Can I connect directly to a low voltage light cable or do I have to use the included transformer and adapter?

The waterproof cable attaches to the transformer using a female threaded waterproof fitting. The transformer has a male threaded fitting. I am guessing the connection is 3/8". It could be possible to connect to a low voltage (12V) system without cutting any cables provided you had a male connector to adapt it to the low voltage cable. My only concern would be the voltage drop that will occur which could affect the longevity of the lamps.

I cannot answer that. Honestly, I have no idea what a low voltage light cable is.

There is a voltage issue, sadly. You need a step-down transformer, which is what I use.

You need a transformer & wire from transformer to light. Also 110v power source for transfomer.

Hi Karthik, according to the manual that came with it, the product switches voltage automatically, so the only thing you will need is an adapter, NOT a transformer.

You can certainly try, the voltage should work with the light, but you will likely get a 60 Hz flicker that may bother some people because the LEDs will cut off half of the 60 Hz sine wave from the transformer. If you already have the transformer, try it with one bulb; if you're just looking for a way to use 120 VAC, get a AC-DC converter that just puts a rectifier on the output of the transformer: (http://www.amazon.com/Wagan-Amp-12V-Power-Adapter/dp/B000P7O5DG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1386119232&sr;=8-3&keywords;=120v+ac+to+12v+dc+converter)

You need to run power from a dc transformer to the light using a special cable. here is a kit for example LEDwholesalers Linkable Low Profile LED Rigid Strip and Power Supply for Display Case and Under Cabinet Lighting, 24-Inch, Warm White, 1988WW+1989PWR+3227

There are a separate set of two terminals for each of two lines of lights. As it is 12 volt you can hook up your cable to whichever set you choose. Don't worry about which one goes where as long as you use the same set of terminals. Unless you run a transformer on the same line of a long run with a transformer on each end. I have done this and it takes some planning as the 120 volt transformers also need to be on the same circuit and wired alike or you will blow a transformer.

You need a NinjaMcPowerConverter. But seriously....the simplest way is probably to get a cheap dc to ac converter from Northern Tool and just plug in the existing power supply. There are better ways, but not as simple, and I think you want simple. About 20 bucks gets the converter. It's cheap, and won't even turn a screw-gun, but it will power low-amp lights.

The 110V connections must be in a junction box to pass any electrical codes in the US. The low voltage side does not have to be. We used the smallest junction boxes they had at Home Depot, one junction box for each light connection where the 110V from the house connected to the light. Also mounted some of these these in beams running through our den. Needed small junction boxes for the 110V connections inside the beams (box had to fit through hole in beams where light is inserted)... found these for the beam application: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KHUWVQY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The picture shows the exactly what is included accurately. The plug in, plus directly into the light strip, then just a jumper wire to connect the next strip, ect. No transformer.

As others have said, its the transformer. You need one rated for LED lights. If you merely switched out your lights for LED, then that's the problem. I had similar sounds and bought the Lighting EVER power adaptor for LED lights and it worked great.(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CEJ6NC/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) No more sound!

Best to contact the manufacturer. Some transformers need more of a load than the LEDs provide. We bought 2 different sets of cable lights. One transformer could use them the other could not.

No, you must have 110/120 volt power going to it. We replaced old light with this one so we just used the same power connections.

A low voletage transformer, plugged into an outlet, has a low voltage wire, 25-100 feet long, or whatever length you need. Individual lights are attacheed to the wire wherever you need them. The lights are individually attached with an small device squeezed either with your finges oer a pliers that attaches both the individual light wire and transformer wire together, making the electrical contact. No need for an electrician if you can use a pliers!

You need to buy the adapter, it's still a great deal I used this to make a light panel for a film I was working on and I sved 500 bucks :) good luck

You will need a low voltage lighting transformer (http://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-ML44T-Voltage-Lighting-Transformer/dp/B0002YTPLY/ref=pd_sim_hi_31?ie=UTF8&refRID;=0K2K0MVT28WZ7426ZJ1K) and cable (http://www.amazon.com/Paradise-GL22131-Voltage-50-Foot-Landscape/dp/B00378K8WC/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y)Links provided are only examples. If you plan to add more lights around your house, get a transformer large enough to handle them. Also, cable comes in different guages and should be selected to handle all the power the transformer is rated for.

It would be best to simply use a 12 V DC adapter as offered in our Amazon store or on HitLights.com.
