aaronmunson Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 So as a newbie, I was already bummed out when I found out that you couldn't treat LED's the same way you can as the old incand lights, especially when it comes to modifying strings. However, I was at Home Depot earlier and I purchased a bunch of the GE Colorite LED's, which I love, because they look just like incand's but a bit bolder color. But when a couple of the stores ran out of the 100ct sets, I started picking up 50ct and it got me to wondering, is it possible to take a 100ct set and divide it exactly in 2, leaving 2 50ct sets? I assume that they at the factory just put plugs on at the 100 and 50 ct points, as I don't see any difference in the plugs, or any added boxes, resisters, etc, but I just had to ask!

dgtlpro Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Take a look at the string. At the mid point are there 2 wires? If so, it may be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronmunson Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Unfortunately not, as GE nicely rubberbanded each set of 50ct, and in the middle I see 3 wires. It looks like 3 wires come out of the female and male plugs, and throughout the strand it ranges anywhere from 3 to 4 wires running at the same time, with 1 wire going into a lamp, and 2 coming out, or vice versa. I'm guessing that means that you just ruined my day, huh? :-) Oh well, it's not a big deal if I can't break a larger strand in half....at least I can still put 2 smaller strands together for a long one.
