Yes , I am trying to run these lights around my porch and I only need 22 feet what would I do with the remainder of the lights if I purchased 2 sets?

It would be tedious but I'd consider making the distance between each icicle a little shorter by looping the wire. You'd want to use something non-conductive to hold the loops, though, like white silk tape or similar. I bought these last year & pulled them out this year, they still work perfectly.

I love these lights. They are great. But at 16 feet, you will have 8 feet left over in your application. Right now you have to deal w/ 4 feet on either end. If you double up the last 4 feet, it will look silly. The easiest thing thing to do is to wrap around the porch ends and follow the porch roofline for 4 feet on either end.Another way to accommodate this is to might be to buy three strings and double them up (staggered, of course) which will leave you with 1 extra foot to deal with at either end. (3x16 = 48, 48/2 = 24, 24 - 22 = 2). You could build in some slack between successive hooks and absorb the extra length within the 22 foot run. I love these lights. They are great.

I am not certain about this. I use it only for my porch and outside garage lights. Sorry; I wish I could have been of more help.

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

The lights only come with a linking cable that is around 3 foot long, so I don't think u can exceed that, with out customizing the cable yourself. I have never inquired to see if there is a longer cable available. Don't quote me on that exact length please.

Yes you can although the instructions say you can't. I used 2-conductor 16 AWG direct burial wire ("16-2 landscape wire") to go from the transformer to the path where the lights are. You can also use it between lights. I went about 50 feet. If your run is longer (more than 50 feet) you might want to go to 14 AWG or even 12 AWG. For the splice I used the underground wire twist connectors, which are supposed to be waterproof. I installed my system last fall and haven't had any problems with it through rain or regular sprinklering. Be aware though that they lights don't put out much of a radius. Even using the distance of the supplied cables between the lights (about 5 feet between lights when I alternate sides of the path) the radius of light from one light does not overlap the other. If you need continuous lighting you will want them close. For more of a decorative look it will be fine though.

Yes, I have a 21 ft and one set was plenty. I bought 2 sets and ended up giving 1 away. They are fairly heavy lights. I bought a dimmer switch at Lowe's so I could have bright or dim. I also use clear bulbs they look much better

If you are planning to run lights along all 4 walls, you will probably need 4 kits. In my kit, the power supply and control box were only rated for a 16' combined length of lights. The good news is that 1 remote can control all 4 control boxes at once if the sensors are placed near each other.

These led's have a plug on both ends of the light so you just need to buy enough rolls to make 50 feet ... note not sure how may rolls of led's the signal box can support

I believe you can go up to 32ft ( two strands of lights)with one power unit...after that there is a piece you need to boost the power... You can visit HitLight main web page to double verify...hope this helps

In order to supply optimum power without voltage drop and maintain constant luminous for any led strips it cannot be longer then 14-16ft. so you would need one repeater for each 16ft stripe. That's why most supply only sell 16ft long stripe.

I went out to get the lights which are still in the box to see if they looked to long for an 18 inch tree and I realized the seller had sent me a strand of 50 instead of 35. I didn't use them for the intended purpose so I hadn't noticed I was sent the wrong thing. Therefore I can't answer your question.

I have a 16ft awning and its about perfect for that distance. I think it would work for 20ft , it has the stretch cord so i would try it. They are nice lights.

No. Sorry I was off mark in my previous response, I was inadvertently looking at wrong item. You get what you pay for. These lights just aren't wearing well and the sensor isn't particularly responsive on 2 of the 3 I purchased, and to the best of my knowledge, not distance adjustable. No worries tho; these def don't go 30 feet.

I already have my lights put up for the Autumn season and I no longer have the boxes they came in. Since they are not LED's, you are usually told to not string more than 3 sets of 100 together. I do have 5 sets strung together and they seem to be fine.

Yes you just cut off a little longer than you need, because they run in sets of three. You can start at the end and hook to a battery and you will see what i mean. If you were to cut off one the next two wont work they are in a series. Yes you can cut them just in a series so all bulbs wil still work.

You can run quite a few off of one power supply. Led use almost no power to run. I have limited 4 16 ft strips to one. Box. I have used one y. And connected 2 strips to each side. If you buy the led strips fom 2 seperate vendors, the wires won't match up.

No, I don't believe you can. I would research for you, but my lights are deep in the attic. I will say they looked great in my yard last year.
