You will need a 12V DC power source for each set of 5M lights. Linking more than 5M of lights will result in LEDs dimming the further away from the power source they are. You may look into models with adhesive tape backing for easier installation without brackets.

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.

If I remember correctly, the cord is pretty long. Our ceiling is about 10ft and I had to cut and strip the cord for it to fit at the height we wanted. You probably could hang at 14ft. It's a great light!

Wires on lights are long enough and the transformer also has a long wire. You will need the (4) plug extension piece that comes with the light kit to connect (3) lights (MAX) and the transformer plug. They can all be connected at a center location and tucked away under the pools ledge and/or corner cover. IN MY SETUP the distance from my LAST light and the transformer plug is approx. .....30ft.

You will need to purchase a transformer and wire. Love the lights planning on purchasing more!

It depends on the length/number of LEDs in the strip, and transformer size. None of the Amazon sets matched my needs. I called the company and they designed what I needed, told me how many transformers to use, and gave me a better price.

You must buy the transformer. We bought 10 lights and have them all on one transformer. Must measure the area you plan to light so you will know how much wire to purchase. I ordered all from Amazon. We love these & plan to buy more for our fish pond area in our back yard.

The fixture is flexible and comes in four 4' sections. I've used all four sections, but I think you could probably use fewer, and wind the light through my kitchen and dining room. I haven't added more lights yet, but I think I will. It will be super easy to add more.

The pole comes in 3 sections, about 12" each. I length of the installed light would be determined by how many sections are used. There is enough wiring to extend through all 3 sections, but if only one or two sections are used the excess wires can be cut to the proper length.

Yes. There are 2 pieces. Each 24 " but you will loose 2" overall,because one end is inserted in the other. Best way to find out. Drill a small hole in the ceiling. Where you want the light centered. Poke a long stiff wire,or metal coat hanger.if you have one. Then get in the attic. Find that wire. Measure from the bottom of the sheetrock,to the top of your roof. Keep the tape as straight as possible. Then you will know your length. It comes with a really nice flashing. I love both my lights. What a difference it has made to my home. Love it !

That would work as you can keep adding extensions. Make sure though you screw the fixtures into the wall. Just for stability.

I don't think it's big enough. I have 12 lights equal to about 150 watts, so all my lights are nice & bright. I was told by several people to have a larger transformer than needed or the lights further from the transformer will be dimmer.

Now The lenght is 23in. It can be few inches longer but I dont remember how many more. Once you chose a lenght you can make it shorter later later but not longer because the cables need to be cut to fit the ceiling fixture.

I ordered 3 lights and needed my rods longer for hanging over a bar area with varying heights. My ceiling is slanted, so I purchased an adapter to screw into the rod end and then used chain the length I needed to reach the ceiling. That way the lights hung straight from the slanted ceiling. I love my lights!

The light can hang down from the ceiling as low or as high as you would like. There are three extension pieces of different sizes: You can use one or you can use them all. I don't have the exact dimensions of the pieces but I used only a combination of two of them and it worked perfect for us. I hope I answered your question! Good luck.

There are designated "cut" spots along the length of the rope lights, we just measured them and they are 1 meter (about 3 feet) apart. Your first length will already be connected to the plug but if you want to use the remaining lights you'll need to get additional plugs or connectors. We needed a long piece to go inside the crown molding of our formal dining room and this fit the bill perfectly. The lights work great and look great.

Not enough if you are hanging from a vaulted ceiling. I had a I go to Home Depot for more. 36 inchesb as not enough. Also , call the country and they will be mail instructions to put together !!!! It is from utube. Much needed!!!!!
