Anyone used this to connect a second run of wire off from the middle of primary cable run? I want to connect a second run of two lights to the first.

Yes, I have used it to run a second set of lights. It works well, however, it will not handle wire larger that 12 gauge.

E/C is where you connect the light too. I ran a electrical wire from one of my electrical box's at the end of the run, this way you can add another light.

There are only two wire leads at the end.....depending on your needed voltage output to power the lights , you could splice one wire into two units, but working with 12 volts, thats not going to be very bright....I would go with 2 harnesses...... good luck!

Hi More than enough if I counted my fingers correctly (ha ha) those two should draw less than 5 amps together(4.7 amps) this power supply will more than run the lights. You picked a good choice! I have one, love it! Oh! I almost forgot make sure you are using #14 gauge multi strand wire with an inline fuse holder with a 5 amp fuse it it blows go to 7 amp fuse.

I just tried it and I could not get it to do it. I don't know why you would want both on at the same time! If you want both on together then use 2 lights.

Yes, this can be used for one light circuit. I have two lamps on one circuit and it works just fine. I plan to add another two lamp circuit on another wall later.

Sure, easy to do. What I did was to run the power cable to each light, just be sure tohook them up in parallel and not series.

The light is polarity sensitive, red is positive, black is negative, check the polarity of your existing wiring, you may find black is positive and white is negative. Why you have 2 white wire? I'm not sure, one wire may possibly be suppling gound to another fixture... goood luck, Scott

clip off the dc jack and strip the two wire and connect to transformer wires, which usually you have to connect the red to red, black to black vs on other types of low voltage it doesn't matter. Just be careful of the run length. That (nor in my experience with the supplier) I can't answer, but if its not a long run, shouldn't be a problem. Steve, electrical contractor, Atlanta, GA, just saw another answer from Robert, what he said!

Only if you want to cut the wire and reconnect it. (Warning) if you cut the wire it is a fine wire and difficult to handle, reconnect, & strip the wire. You must do it taking your time. But it can be done. But I do not change my opinion of the light they are dim and not reliable.

I have one power source and split my lights after my dimmer in my kitchen. If the two strips are not too long it should be no problem. Before you mount the strips try it and see if the dimmer stays cool. The power source also has to be sized correctly.

I'm running 22 lights in line now off of one power supply. You can get an extra set without the power supply and add them to your string. If you want to run more than 24, then I recommend splitting the power source and using two power supplies.

Depends on if you want to run in series or parallel. I would recommend grounding them independent and using your current 12v "positive" wire to power them. Take the "hot" wire from your current light bar and splice the positive wire from these into it. If you're unsure which one is positive touch both leads to your battery they only work one way.

No, this is meant to connect line to line. A different connector is available to connect light to line.

wire one power supply to both ends 12v DC or 24vac works great / output switch can be NO or NC just move jumper / unit is aligned when LED is lit on receiver. The one with 2 wires is lamp and 4 wires is receiver / if near a window or slider signal may bounce off glass, A tube or tape may help to limit beam. Have fun : )

First, the unit won't operate unless you have an active ground connection. The instructions are poor in that they don't show the complete circuit to the light. Basically, run your power cable through the switch box to the light fixture; the black wires of the switch will be spliced into the black "hot" wire of the cable; the green wire of the switch will be connected to (but not interrupt) the ground wires of the cable. The white "neutral" wire will run only to the light - bad design in my opinion, because the switch uses ground instead of neutral to complete its control circuit, but apparently it meets electrical code or could not be marketed.

I used to control a contactor/relay that controlled the lights. I did not use in it in the direct wiring of the lights.
