Rope Light ADvice.

Hi Guys

I'm after some rope lights and I'm sure I've seen some where they can be cut to the length required, but for the life of me can't remember where.

Anyone on here know?

Yep, dimmable to. Ive got all my ropelights connected into wall dimmers but will eventually be going to Lutron, Mode or Rako controllers. To connect them to the light switch, you need to do it by connecting directly to the switch
or using 1.5mm2 twin and earth to where the ropelight 'starts' and join using a junction box (if it will be accessible) or mechanical crimps (if not accessible).

Hope this helps!
