if you cut these lights at the obvious, 'cut' line, can you turn a corner or extend them? Or does the cut become a dead end?

It's dead end if you cut, but you can go around corners using the included connectors and you can buy extra connectors if you need them.

Yes, cutoff works well for how primitive it is, but its there. Cheap lights but could be made to work. I'm using them for LED builds bulbs get very hot

you could cut the flex watt, just remember to tape off the ends on each or you risk having a fire/shock hazard.

yes you can or you can bend the light also. Hope this will help answer your question.

As long as (and this might sound obvious to some, but I never assume) you cut off the end opposite the power cord. Its not like Christmas lights where if one goes they all go. Make it as long or short as you need.

Yes, it can be cut from what I have read. Between the emitters. (When you look at the ribbon, you'll see that it's essentially a series of 4 color emitter squares evenly spaced. From what I have read, you simply cut it between these.) I chose not to cut mine, even though it was a tad too long. I simply made a U on each end and have slightly brighter lights on the ends.

I don't think so but, if you can afford to experiment, see what happens. Me I thinke it might be wiser to use 2 sets of lights. with separate dimers. This would be the save way to do it.

I had an electrician hang the lights -- I'm afraid I don't have the answer to the question. I will try to get an answer for you.

if the tube walls are straight i see no reason they can,t be cut.if ends are tapered don,t cut

Pretty much, you just spread them out as much as you want. Ends up like a smi circle. I have had lights like this in my home for over 20 years. Still love them. Bought these as a gift. A lot cheaper then the ones I have, but just as beautiful. Hope this helps?

Strip can be cut but everything on that line will be the same color. That being said, I added a 3-way splitter and extensions. One of the 3-ways had a dodgy connection and would occasionally be a diffetent color which I corrected by tightening the connection and taping it.

You just untwist the entire top of the light. The part that does the turning. Good luck! I hope it lasts longer for you than it did me :-)

Hi, you can cut only where is indicated in the rope light is about every one or two feet, but also you can use the full length without problem I am actually using a full length rope and works very good

It depends on which direction the slope goes in relation to the light. If the slope is along the short edge of the light, it would be very easy due to the swiveling joints. However, if the slope is along the long edge of the light, it may not be feasible because you will need different lengths of poles (yes the poles are adjustable in length to some extent, but the likelihood that the extensions will match your slope exactly is not good). Great looking light though. We love ours.

I would assume the connectors that come attached to each light could be cut off and the light's wire hard wired to the line wire, but I used the lights' connectors that pressed into the line wire and every light has worked great for almost a year now.

Yes, you can move the light in whatever direction you want. You just line up the notch, where you want it to bend. These are really nice lights. I am so glad I bought them for our new kitchen.

Darren,Yes they can. They aren't always perfectly straight either way but they do find position both horizontal and vertical. They don't soon but have to be removed and placed in the vertical bracket that. I will say that if you are using these lights to be set up at many locations and quickly it could be difficult. They really are lights for a studio or lighting that will be in place for long periods of time. They take a bit to set up and it is easier with two people.
