The power adaptor that comes with each set of Mini Lites can power up to 5 end-to end connected sets. If you would like to use your own larger capacity 24v DC power supply, animation controller or dimmer, you can use this threaded connector with bare lead wires. It will allow for more end to end connections of Tru-Tone Mini Lites, but please keep in mind the inherent DC issue of voltage drop; the more sets connected end-to-end, the diminished brightness from the first to last light will be increasingly noticeable. We don't recommend more than 7 end-to-end sets.
If more than 5 sets (500 lights) are needed for a singular installation, we recommend running a separate 120V line to each grouping of up to 5 sets. In a tree, this can be accomplished relatively easily with a short, lightweight extension cord run "halfway" up the tree trunk, or with one of these specialty "christmas tree" extension cords.
With basic wiring skills, you can use this to add an in-line low voltage dimmer without cutting into your Tru-Tone Mini Lite String. Standard PWM dimmers are inexpensive and work but will introduce a degree of flicker as they dim. For a superior, flicker-free dimming experience at a full range of dimming, we recommend this more costly, but superior third-party dimmer.
