There's no way to cut it.....these string lights are too legit to quit!!! They really look fantastic ran in multiple sets all controlled together with the govee home app. These are perfect for just about any situation, back yard, campsite, pavilion or shop. Fantastic lights, I'll be buying many more.
The lights themselves are great… however the post that is pounded into the ground should not have the male part of the connection screw and nut. It should have the female piece to prevent damage to the male post. The male part should be in the bottom of the light. I live in Arizona and our ground is berry hard and has a lot of rock in it. This might not be a problem in other soil conditions
