I am unable to read the printed directions and can't find them online. Are there tiny removable end caps? Does the wire insert easily into a strip?

Yes there very small plugs on each string of lights. The short jumper cable connect between each light strip. These plugs will pull, they may be tight, but they will come out. A very small screwdriver will help. You could also use a small pair of needle nose pliers. Hope this helps. Paul

I don't recall if there are end caps or not, but you do want to check the pins carefully. Some of the pins were bent on the set I received so I had to straighten them before inserting the wire. This may be your case as well if the wire doesn't insert easily.

They do come with end caps that go on, and come off easily. Also, the plugs, (at the wire ends) are very simple.

The end caps are easily removed and the wired extensions work great. The lights are brighter than I expected.

The wire between the hard plastic ends can be cut and additional wire can be spliced in if you have the skills. However if you had to ask this question are probably not qualified to cut and extend the wires by splicing in additional wire length. Seek a professional electrician or experienced electronics hobbiest to assist you.

I would recommend pin connectors. As mentioned in some of the reviews, the openings for each of the cable terminations are quite small. I ultimately had to remove approximately 40% of the strands, solder and then pinch the wire flat to be able to fit them into each of the holes. If I had pin connectors this would have likely have been a better way to go. Have not had a chance to provide feedback yet but this was a very painful exercise and I will reflect this in my summary. Other than this the unit seems fine.

There is a terminal strip in the side box. You can wire your own cord using standard 3 wire cord (cut the end off an old computer power supply cord). Use cgb or strain clamp at the 1/2 inch conduit inlet in the bottom of the box.

The tips do unscrew, and if you look at the picture the bottom unscrews off the purple, but I can't see how the wire is connected. They are so well made a would bet they are soldered. Sorry I can't help more.

Ah - perhaps you've never encountered a multi-way binding post. If you unscrew the terminal enough it will expose a hole in the post. Slide bare wire into the hole and screw the cap back down tightly. Or like I said, use banana plugs. Find a banana plug tutorial on youtube.

Thanks for answer - and for person who asked question.We wondered what that wire was for also. It's not listed anywhere in the instruction manual.

You have to cut the end of the strip and make the 4wire's to show. Some times the color of the wire's s are not the some as the wireless controller. You have to be careful when striping the wire. The wires are very small.

You can cut the strips at certain contact points( I think it was every 3 LEDs). From there you can either solder on fresh wires or use premade connectors to the contact points,(+) and (-). It's not complicated at all and easily done.

I am replacing an existing one and I had one red wire that was capped off. I hope that helps:)

I would think that you could splice the wire, but the cord and power adaptor (supplied) is so convenient if you have a 110v rec. nearby. You will need a rec. to supply your reciever and you will be able to turn your power off once it locks in to sats. installation was easy if you are somewhat mechanical.

Yes. You slide off the cap portion of the plug away from the wider prong. You can remove the wire from housing plug by pulling up. Then if you need to you can shorted the cord. The directions are included in the package.

Sorry i cannot comment, i never had an issue with that. However, how do you change the wire?
1591304
Nope! I went ahead and took the pig tails from the ac adapter and exposed the bare wire and made my own adapters. Or I supposed you could also do a terminal block and wire it all in that way.

Have purchased splitter but have not had to use. I just put the wires together and use a twist cap.

These items consist of two end connectors with about six inches long of wire between. To shorten it you would need to unsolder one of the end connectors, cut the wire and re-solder it. It might be easier to just make a tidy loop in the wire. Or cut off one of the end connectors and solder the wires directly to the PCB strip.

Not sure that I can add anything to this. The only thing I can say is to look at the way the wire was attached that you are replacing very carefully, and replace with new wire the same way. Look at other answers for details if you can not figure it out.
