I want to cut the light strip and have a 32" gap in between that is not lite and then continue with the strip that I cut. Can this be done?

That's exactly what I did across my in cabinet microwave. They sell a jumper in 3"-6' sections.

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.

Its possible but you will have a 2.5 foot long gap and about a foot wide gap by putting it in a L position. Im not sure how well it will look. But I would still try. Maybe keep them separated a little but still in an L shape.

Once the strip has been cut, it is no longer attached to the power so it will not light. You will need to re-splice it to the strip that is connected to the power adapter.

It can be done with a thin screwdriver or a thin philip screw driver...narrow enough to fit the gap

The strips are pretty narrow so it shouldn't be an issue at all. We also needed it for a small gap in the door. And they are easy to cut. These are great!

Yes, but it will require some extremely basic electrical skills; ie stripping wire. Figure out how much you need and then add 4-6 inches to keep in the light fixture (this is a common practice). Once you know your length plus the 4-6 inches, adjust your base so that you have your desired length on the correct side, and the excess on the other. Measure 4-6 inches on the back side of the base, and cut. Next, you want to strip the outer plastic to expose the wires. Take a pocket knive, scissors, or box cutter and cut around the the plastic outer layer. You want to cut this so that you can easily pull it off without cutting the plastic in the individual wires. Pull the outer sheeth off and remove and paper or string filler. Next take a pair of strippers (purchased at any home improvement store) and strip 1/4" off the edge of the wire. That's it! There should be a ton of YouTube vids on how to do this if you need a visual

Only if you want to cut the wire and reconnect it. (Warning) if you cut the wire it is a fine wire and difficult to handle, reconnect, & strip the wire. You must do it taking your time. But it can be done. But I do not change my opinion of the light they are dim and not reliable.

Yes, every three lights you can cut the strip. The strip has markings where you can cut.

Yes the strip can be cut at 2 inch intervals. The total length of the strip is ten inches and has fifteen LED, s.

I am sure that you can (unless your breaker won't take it). You could even cut the ends and wire them together if you want uniformity in spacing.

If you cut the strip you'll have to solder the ends together' what I would do is do a U turn with the strip and run it across the back twice.

Dr. Turner, these lights cannot be trimmed. Therefore utilizing the (4) 10 ft. sections would likely be your best bet.

When you cut an LED strip you need to use some type of connector to continue the next leg. There are clamp-on type connectors. These are used to join two female connectors together. I soldered females to the end of the LED strip and then used these to connect to the next leg of lights.

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.

Yes it CAN be cut in two with a hand saw or machine saw . When cut into 2 pieces use small nails or screw to secure it around your lighting fixture . After rejoin with wood glue to put it back together and to hide the split use wood filler . When dry paint to the desired color. Don't forget to use a little wood filler to cover the head of the nail or screw .
