Can I use this to split off an existing line voltage light?

This device is a transformer. I use it to TRANSFORM a normal 120 volt, 60 kHz line into a 11.8 volt, 30 kHz power source for a string of five low voltage lamps.

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 divideby 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.

I don't think so. The transformer needs full power from your wall socket. You would insert a 12 volt dimmer between this device and your string of lights.

Easily if you know a thing or two about splicing the line. The current loss from the additional lights isn't an issue. Personally I take the fuse off it tends to die out often so direct fixes it for me

yes. that is how I connected three lights in line to an existing switched circuit.

Yes if two lamps are wired in a series circuit. This is one of a few ways to reduce the voltage to 120vac.

Im pretty sure you can.. I have a 4 way splitter with on/off switches to control my lights.

Its not made to be used like that... but if Ur line is the right voltage you could just cut the cord right before the plug and splice into the line... Disclaimer: Consult a certified electrician before trying at home ;P

I believe so, just plug whatever you are splitting in the correct port. FYI, I bought 2 of these things and each one broke within a few days. For the price it's not much risk just be aware it may happen

You probably can but I would not recommend these lights, they are horribly unreliable and customer service is less than ideal. I went through three strips and only one worked more than a week and it lasted less than three months

The harness is split near the business end. I imagine you could split one end again to power your second 4" light.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to cut the lights, separate them and then join them back with wire, making the total length longer. If this is what you want to do then the answer is yes. Make sure you cut where the white line is on the led strips and then strip plastic to expose the wire and solder your additional wire to the led wire. The lights will need a 12 volt power supply and I also added a dimmer to control how much light. They are very bright.

I'm not sure. There is no internal switching for this, but, in principle, you could do it externally. Very little information comes with the unit, and I've never seen a circuit diagram. Although you would probably be OK, I have noticed that the output protection circuit is very touchy. For some reason it refuses to let the output relays close when the line voltage is greater than 127V. (I bought a voltage regulator.) So, I guess I would be wary of doing anything unusual with the output.

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.Since you can't be sure of which switch controls that light, turn off the power at the fuse box for that circuit. Make certain that the power is off, then and only then proceed. If you have rubber gloves they will add a layer of protection when handling the tool.I am not an electrician so if you are not comfortable doing this, please do not attempt. That's the best advice I can give you. Please be safe!

I had not tried with a standard dimmer on the line side. I had a solid state one on the low-voltage side that worked fine until it was determined that I really just wanted to install a simple toggle. :)

I'm sure you could since the light sensor is just an inline module. If you leave it off just put it on a switchable circuit or you'll have to splice the line, which might mess with the waterproof nature of the line.
