This article is a brief guide on extending Twinkly products
Applies to Twinkly Generation I and Twinkly Generation II devices
In the past, certain Twinkly products from Generation I had the capability to be physically extended by adding extra strings of lights. However, advancements in technology have transformed this process. Now, users can achieve extended lighting effects by utilising two or more devices through the Twinkly app. This can be done by creating a Sync, Join, or Area group, allowing for a more cohesive and dynamic lighting experience without the need for physical additions.
It is essential to note that each Twinkly device requires a connection to a power outlet, which is facilitated by its own power adapter. Alternatively, users can utilise an extension cord to ensure that the device is powered adequately. This setup is crucial for the proper functioning of the lighting systems, enabling them to operate seamlessly and provide the desired effects in your chosen space.
Until the year 2020, the Festoon product line was designed to be extended with an additional string of 20 bulbs. However, Twinkly has since upgraded this offering and now provides a 40-bulb version of the Festoon. This newer model features a central cord that elegantly branches out into two strings, each containing 20 bulbs. This design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also simplifies the installation process, making it easier for users to create stunning lighting displays.
At present, the only Twinkly products that retain the ability for physical extension are the Lightwall, Matrix, and Line models. It is important to be aware that when using Line devices, you are limited to connecting a maximum of two units. This restriction helps maintain the integrity of the lighting effects and ensures that the devices function optimally together.
While Twinkly does not currently offer specialised extension cords specifically designed for their products, users are in luck. Standard extension cords can be employed to provide additional length or to reach areas in your space that may be difficult to access. This flexibility allows for greater creativity and adaptability when setting up your Twinkly lighting, ensuring that you can achieve the perfect ambience in any environment.
