4Expansion & Accessories
Accessory compatibility rule: APPECK extension cords, wire connection accessories and signal amplifiers can be used across APPECK Permanent Outdoor Lights systems. The SH13.5B Y Splitter uses an industry-standard X Connector, 3-pin interface and can be used across the lineup. It is a parallel splitter, so both outputs receive the same control signal and cannot be controlled independently. Power-injection packs are also universal when the system voltage matches. TS2 T Signal Splitter — 13.5B interface / industry-standard C Connector, 3-pin is different: it is only compatible with APPECK Life lights that use individual light IDs, allowing the two TS2 output branches to be controlled independently. Light sections, controllers, track and dedicated power supplies remain model-specific unless otherwise stated.
All current APPECK models support expansion. The method and maximum system length differ by model.
