Can I run 12 volt lights in series?

by | Nov 7, 2013

Great question. Yes, our 12-volt light series can be run end-to-end up to 30 light sections in series. Each set is sold as a pair of components – a section of lights and a 15-foot extension section. When ordering multiple sets, there will be extra extensions. Save those for the future in case a cord is damaged in installation. If a fuse is blown in the adapter plug, swapping out the entire section is an easy fix.

The light sections have male and female coaxial style connectors that easily connect end to end. They provide a firm, water-resistant connections.

Here are close-up photos of the connectors.
