12-Light Indoor/Outdoor 24 ft. String Light with S14 Single Filament LED Bulbs

I hung two strings and they do not light up. I tried another string of lights and it does work, so no problem with the connection. What gives? These are too expensive to not work.

its a 2 prong

That question can not be answered on this forum for the simple fact that every state, city and county has different electrical code requirements. I suggest you contact your city/county electrical inspector and tell them what you want to do and they will tell you if it's within code for that specific jurisdiction. If your plan is not within code, don't do it. Codes are there for a reason, for your safety. If your house burns down, your insurance may have problems with you installing electrical circuits that are not in code. Following the code is your responsibility.

its about 2' apart

I used paint can hooks for hanging paint cans on ladders. They cost 2.49 a piece, but they hang down below gutter. easy up and take down.

It's about 5-6 inches (I am away from the house now and can't measure).

Yes. I use my remote for these lights in the winter and my garden fountains in the summer. Works great!

Neither the box or included instructions state the lights are dimmable. My experience has been if the instructions don't indicate they are dimmable then they are not. If you add a dimmer and the lights flicker they are not dimmable. On the other hand why would you want to dim them. Because the included bulbs a such a low wattage dimming them would leave virtually no light.

I'm not an electrician but I know enough to say "No", it requires a 110 volt AC connection to operate.
