Can you connect 2-3 reels/strips together (50 feet)? Can you splice the wire?

You can connect multiple reels together there is a splitter available to connect them side by side or if you would like to connect at the end of each reel they sell jumpers. If you are very skilled you can also cut and solder wires between the lights. ( not recommended as they have the jumpers that are quick neat and easy) to power the lights you will need a 12volt power source with the amperage rating high enough to cover the combined rating of all the lights

Hi Barb. It worked for me to connect 2 strips to the same power source and control them with the same controller. I haven't tried with 3 strips yet.

I connected my two reels together with no problems I also picked up a splitter wire as well just incase I needed it but I still have that in the original package

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

Yes, strip the ends of your wires and connect ends with small gauge twist on or cam type connectors electrical connectors. See electrical connectors. You may need an inexpensive wire stripper crisper tool. Be sure to connect positive to positive (on speaker cables, positive strip has a white stripe or the wire will be copper vs. aluminum).

I think that would be more trouble than it's worth. You would have to change the connector, and I am not sure how many wire cable you need. It comes with a high quality 65 ft cable, and I would try to use it. Good Luck.

Yes you can do that. One 16'strip per adapter. You need a special adapter to connect the 2 strips make sure its the right one.

I believe you could. You might have to splice some wires and connect them but it should be possible.

They are all different lengths. But to short if you want them more than a foot or two away from the unit. But you could extend them by splicing in more wire.

Yes, you will need the splices to connect the additional wire. You can splice without using the specified splices, but I found the splices to be weatherproof whereas splicing using electrical tape is not as good

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

This only has maybe 6ft of wire but I'm sure you could splice it to fit your needs.

As it is, you can use it with 2 (6 Ft)or 3 (9 Ft) sections at a time but not 1. They look like special connectors. It would be difficult to find them.

They can be cut every 3 leds which is about every inch and a half, and can be connected to the controller from the length you selected from there. You will just have to solder wires to the strip and connect it to the controller.

yes you can one of two ways, audio in or a splitter if you have red and white and you will need splicer

Yes, I recently bought two of these to decorate my house. The rope comes with a set of "terminator lke plug ins" that you cut and attach to one of the 3 sets of power adapters that is supplied. So, ideally you can hook up to 3 segments.Given the flexibility of cutting, joining works in a similar fashion. So, yes you can put two 150 foot strands together. I didnt do it and I think that you would need to double the power source to support additional LEDs on the stand.

Connectors are a hit our miss, so soldering is the way to go. Cut the strips the size you want then scratch a small area with a razor knife down to the copper base then put a dab of flux on that area and add a dab of solder with a hot soldering iron. This is called tinning. Do the same to the wire that you are using then take the iron without adding more solder and touch both together.

You can. The wires come out of the back of each light. Just add wire and splice together

I guess you can. I haven't tried. I would do it where your dvr is first. Attach the two. Them hook up the camera to see if it works. And pic quality. They also sell 300 footers. The shielded cable work way better than the skinny black wires that come w the camera set up. I swapt all my wires out. But I always check before. On my property that's a lot of work to find out the shielded cable didn't work. Or work back to back. I have 16 cameras. And never had any problems. I switch out cameras also as time go on.
