Are these gels easy to cut to fit a fixture that is about 4 inches and round?

I didn't cut mine, I just taped it to my fixture; but yes, they would be really easy to cut to size.

Yes, I use them in my LED landscape lights, which are about 4" and round. I take out the glass to mark a circle on the plastic with a marker, then cut.

I would think so. I would have to measure my lights but they should be 4" and the rubber boot take up the difference. I have never seen any other use for a hole that size but for 4" lights. I have put the 4" lights in everything I have without checking the hole diameter and they worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. they are flexible and with a heavy scissors could be cut to a smaller size. I have not tried it but I think that would work, as they are not shaped on edges just flat.

hello,the mats are very flexible, I haven't cut mine, but I don't see why they couldn't be sized with scissors to fit your need:-)

No not these but you can cut them to fit perfectly in the space you are intending them for and they fit snug.

Not with these LED's. The clips might have trouble grabbing a one inch thick piece, but if you cut your hole really close I thing they will.

the lights can be cut (show by 4 gold spots with a line for ease). it adds a bit of thought and time spacing them out, but you can make the light spread out nicely this way. you'll need solder, soldering iron, proper wire and a little skill, however.

Yes, it's easy to cut any of the shapes. Save the extra, too. I make them last as long as I can.

That is true, for some fixtures. I had to remove a retaining ring in the fixture to get them to fit.

These would not be easy to trim. Good new is they are clear in the event they show. But they are a bit thick and that would be very hard to cut.

I know what you mean. I bought these for an outdoor fixture and holds 3 bulbs. Luckily they fit fine and I am very happy with them. After that I bought a similar set for a new ceiling fan with a light fixture. The bulbs were too long! I couldn't put the glass over them. So, I took a bulb out to the garage and tried to cut the tip/top off it. The heck saw could barely scratch the plastic! It is some super stuff! Not to be out-done by the clear plastic, I got out my Dremel tool with a disc cutter that would go though metal. Wow, it was tough to make even a small cut. So I went around the bulb, over and over, using the Dremel to cut a slight groove in the plastic. All of a sudden the top broke off. It also left a crack down the side of the clear plastic. I tested the bulb and it still worked, so I cut a small disc of plexi-glass to glue over the top. I glued it on with Goop, and put some on the crack as well. I did two bulbs for that lamp with the same results. This was several months ago and they still work fine. Why are they so long?

Yes. The strips can be cut to a different width. I've never tried cutting them but the material looks like it could easily be cut. I usually just leave an overhang.

No I believe they are for T5 fixtures only. The bulb is very small in diameter making the end pieces different than that of a larger bulb. However T5 fixtures are very energy efficient and cheap to buy. Several available here on Amazon or home improvement centers. Any T5 fixture of the same length will work.4 foot fixture in this case.

They are 25 1/2 inches without the metal coupler. Yes, they are very easy to cut. Be sure to wrap masking tape around them to resist splintering. A dremel with a cutting wheel worked great.

Dr. Turner, these lights cannot be trimmed. Therefore utilizing the (4) 10 ft. sections would likely be your best bet.

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.

Yes, they are very easy to cut. I cut several using a jigsaw. I would assume a hacksaw would work as well.
