can you cut the rope lights to length?

Yes, there are designated marks every 6 ft or so. Just make sure to cut smoothly along the mark and you'll be fine. Use the connecting pieces to connect to either another section or a plug. Make sure you stick the connector right into the two wires. That is the trickiest part.

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.

yes. but you have to buy the end connectors/plugs if you want to cut it into multiple lengths.
1626317
yes, but to be honest, you may not get a connection unless you insert the adapter perfectly, plus you could shock yourself a bit.

I think there is the possibility to make it shorter (pull up the cords inside the housing that attaches to the ceiling), however, you cannot make it longer. We have 12 foot ceiling and needed to extend conduit down about 2 feet to attach the light to in order to put it at a height that made sense.

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 lights can be cut (show by 4 gold spots with a line for ease). it adds a bit of thought and time spacing them out, but you can make the light spread out nicely this way. you'll need solder, soldering iron, proper wire and a little skill, however.

Yes, the length can be adjusted, it you will need a crimping tool. It takes a while and a LOT of precise measuring. Also just fyi, the lighting is not UL approved, so if you want to be sure it is not a fire hazard, it is a good idea to rewire it.

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.

Supposedly. They're designed to be cut to length. But if it's for outdoor use, they don't hold up well so make sure its not a big project to put them up. There should be instructions included that describe where to cut the lights so that they'll still work.

They are fairly rigid, so getting the ropelights into them might be a struggle. The inside diameter of the hook is large enough, just not the opening.

hello, thank you for the question and interest. Yes, the buyer can rewire the lamp to have as long of a length as needed and add chain. Any hardware store would have the supplies.

Shouldn't be a problem. U can cut the chain and wires to any desirable length. It's very soft lighting with frosted glass cover so as an accent would be perfect.

you can cut off if you want. It should not effect or affect performance. I left mine and actually powered my light from either end. But, yes you can cut.

Yes. Each piece is 3 feet long with interlocking tips and you can cut them to the desired length. All you need to cut them is a metal cutting blade. With a little handyman knowledge you can do the job.

Yes. The cord is extremely long & we only needed a few feet. My husband cut the cord & hard wired them into what used to be the recessed can lighting. Just a simple splice, electricians tape & cap. I love mine. :)

Actually too long; I had to gather the excess wire and used a nylon zip line to cinch them up....no worry about the wires being too short...excellent lights!!!

We can do this in longer rope however that would be a custom order. You would need to contact directly to order with the additional rope.

It claims that it can be cut to length, but we had a lot of trouble re-wiring once we cut the pieces. However, since we were also cutting the corresponding product (the LED lights), I cannot say for certain if the reason nothing was working was because of the connectors or the LED's themselves.

Yes, that would give you the maximum legth you can adjust the chandelier height to, which includes the hanging lines/chain. Not the height of the chandelier itself.
