can you connect two of these strips in series of one transformer and dimmer?

Yes i believe so. I have two sepetate strips running in series On one switch.

You will need an additional converter. The strip is capable of using both voltages but does not convert voltages

Yes...there are different size transformers...but with any low volt or line volt lighting simply take the total wattage of the lighting strip..(60ft.) say maybe 200 watt....and divide by your voltage which I believe is 12v. on these...this would be 16.66 amps.....so make sure the wire you run from the transformer is rated at least 20 amps.....(#12 wire) This should work for you and be safe.....Make sure your transformer wattage output is equal to or less than your strip light wattage.

No you can't. It says in the instructions that you should never connect them to a dimmer pack.

I've been able to wire it with four way as well. One master, two secondary dimmers

You can add strips, and they come with the needed connection. You are limited only by the output of the transformer I think...

no, the dimmer needs to be in the 12 volt circuit, so after this power brick. you will need to rewire your wall dimmer so it feeds 12 volts to the led light strip.

If you connect the dimmer control between the power source and the splitter or a single light bar it should work just fine. Try both setups to see if the splitter is the problem. If you get only an on/off response or nothing at all with that connection I am sure Lightwiki will quickly replace your dimmer control. Just so you know, my entire system worked great right out of the box and is still working fine. Mike

I think this should work just fine - but I bought 2 dimmers and only one worked. The voltage of your power module is in the range of the dimmer and the current draw is well under the 2 amp. maximum. I cut the connectors off and soldered the wires directly into the circuit and the one unit works well.

Directions say must be to power supply but I don't see why couldn't be cut and spliced between two sets of light strips.

Not if they are DC strip lights. The unit is AC input and output. Even though it does not state on this page what the output is, I've ordered one. It is AC output and will NOT work with DC lights (at least without flicker). I'm not an electrician, but DC lights strips should have an AC to DC transformer.

No, not by just connecting one strip to another. Anything beyond 2 5meter strips will be to far from the power source.That amount of length would probably require a data repeater for every 10meters of light strips.

I have not tried this. I think dimmable drivers weren't available when I purchased. I got dimmers that connected between the driver output and the strip lights and they work great. Whether you could use a fixed voltage driver with a dimmer on the input side I do not know. I am guessing not, or not with much a range anyway. That might be a good experiment.

The package came with a three level dimmer control that I did not need - my interest was only in the transformer.I would think that this three level dimmer could be used as a substitute ; the compatibility of the connector would be the only matter to investigate,

I don't know... what ever you do, you have to make sure you are feeding DC current to the strip of LED's. Since this dimmer is made for AC and not DC curernt, it may not work.

You may want to have a dimmer on some lights, and none on others which would be possible with the two separate outputs. I'm not sure whether drawing all of the amperage capacity from just one output would cause a problem or not.
