Hello!

I bought a LACK shelf and a 3-pack of Grundtal spots (nickel-plated) a few days ago. Installing the spots was no problem at all, and I was able to hide the cables behind the shelf very well - however, they are still far too long. Since this is extremely impractical, I wanted to know if the connection cables can be shortened without any problems (that is, the three cables that run from the spots and are plugged into the transformer). Unfortunately, the manual says nothing about this.

I would appreciate any advice!

Sure, why not?

I wouldn’t guarantee that the electronics won’t malfunction, but since you can connect up to 6 lamps, the situation also changes with the number of lamps and it must always work. Then a change in cable length should also not cause any problems.

Then I will probably just go ahead and hope for the best.
Thank you!

Addendum: Cables could be shortened without any problems and the lamps work exactly as they should. So easy to do! :)

I would have been very surprised as well. Why should a lamp shine differently than before just because the cable was shortened... Please prove me wrong.... I find that incomprehensible.
