Is there any problem with cutting the included 75' cord in half and attaching both pieces to the transformer to span included lights Left &amp; R of it?

There shouldn't be a problem with that as long as total wattage does not exceed transformer capability.

Yes you can put 5 lights in one place and then 5 lights in another if your ground wire is long enough without using 2 transformers. If your wire isn't long enough you may splice on enough wire to make it so. Be sure the wire you are adding is the same size as the wire you are splicing onto or poof thar she goes. Donna

Yes, remove the old transformer and put this one back in exactly the same way. Turn off the power and if you are not sure what you are doing hire a professional! Not worth burning down your house.

Perhaps. The trick is to supply 12v DC to the lights. I think the transformer is in the little box with the blades that fit into the plug, so you would have splice in before the transformer. When I replaced my fluorescent under-counter lights, my solution was to pull the old lights, install a plug at the end of those hard wires, and then plug into that. A bit of extra work, but not bad.

You can add strips, and they come with the needed connection. You are limited only by the output of the transformer I think...

Yes, I'm a Electrican. Just be sure you us good wire nuts when spliceing. Just cut the plug off the transformer and wire the correct colors

I wanted the same thing, thinking however I'd switch the halogens out for LED. Didn't like the look and the transformer for some reason would make the lights flash after it got warm. Not entirely sure since I had 10 lights at 4 watts each, for a total of 40 and the transformer is designed for 100 watts. You can "build your own" with other transformers and lights, but that makes it very pricey $$$$ fast. The simple answer is no, you can't go beyond whatever your transformer is rated. It becomes a fire hazard.

clip off the dc jack and strip the two wire and connect to transformer wires, which usually you have to connect the red to red, black to black vs on other types of low voltage it doesn't matter. Just be careful of the run length. That (nor in my experience with the supplier) I can't answer, but if its not a long run, shouldn't be a problem. Steve, electrical contractor, Atlanta, GA, just saw another answer from Robert, what he said!

Not particularly. And a bit of advice..have someone install it or look at it. It may need rewired. Mine did. The transformer was faultily wired and burnt up the ground wire in the light. Thankfully my ceiling tile isnt wood.

you cut the strip to use it in other area , if so you need another transformer

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

I did actually did the very same to some degree. I connected only two light strips & it works fine. Can't see why only one strip won't work.The draw [amps] is well under the transformer's limit. If you think about it , if one section goes out. the remaining should still power up. Hope this helps, Edwood

I only used the transformer for initial testing of the light to make sure they worked prior to installing them in my boat. Since the boat is 12 volt I did not need the transformer. I did notice the AC cord did not make a very good connection to the transformer box. I had to wiggle it around and press hard to get the green light to come on. I would check the AC cord is in tight, but most likely the transformer blew.

Our cord was long enough to hang the lights from a 14 ft ceiling, about 7 ft off the floor.(I believe the description says it's a 50" inch cord) I don't know if you could replace the cord. The wires were covered in a cord that matched the fixture (oiled bronze). We had the electrician that wired the addition install all the fixtures and I don't think he had any issues with these. I posted a picture of one of the lights. I saw where they are $7.99 now so you wouldn't be out much if you wanted to try a longer cord. (Ours were twice that)

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

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

no problem whatsoever. there appears to be no lose of power with either daisy chaining the cords or having multiple splitters on a single line.
