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
(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.

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.
