Can I cut this rope light to make it shorter?

Yes. The clear plastic sleeve does turn white after a few months outside though.

Yes, it has marks where it can be cut every couple of feet and the kit includes ends to reseal the cut ends. I didn't cut mine so I'm just commenting on the included instructions.

I don't see how. The filament seems to be continuous. You can certainly contact the manufacturer for a definitive answer.

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

This light has metal rods that hang from ceiling. There were 2 rods that are if different lengths. Don't think you can cut the rods to any length.

Yes, it could be doubled over and sewn at the top to make it shorter. There are magnets attached to the hem at the center connection that one would need.

You have to take into account that you will most likely have the light hanging from the ceiling therefore making it slightly shorter than the listed dimension.

I dont think cutting extender would work...The wiring runs through the extender and is also the attachment piece for the bottom. When shopping I saw the same light by same company that was flush mount versus this semi-mount model.

We can do this in longer rope however that would be a custom order. You would need to contact directly to order with the additional rope.

You can cut it to any length. The strip consists of Three LEDs are in a series circuit over and over again in parallel. If it's cut short only the other 1 or 2 won't work. There is no need for soldering. But I suggest sealing the end with hot glue to keep moisture out if it's used outdoors

you can shorten the wires , it would be very tedious , you would need the correct wire/pin tools to open and close all the fittings/crimps

You probably could take a hacksaw and cut off about 6" below where the tubes are seamed together. Or just have a metal fabricator make you one showing the picture.

It claims that it can be cut to length, but we had a lot of trouble re-wiring once we cut the pieces. However, since we were also cutting the corresponding product (the LED lights), I cannot say for certain if the reason nothing was working was because of the connectors or the LED's themselves.

I saw no way to shorten the cords. Our ceiling height is the standard, it was built in 1986. We have this fixture above a table and it poses no problem for us to eat beneath it. Hope that helps.

No, it is not long enough. I did however use the rope and some carbiner rings to make it work.

No - if you mean cut the wire. If your mean cutting the soffit - you can "fish" wire from one light to the next with a fish tape or "glow" stick rod without cutting soffit except for the holes for the can. This is a line voltage device, so wire size is determined by the amperage of the circuit as required by the electrical code - 12g/14g wire for 20amp/15amp circuits respectively.

you cannot use a dimmer on this type of lighting . they only work one way just plug in and thats it .you cannot dim rope lighting

There is. O way to make it shorter unless you tKe to someone who knows how to cut lucite.
