Have you heard
of outdoor rope lights? They are
great for decorating your deck or patio, especially if you entertain
during the
summer months. They offer a unique decor and provide light while you
are
partying at night in your yard. The lights can be hung quite easily and
can be
taken down and stored when not required.
Unlike
most other types of lights, outdoor rope lights allow the installer to
be creative.
These lights can be hung practically anywhere. They can be arranged to
spell
out someone's name or anything you like. If you have a gazebo or a
trellis, you
can string up these lights to provide added lighting and to give the
area a
more attractive appearance.
Outdoor
rope lights can also enhance your house during a holiday season. Most
of these
lights use LED lighting now. These particular lights are quite reliable
and can
save up to ninety percent on your energy costs. To avoid excessive
movement of
the lights, they should be affixed a regular points to help keep them
in place.
Outdoor
rope lights cannot be cut. If they need to be cut, it has to be done at
the
factory.
Another
popular use of outdoor rope lights is to light up a driveway. This is
especially
useful in a rural setting that does not have any streetlights. Many
people use
them to light their swimming pool at night. Anyone who has a pool knows
that a
late night swim can be invigorating. Lighting the pool area is also a
good
safety feature.
We
have even seen outdoor rope lights used indoors for lighting up a stage
for a
theatre production. As you can see, there are many different uses for
these
types of lights.
Outdoor
rope lights are come in long tubes that consist of half-watt mini light
bulbs.
Each bulb is spaced approximately one inch apart. The tubes themselves
consist
of a clear or colored PVC resin tube.
Now,
you may be wondering how long outdoor rope lights last. They will last
for
approximately twenty-five thousand hours of use. They can feel warm to
the
touch but do not worry; they will not burn or scorch anything.
The
most common color of outdoor rope lights is white. However, you can
purchase
them in other colors such as red, blue, yellow or purple. Usually, you
purchase
the lights in a kit, which will include fifty feet of light coils along
with
the power cord, connectors and clips for fastening the lights in place.
