Lightacles Magnetic String Lights: Connected by Magnet

String lights that extend by clicking strands together, not threading connectors. Light, connected by magnet. Client · Lightacles, delivered through Gembah Sector · Consumer lighting Services · Electrical architecture, connector specification, schematic Engagement · One week focused advisory The challenge Traditional indoor string lights are sold in fixed lengths because of how the electrics work. The lights run as banks of parallel LEDs in a series circuit, with flashing controlled by switching voltage polarity, and that architecture cannot be cut or extended without breaking the circuit. The approach The architecture moves the lights from a series circuit to a re spliced series in parallel arrangement that supports extension through a magnetic splice without breaking the chain. Each segment is terminated at both ends with a magnetic connector that polarity aligns automatically when two strands click together. The outcome Component selection prioritised existing platform parts: an off the shelf transformer, standard LED banks and a magnetic connector pulled from established consumer electronics catalogues. The factory works directly with the customer rather than through a separate contract manufacturer, which kept the deliverable focused on what the manufacturer needed to quote against. Our role Enki provided design and engineering advisory to Lightacles, delivered through Gembah, focused on the electrical architecture and the magnetic connector specification rather than full industrial design. Scope covered the splice strategy, transformer voltage planning, the component schematic and off the shelf component selection. “A schematic that lets a factory quote correctly is worth more than a deck full of renders.” Ben Jones, Founder, Enki Product Development
