What kind of wire do I need to hook this up with? I want to move my current one to a different outlet and need a longer wire ::)

I had UL C3R 16Gauge when the system was originally installed so I just had to hook it up to the new transformer. The original lasted 10-11 years.

I used a lamp wire with a 2 prong plug. They should be available at Lowe's or Home Depot in varying lengths.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING, GET AN ELECTRICIAN. On my setup, no neutral wire was used. It does not connect into the unit. I spent a week trying to figure it out and even asked 2 electricians. The instruction doesn't say, but if you look at the wiring diagram it is clear.

Try to add 19 Ft of regular wire, see if it works. You have nothing to lose...

I am not a licensed electrician. However I see no reason you cannot wire it into an existing outlet. What I cannot answer for you is the amperage duty of the wiring to the outlet or the breaker capacity. Because this unit draws up to 30 amps, it should be on a circuit that will handle that. That would usually be a 40 - 50 amp circuit. You can check the existing breaker for the outlet. If it is not large enough, you should probably get an electrician to check the wiring to the outlet and verify it will take the load before installing a larger breaker.

Very likely not work. This item connects to one outlet rather in its middle, and then has another plastic prong to insert into the 'ground' of another socket below. Most likely for stability. You probably could break that prong if you only have socket. In all cases, I am pretty sure the socket connection is too far from the top, to give allowance for your switch.Finally, it is also too big to imagine extended out from the wall.I would rather use a "Stellar Labs 28-11104 6" Extension Cord with Flat Rotating Plug" to go down the wall half a foot, and then a "Globe Electric 46505 3 Outlet Single-Tap Wall Tap" to have other cables hanging.

If your asking about the 110 volt connecting cable that powers the TV then here's a idea. Buy a 14/2 extension cable instead of getting the wire and the plug separately. be sure it will be long enough to meet your needs before removing the outlet. For if its not you'll have new extension cord! Good luck.

It needs the burried wire, this just doesn't have it. The unit would hook up to wire if you already had wire installed. It won't work at all if you don't have the wire.

assume you wall outlets will power other devices (ie, night lite). length of cable, within reason, should pose no problem. power adapter or 2400 unit possibly bad. may have to return for repair. with shipping cost, etc.... If it were me, I'd go to radio shack and pick up cheap 15 VDC 300 to 500MA adapter and try it on unit....you would need to adapt to coax = tell salesman what your doing = maybe he can help.

Run a wire from the main panel thru the garage wall to the location for your 220V receptacle. Not a big job.

according to the nec , if you have an existing 2 prong, 2 wire outlet, you must change to a gfci receptacle, you can install in the first receptacle from the panel and wired correctly will upgrade the rest of the outlets on that circuit.

A good electrical book would be your best option. I dont see any reason you could match the gauge of the wires and extend the length. *Please observe all electrical standards and codes. *Contact a licensed electrician if you are not experienced with electrical work.

Sorry, I just got back to read my emails. This item is ok if you want to wire your garden area with special wiring for this type of light. I didn't read all the information about it and wanted a plug in to the outlet type. So I am going to eat this one for now. Maybe one day I might wire my whole backyard to have this type of lighting system. Sorry I could not help you more. Good luck.

Turn the power off and twist the two hots together, twist the two neutrals together, and wire nut the leads off the outlet to the twisted wires. The little orange wire nuts won't be big enough, so you will have to get different wire nuts. The neutral could still have a load on it, if it is shared with another circuit, so you might be better off hiring an electrician to change it out for you.

Oh I'm sorry I responded to the wrong item. But the same applies. I'm not sure what wires are needed for this. If you take it to a shop they will more than likely provide them. Sorry about that.

Just use the low voltage wire from the hareware store. It has the positive and negitive wires together.

Im not the seller, just a buyer. Ask the seller, I returned mine, you need a commercial grade electrical outlet because it pulls too much power when both units are plugged in.

No you must direct wire it to source. Very short wire, may have to add wire.
