Hello,

I purchased and installed the Omlopp LEDs with a 30W transformer from Ikea for my living room.

Unfortunately, some of the cables are too short. I would like to cut and extend them. I believe this should work – but is there any reason not to splice cables in order to extend them? Otherwise, it just won't fit.

Hello,

if it is done properly and the conductor cross-section is not chosen too small, I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t work.

I made a connection extension using the original cables.
Soldered joints with heat shrink tubing.

Works perfectly.

Best regards,
Gerhard
