Is there a rule of thumb for the distance between led pond lights? We purchased a led aquascape pond lighting set and need more distance between lights now we have apps 5ft between lights and would like to increase the distance between them.

Welcome!
Lighting for a pond is for appearance only, so arrange the lights to whatever arrangement looks best to you.

Do you mean adding more wire to give you more distance or is there enough wire to spread them out farther .
Lighting design is both an art and a science. But Mitch is right, it's for appearance, and your pond features like plants, waterfalls, etc. are most likely what you want to light. Then there is the consideration of where "the audience" views the lit area from. When you have those figured out you can place lights as you see fit to highlight your pond. Also, Home Depot and Lowe's both sell additional lights, cable, etc as needed.
