What should I look for when buying rope lights?
When it comes to picking rope lights, it’s important to consider where you want to use them and what colours match best with your theme or space. From traditional red to candy cane rope lights, there are a variety of choices available. Beyond colours, other factors to consider are:
· Energy efficiency
· Length of rope
· Lifespan
In general, LED rope lights are the most energy-efficient option and can last up to 50,000 hours on average. Rope lights can run up to 23-ft in length, making them ideal to string across various areas indoors or outdoors. Plus, most LED rope lights can be cut to fit a specific length. Make sure to follow any manufacturer’s recommendations prior to cutting.
How do you hang rope lights?
Depending on which rope lights you go for, some include hanging clips. First, start by planning out where you want to hang the lights. From your Christmas Tree to your roofline, creating a beautiful ambiance starts with mapping out the length of your chosen spot. Once you’ve got your rope lights ready, use adhesive tape, clips or hanging hooks to keep them secure.
Do rope lights heat up?
It’s important to remember that while LED rope lights generate a small amount of heat, they’re safe to touch. That in mind, we still advise to turn off the lights when they’re not in use.
