Hi guys, I have some twinkly festoon lights in the pergola. They are great but the cable is a little but short to the power point. I am after an extension cable (1.5) I have tried Bunnings, M10 and PB tech . No luck as doesn’t match. Has anyone had any luck extending their lights? It’s a two pin but the ones I have found don’t fit the twinkly plug

Assuming this is a 12V system, any chance of a pic of the spec sheet for the system?

Not much info on the twinkly website around specs, but perhaps this might help?

Thanks team will keep hunting ;), it has a little half circle at the top which doesn’t work with other cables

Wow, people will pay that much for basic addressable LEDs on a string?

If its not a totally custom plug then I have got some weatherproof cables off aliexpress from the seller Ray Wu, who is well known in the xmas lights display crowd as a good supplier of these sorts of things.

That looks like an M16 connector but keyed to make sure you can't plug a standard cable into it. Which would typically mean it's some oddball configuration that they don't want you plugging the wrong thing into. Are there any other markings on the power supply?

Not that I can see . I did work out today that I can daisy chain them to my Bunnings lytework lights . However the twinkly works not the lyteworks lights even though the power is going through the lights to the twinkly lights . I joined a face book group , got sent this link but they don’t ship to NZ. I couldn’t see that Bunnings sells just lytework cords .

This one looks to be the same, having that divider between the pins that others do not have.

The lyteworx ones were 30v when I looked at some a while back, would make sense to not light up when on a 24 or 12v supply but would still pass the power thru.
