Rope lights (miniature bulbs encased in flexible PVC tuning) become more an more popular every year. This holiday season, in the US alone, expect to see more than 5 million linear feet of rope lights get plastered to houses, businesses, landscaping, and everything in between.
What’s the fascination with this product? Simply put–it’s neat. Not only that, but it’s affordable, extremely customizable, and fairly simple for the average person or do-it-yourselfer to install.
Rope lighting is available in a rainbow of colors, sizes, and shapes. The most popular style is 1/2″ diameter 2-wire 120 volt. Most companies sell them on rolls of 150′ for around $90.
Some rope lights, called chasing rope lights, have more than one circuit. By using a chasing controller (around $50) you can make your rope lights appear to move or chase down the length of the run. This option affords a visual vacation from the usual “always on” lights and adds a little flavor to the ordinary decorating lineup.
Whatever your needs are this holiday season, be sure to consider rope lights for your home or business. You won’t be sorry–and, you wont be alone.
