and then add the power cord to create whatever length you need.

Yes, every 3 foot or so there is a place to cut and they give you 2 extra power cords. You do not get to choose where to cut, it is marked on the tube. I had 12 foot left over and added a power cord to the leftover... it works

You can splice the lights with longer outdoor landscaping wire, but you ruin any warranty and run the risk of electrical malfunction. Also keep in mind these are designed as low voltage lights intended for use with a transformer...not direct wiring to AC.

Can be done. Did it in one locationThis is a 2 person job. Expensive light to drop. Good luck.

Yes. In between each of the light sets is a cut line. You can cut it there without a problem.

Not directly, no. But it's easy if you just get a good quality extension cord long enough to reach the wall outlet, cut off the female end, split the two wires (carefully remove the rubber coating exposing the wires) and use plastic twist plugs and black electrical tape to connect them to the wires on the light unit. That's what I did several years ago; I placed it above a tall (9') bookcase and plugged it into a power strip that plugs into the wall outlet; it still works great.

Need a transformer feeding a power cord to which the lamps attach where you want them.

It isn't an "add on", in the details it's listed as "Power Source Wired Electric"which means you would have to hard wire it to another fixture using 14 gauge wire from the hardware store.

When you cut then you have to solider them to the next string of lights or you can buy the ledSplice connectiers and they clip together, but I would recommend you solider the connection the clip that holds them together sometimes come loose, As for power for the lights you have to buy the power supply separately or buy the led set with the a c adapter included,

Only if they are powered separately. If you have one on the first light, it should cut the power to everything after. Wiring would need to be daisy-chained.

Sorry I dont know the specifics but I had my contract install these, twice. He purchased extra low voltage wire so we could expand it and we added addt'l individual lights from the manufacturer from Home Depot to add to the system. So I know it can be done and according to him pretty simple. These have worked out really well for us.

Yes, but it will require some extremely basic electrical skills; ie stripping wire. Figure out how much you need and then add 4-6 inches to keep in the light fixture (this is a common practice). Once you know your length plus the 4-6 inches, adjust your base so that you have your desired length on the correct side, and the excess on the other. Measure 4-6 inches on the back side of the base, and cut. Next, you want to strip the outer plastic to expose the wires. Take a pocket knive, scissors, or box cutter and cut around the the plastic outer layer. You want to cut this so that you can easily pull it off without cutting the plastic in the individual wires. Pull the outer sheeth off and remove and paper or string filler. Next take a pair of strippers (purchased at any home improvement store) and strip 1/4" off the edge of the wire. That's it! There should be a ton of YouTube vids on how to do this if you need a visual

They are hard wired in our application as pendent lights over a kitchen island. You could add a plug and power them that way if need be.

As long as (and this might sound obvious to some, but I never assume) you cut off the end opposite the power cord. Its not like Christmas lights where if one goes they all go. Make it as long or short as you need.

No, they're two different style light strips.the only way would be to cut the ends and soldier the together..that's what I did.

I cut the plug off and stripped the two wires. Then I attached them using butt connectors to wires from a 12 v battery. There are power supplies available on Amazon to fit these lights if you are using them in a 110 v environment as well.

I used the enclosed power cube with wires and spliced the wires to a three-prong power cord. Match the colors on the wires of the power cube to the colors of the wires in the power cord. You can buy a power cord or just cut the end off of an existing one. The splice won't fit in the power cover supplied so it can't be used for this purpose. It's ugly but functional.
