Can you connect more than one strip together?

Yes. But more strips means your power supply needs to provide more electric current (amps). Make sure your power supply is rated for the number of strips you want to connect together. MAX Amps per Strip X Number of Strips=MIN Required Power Supply Amps.

Yes but after 2 you will have a voltage drop, and light may not work or will be dim

yes..but you it may require a higher wattage power supply because you will draw twice the current.each strip draws 72 watts minimum so 2 strips require a 150 watt power supply. if used outdoors the power supply must be waterproof or it will not last long.

I believe you can connect two end to end, but you cannot connect 3 or more end to end. I explored this question myself, though I did not do this, and it seems like once you use more than 2 strips (of 5 meters each) it would drawn too much power for the thin wires and things would melt. If I did this myself, I would first test it and see how hot the strips seemed to be getting before I would trust installing it. I would also not recommend doing this without some validation, since I am by no means an expert and would not want to be responsible for any mishaps.

Yes you can hookup four strips together. They have an adapter plug on the end of each strip. So you can hookup 20 together, or 1024 sets of three LEDs Max on the controller. I hope this helps.

I have two strips connected together currently and they are working fine. I dont run them for very long periods though. Maybe and hour at most and have not had any issues. According to all info out there you are supposed to run a "repeater" to connect more than one strip. Also, you will need a "strip to strip" connector to join strips together. You can find alot of different types on this site.

You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring. I could be wrong tho :) However, the adapter is plenty powerful enough to run both your strips. I believe its made to power a little over a 16' strip of LEDs. I used one on a bookcase and it was fine. The only thing I had to do though, was cut the LED strip when I got to the corners and use a special connector you can buy on Amazon too, but I didnt have to worry about going an opposite direction like you are. I would say you'll maybe have to solder the wires or the strip together close to the outlet. You can't have 2 strips coming into the same adapter; not as far as I know without doing some wiring.

Keep in mind each strip draws 3 amps at 12 volts, or 36 watts on full white. You must have enough wattage from your power supply to drive two strips.

Hey I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. I purchased these for my niece. Looking at it a little bit closer you could probably cut them into three different strips. I hope this helps.

No. You cannot hook up multiple sets. Although if you purchase the one with 20 pieces, it should be more than good. You pretty much daisy chain the lights. It specificially says no more than 20 strips per box.

I would say no. Strip fits into a channel. I think a small amount of clear silicon would work the best

Yes. If you are talking about two different strips you'll need to make sure you have a transformer that provides enough power. If you are planning to cut one strip then you will just need to solder a pair of wires to to the cut section and run them to the transformer

I found that if you solder the strips together and not use the cheap connecters you don't get as bad of a voltage drop for 2 strips. You can also feed them from both ends. That will even the voltage out a bit more. I have a giant project going on and with the correct transformer, creative wiring, and big enough wire you can get away with not using these. You can always try and add it later....

With a higher wattage power supply you could connect all 5 strips to one power supply but you would still overload the control driver that changes the colors.. I have used these in many kitchens that I have wired.. One strip over the cabinets, one under the toe kick, and another for under the upper cabinets (for task lighting) I think I have went up to 32 feet on a transformer and they are still working correctly after 1 1/2 years.

Hi, I think you cannot connect two lines, I haven't try but I don't think you can dismantle the edges to connect another one? Maybe you can unscrew the end but again I don't know

No not unless you get different power boxes and solder your own connects its one long strip that is all controlled by one power box

Yes, two of these will connect together. Observe the polarity markings molded into the body of each connector when you install the wires. They will connect to each other only the correct way.

you cannot you need to wire both strips to the same controller and have one remote you can do it from the low voltage side

If you are wanting to cut the strip and have lights in different areas you will need to buy connectors
