Skip straight to your accessory of choice: 2m Starter Cable | 2/5/10m Extension Lead | Y Cord | 9 Port Curtain Connector | 5 Port Ring Connector | T Cord Connector | 3 Way Connector | 9 Port Ring Connector | 2m Starter Cable with Dimmer | 2m 16A Plug
ConnectPro® 2m Starter Cable, Black or White Cable, UK/EU Plugs Available - MV021
The starter cable comes with a standard household plug and a 2 metre lead cable (from the plug to the first light). As the starter cable is integral in keeping your display shining, it has been manufactured with heavy duty rubber cable and supplied with a high quality fuse, ensuring reliability.
ConnectPro® 5/10m Connectable Extension Lead, Black or White Cable - MV022/023/058
2, 5 and 10 metre extension cables, available in black or white are the most frequently used accessory in this range. They have two main uses: 1. To extend the distance between the plug and the first light. 2. To insert a blank section between two compatible products, e.g. if you wish to put lights on two trees, one at the top and one bottom of the garden, but do not want lights running in between. Then you would use the extension cable to carry the power from the lights on the first tree to the lights of the second tree. Multiple extension cables can be connected together to increase length as required.
ConnectPro® Connectable Y Cord, Black or White Cable - MV024
The Y Connector has two main uses: 1. To convert the starter cable in to two separate outlets. 2. To send a cable in two different directions further along the installation, e.g. to put lights on two separate trees that are close together where there is only one mains outlet. Simply run the starter cable to the base of the trees and attach the connector. This will now give you two outlets, one for each tree.
This accessory is 1m long, with each of the 3 sections measuring 50cm, and can be connected together to create a more advanced display.
ConnectPro® 9 Port Curtain Connector - MV025
This curtain accessory is used to display a number of standard strings of lights as a curtain. Standard string lights typically join end to end like a daisy chain but when they are used with the curtain connector they simply hang down from the 9 ports available. The connector is 1m wide with a 10cm gap between each port and comes supplied with waterproof blanking caps so that any ports that you do not wish to use can be blanked off. Multiple curtain accessories can be added together to increase the width of the curtain.
ConnectPro® 5 Port Ring Connector - MV026
The 5 Port Connectable Ring Connector is used to separate a single input into 5 different outlets through which lights can be branched out, e.g. when decorating a deciduous tree with lights, many people’s preference is to wrap the individual branches. This is very difficult to do with a single string of lights but much simpler with a ring connector.
Start by placing the ring accessory where the main trunk starts to split, and then you are free to fill the 5 individual outlets with light strings to wrap around the branches.
ConnectPro® T Cord Connector, Black or White Cable - MV029
Available in either black or white, each arm of the T cord measures 15cm, making the connector 30cm in total.
Similar to the Y cord but with a more rigid construction where the two cables meet, this accessory has two main uses: 1. To convert the starter cable in to two separate outlets. 2. To send a cable in two different directions further along the installation, e.g. to put lights on two separate trees that are close together where there is only one mains outlet. Simply run the starter cable to the base of the trees and attach the connector. This will now give you two outlets, one for each tree.
ConnectPro® 3 Way Connector - MV057
The 3 Way Connector is used to convert the single lead cable from the power pack into three outlets. This is a great way to run three separate light strings from the just the one plug, e.g. if you wish to put lights on three separate trees that are close together, but only have one mains outlet. Simply run the lead cable from the power pack to the base of the trees and attach the connector. This will now give you three outlets, one for each tree.
This accessory is 32cm long and can be used to create a more advanced display, since multiple extension cables can be connected together to increase length as required.
ConnectPro® 9 Port Ring Connector - MV059
The 9 Port Connectable Ring Connector is used to separate a single input into 9 different outlets through which lights can be branched out, e.g. when decorating a deciduous tree with lights, many people’s preference is to wrap the individual branches. This is very difficult to do with a single string of lights but much simpler with a ring connector.
Start by placing the ring accessory where the main trunk starts to split, and then you are free to fill the 9 individual outlets with light strings to wrap around the branches.
ConnectPro® 2m Starter Cable with Dimmer - FL042
Specifically designed and manufactured by Festive Lights, this industry-first LED dimmer controller, with commercial quality black rubber cable, allows precise control of light levels across our 240V ConnectPro® range. Measuring 2m in length, this product is connectable and is designed to connect directly onto your first set of lights. Rated IP65, this product is suitable for either indoor or outdoor use and allows you to create your own bespoke lighting display, from ambient to bright.
To operate, simply hold down the button until you start to see the light decreasing or increasing in brightness. The dimming unit will continually cycle slowly from the lowest brightness to the highest, therefore simply release the button when you have reached the desired light level. This dimmer is compatible with any products featuring the ConnectPro® logo, and can power up to 480W, giving plenty of scope for powering large scale systems.
ConnectPro® 2m Black 16A Plug - MV076
Powering up to 7600 LEDs, this starter cable comes with a 16A plug and a 2 metre lead cable, perfect for indoor and outdoor commercial applications and providing a higher load capacity. With an anti-electric shock design, the earth pin for this industrial plug is longer than the live and neutral pins, meaning that the application will be grounded first before it is electrified, for reassuring safety. It has been manufactured with heavy duty rubber cable and supplied with a high quality fuse, ensuring reliability and longevity.
