Power Injection T-Connector
The Power Injection T‑Connector is used when connecting more than 144 LEDs. It provides additional power support to sections of the light string beyond 144 LEDs and must be used together with an extra power adapter.
Note: Different models use different power specifications. Please ensure you use the correct power adapter according to the model you purchased.

Power Injection T-Connector Wiring Examples
Use the S1070 wiring as a reference.
Example 1 – Power Injection at the Controller Output
Two power adapters are connected at the beginning of the light string using a Power Injection T-connector.
Each power adapter powers 144 LEDs.
This setup is suitable when the full string layout starts from a central controller location.
Example 2 – Power Injection in the Middle of the String
A second power adapter is added in the middle of the light string using a Power Injection T-connector.
The first 144 LEDs are powered by the controller-side adapter, and the remaining 144 LEDs are powered by the second adapter.
This configuration is ideal for long straight runs of 288 LEDs.
How to Connect to 576 LEDs
To safely power 576 LEDs, you must use multiple Power Injection T-Connectors and 4 power adapters.
Important Notes:
-
Do not connect both power adapters directly into the same controller port without using a T-connector.
-
Each adapter should only power up to 144 LEDs max.
-
Ensure all connectors are properly sealed for outdoor use.
FAQs
Q1: When should I use a Power Injection T‑Connector?
A1: When the total number of LEDs exceeds 144, or if you notice brightness drop at the far end of the lights.
Q2: Can one power adapter support all my lights?
A2: No. Each power adapter supports up to 144 LEDs only. To power more LEDs, you must use an additional power adapter with the T‑connector.
Q3: Can I connect multiple T‑connectors in the same setup?
A3: Yes, for very large installations (e.g., 288 or 576 LEDs), you can use multiple T‑connectors to inject power at different points.
Q4: Does the T‑connector split both power and signal?
A4: No. The T‑connector only injects additional power. It does not split or duplicate signal lines.
Q5: What if I exceed 288 LEDs on one controller output?
A5: This is not supported. Each controller output supports up to 288 LEDs maximum. Use multiple controllers for larger setups.
