I need 40 feet to do the job I want--is it possible to trim 10 feet off the 50 ft roll and have the lights still work or should I connect 4-10 footers

No! Cant trim. Perhaps just coil the xtra 10'.Also I personally would not care for 4-10the footers.

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

It's not reccomended to connect longer than 5 meters back to back. The reason is simple, the strip is carrying all of the current and obviously has a limit. That's the official answer, but in reality you might be able to get away 10 meters (2 rolls of this) That means if you source the power supply in one corner you could feed 2 long strips in opposite directions. The point is, the LED at th far end of the strips are going to see voltage drop and be dimmer. Further 4 strips is a LOT of 12 volt current. You are better off running shorter lengths with individual supplies for each 5 meter run.

I have used 50 ft of Quad shield cable and worked good as long as You ovoid fluorescent light fixtures.

Supposedly. They're designed to be cut to length. But if it's for outdoor use, they don't hold up well so make sure its not a big project to put them up. There should be instructions included that describe where to cut the lights so that they'll still work.

We had to splice in more electrical cord length to allow the lamp to hang over our dinning room table but didn't need to add to the chain. The chain looks long enough to drop the 5 feet you are looking for. My husband just added the length to the light bulb end to make sure there was no tension on the cord there.

The power source that came with your LED roll should power up to two LED rolls (16ft each), the repeater will also power up to two (one line coming in and two lines going out (being repeated)). If you need 48ft then you would 3 LED rolls and 1 repeater. 1st LED roll connects to the power source / controller, 2nd roll to the end of the 1st LED and the other end in the repeater IN, third LED roll connects to the repeater OUT. You would still be able to attached a 4th LED roll to the 2nd repeater Out- if you wanted an additional 16ft (64ft total). Hope this helps... good luck!

Are you running 3 full standard 16.4ft, 150 led rolls/strips equaling 49.2 feet? Each strip is 3 Amps witch means the power supply must be 12v 9 Amps minimum. If you are over 49.2 feet you might need a stronger power supply or add another amplifier to the run. The amplifier output reads 12A but I've noticed that all diagrams never show more the two strips per amplifier. Good luck

Hi Lois, I believe it is 50' but I needed longer so I took the cable I got with the lamp set and went to the hardware store and got the additional cable I needed then spliced it together. It worked fine and I've never had a bit of trouble. Donna

No. Sorry I was off mark in my previous response, I was inadvertently looking at wrong item. You get what you pay for. These lights just aren't wearing well and the sensor isn't particularly responsive on 2 of the 3 I purchased, and to the best of my knowledge, not distance adjustable. No worries tho; these def don't go 30 feet.

you can cut rope light every 40 inches. So you can cut it to exactly 40 feet, but you have to add for the connector and AC chord. So it depends on how precise your 40 feet opening is. There are marks on the Rope liteshowing where to cut. If you intend to use the remaining rope light you might as well order an extra AC chord.

You will need to purchase a 50A SB power pole housing and add your own wires with ring terminals on them. We recommend to use #10 gauge, and limit the additional distance to &lt; 5 ft.

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.

I think so.i use d the controller to connect 2 rolls of led light 16 feet. More roll u need more ampHope i answer ur question

As a matter of fact I used 6 x 50 watt lights. I took the line of 100 feet and cut in half and have about 50 feet going in each direction attached to the Power Supply. The supply is attached to the back of a tree out of sight. I screwed a piece of wood, 1/2" x 3" x 12" to the rear of the tree to prevent sap from dripping and collecting on the power supply. I hand wrapped the two ends of the wire together and attached to the power supply, 50 feet going each way. It is working very well.

You get 16 ft of track you can make it shorter if you want to. You could add more fixtures as they snap on track and you can position them where you want them just not sure wires could handle the power needed.

I have one set of cabinets that is 60 inches long (5Ft) and I use 4 of the 8" strips to light that area and it is more than sufficient. That would indicate that the ten strips provided would easily light your 12Ft. You get 85 inches of light strips in this kit than figure approximately 2 inches between strips with the short connectors ( order enough of these) . Unless you are performing surgical procedures this should be plenty of light on high setting. You can always order them individually from this vendor should you want to expand the lighted area. That is one of the real nice things about this system...flexibility!!

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.
