Can You Splice Outdoor Lights?

Outdoor lights are a wonderful way to bring warmth, beauty and safety to any outdoor space. Whether you’re illuminating a garden at night, providing additional security for your home or just creating an inviting atmosphere in your backyard, outdoor lighting can make all the difference.

But what if you don’t have enough lights? Can you splice outdoor lights together to create more of a presence?

The answer is yes! Splicing outdoor lights is a great way to get more light without having to buy new fixtures.

Splicing is simply connecting two wires together so that they become one wire. This allows you to link multiple lights together, giving you the effect of one large light source instead of multiple small ones.

Splicing is a relatively easy process as long as you have the right tools and knowledge. You will need wire cutters and wire strippers as well as electrical tape.

First, you need to identify the wires that will be connected – typically this will be either white or black wiring. Then use the wire cutters to cut each wire at least 6 inches from the end. Take your wire stripper and strip away about ¼ inch of insulation from each end of both wires.

Next, twist each exposed end together clockwise. Secure them with electrical tape and then wrap the entire connection tightly with additional electrical tape. Make sure that no bare wires are visible after taping. Finally, plug it in and test the connection before installing it outdoors.

Splicing outdoor lights is an easy way to get more light without having to purchase additional fixtures or hire an electrician for installation. With some basic tools and knowledge, anyone can splice their own outdoor lights together for increased illumination.

In conclusion, yes – you can splice outdoor lights in order to get more lighting for your space!
