Rope Lights

Rope lights are literally "ropes of light" that are made from flexible, rolls of clear plastic.

Lengths vary, but the main advantage to this type of lighting is that you can use it decoratively and to provide safety and delineate pathways, awnings and outdoor stairs. RV users like rope lighting for mounting on awnings, energy efficient folks like LED rope lights for lighting stairs and outdoor area. Why LED? These lights provide greater illumination, last longer (up to 60,000 hours) and use less electricity (85% less) than traditional incandescent bulbs.
