GE 600 -Count 125-ft Multi-function White/Multicolor LED Plug-In Christmas String Lights
Can I connect 2 600-Count strings together? It says up to 2 sets can be connected but then I see the 600-Count string is already 2 sets.

Here is a real answer for you: GE considers 1 "set" to be one single string of lights. You can confirm this by reading any of their instructions for any of their strand lights, including other Color Choice Microbright lights (i.e. the 150 model). So, they are 100% saying that two strings is the maximum (2x300 led strings). 1200 LEDS is beyond the design capacity of the string wiring. To get into the technical details: I've measured the actual wattage draw of the 150 LED version and it is only 4.2 watts for 4x connected 150 LED strings totaling 600 LEDS. About 0.5 watts is lost in the power supply, so we can conservatively say that each 150 LED strand is <1.0w. HOWEVER, the strings are rated to carry just 0.16 amps. At the power supply's 29 volts DC, that is just 4.64 watts! So, 600LEDs is supposed to be the maximum connected run. There is a technical error (I've identified) in the GE Color Choice LED Dual Color Microbring Lights instructions which says the strings are rated for 19.2 watts. This is an error because that was calculated at 120v, not the operational voltage of 19v. This lighting string is rated 20.4 Watts (0.17 Amps), do not overload. GE stay bright light sets come pre-attached to a control box and plug. For end-to-end connections up two (2) sets, you will need only one (1) plug and one (1) control box. To begin, choose one (1) set as your master set. This set would be the only set connected to a control box and plug. Next, unscrew the coaxial connector between the light set and control box on all of the sets you would connect to your master set. Lastly, connect each set of lights end-to-end using the coaxial connections, screwing each connection cap tightly. Note: you may only add one (1) additional sets to your master set for a total of two (2)) connected sets

Was this Answer Helpful ?The "Yes" contradicts the "(600 L total)". So the question still remains, how many lights can be connected?
Was this Answer Helpful ?The question is, "Can I connect 2 600-Count strings together?" The answer is "Yes, one plug for the 2 sets (600 L total)."
Was this Answer Helpful ?but the description on the web sight says "600-Count (2 sets of 300 lights each)." So what is a SET?
Was this Answer Helpful ?Answer above is Vague. The package says, "Lighted Length (1set)..125 ft." next line says "Maximum Connected Same GE LED Sets..2 sets end-to-end."
Was this Answer Helpful ?Yes, one plug for the 2 sets (600 L total)
