Rope Lights Overview

We offer three types of rope lights, Incandescent Rope Lights, Standard LED Rope Lights & LumaFLEX Premium LED Rope Lights. An overview is provided on this page, and the links will take you to more information and to the order pages. Beware: White LED's can be made with warm white LED's or cool white LED's (the color temperature is called warm white or cool white). Cool white LED's often have a blue cast when illuminated. This is sometimes considered harsh white, as with fluorescent lighting. Depending on your application, most people prefer WARM white LED's.

The cool white LED's are still generally the preferred choice for exterior lighting, utility areas, and areas with blue or green content. Cool white LED's are generally slightly brighter than "warm" white LED's.

Warm white LED's are more preferable in "living" areas, and complement rich wood tones, skin tones and most food. We offer a variety of LED lights, both cool white and warm white, as well as some red and blue LED's.


Incandescent Rope Lights Incandescent Rope Lights (3/8" diameter / round) produce heat as a byproduct. The PVC jacket tends to hold that heat in, which actually acts to shorten the life span of the bulbs. Therefore, the longevity of this product is shortened by normal use. If it is covered, or placed in a groove, the heat build-up can be even greater, and the longevity can be shortened even more. The ambient temperature can also be an issue. Incandescent bulbs are susceptible to voltage fluctuations, and will perform best when your voltage is well regulated. The recommended air temperature for incandescent rope light is -4 degrees to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The color temperature of the incandescent rope lights is 2600K.

LED Rope Lights Standard LED Rope Lights (3/8" diameter / round) are a more modern alternative. LED Rope Lights are very efficient and produce very little heat. Another advantage to LED Rope Lights - LED's have no filament to break. LED's generally last 30,000 to 50,000 or more hours. LED Rope Lighting is the longest lasting rope lighting available. LED's, being the better product, are more expensive. The recommended air temperature for LED rope light is -4 degrees to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The color temperature of the LED rope lights is 3300K for warm white, and 5500K for cool white.
