Can I splice two
different colors of rope light together?
Yes. Simply use
a splice and you can connect whatever colors
you choose, as long as it is the same kind
of rope light. You cannot connect 12 volt
to 110/120 volt, nor 3.36 watt to 5.5 watt.
Standard 2 wire rope light cannot be
connected to chasing 3 wire rope light. |

What do I
need to splice rope light together?
For best looking
results, you will want to use an
invisible splice and
clear shrink tubing. If you choose, you
can also use a
plastic splice kit. Be sure your splice
connector has the same number of pins as the
number of wires in your rope light. You
must use a three pin splice for chasing rope
light and a two pin splice for standard two
wire rope lighting. |

How do I
splice rope light together using an
invisible splice connector?
First cut
the rope cleanly where indicated by the
silver line (18 inch and 36 inch segments).
See
cutting rope light for details.
Second,
slide a piece of shrink tube over one end of
the rope light.
Third,
insert the "invisible splice" connector pins
into both ends of the rope light. Push all
pieces together firmly.
Fourth,
slide the shrink tubing so that it covers
the connection and use a hair dryer to seal
it. |

Do rope light
connections or splices need to be sealed?
Rope light is
water tight but when used outdoors in an
area that is damp or could get wet, seal all
connections with silicone or silicone tape.
Never submerge in water. |
