A rope light is a seasonal product. It is generally consumed in the winter. The volume of consumption of rope lights during wintry weather accounts for the majority of the quantity used per year. In particular, incorporating them into solid-state LEDs as a cutting-edge light source, LED rope lights have recently achieved rapid growth in the outdoor advertising market. An LED rope light provides the ultimate solution for high-end, flexible lighting with its ultra-bright effect, long life span, and minimum maintenance costs.



Versatility
It is ideal for both building outlining and interior decoration. The soft tone of the LED lighting provides a feeling of warmth. An LED rope light is long-lasting (lasts up to 20 years), emits virtually no heat, and requires very little power consumption. Recommended uses include: marker and edge lighting applications, decks, railings, building exteriors, displays, shop windows and store fronts, architectural detailing, decorative figures, motifs and displays, lounges, bars, and clubs. Most lighting products are consumed in the winter. Likewise, a demand for rope light products also increases during this time. One half of the total volume of rope lights is consumed in the winter every year. According to many rope light manufacturers, approximately 300,000 ~ 400,000-m rope lights are used monthly, and new, versatile lighting products, including LED rope lights, have constantly increased their market share. In the case of existing rope lights, a small bulb (3-mm in diameter) is installed at regular intervals. Except for the fact that the bulbs are replaced with LEDs in rope lights, the technical aspects and applications of LED rope lights are similar with those of other rope lights.

Tiny Light Potential
Because LEDs are linked with a slim and slender electric wire, an installer should be careful not to haul both ends of LED rope lights strongly or not to twist them. LED rope lights are roughly divided into a round-shaped and a square-shaped form. Its covering is made of PVC or PET materials. Unlike other rope lights, the color of the covering of LED rope lights is colorless and transparent, since LED lamps express certain colors of rope lights. Five colors, including red, blue, green, yellow, and a transparent tone, are available in the market. The red and yellow colors of LED rope lights are greatest in demand, while blue LED rope lights offer splendid and brilliant color. These LED rope lights have also achieved a steadily increasing market share. LEDs (Light emitting diodes) are the new wave of light technology. LEDs are basically tiny light bulbs that, unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, have no filament. Because they have no filament, they require less energy, produce less heat, and last a great deal longer. With LEDs, energy is not wasted in heating a filament, and a greater percentage of power is directly generating light, making them much brighter than traditional bulbs. Furthermore, the bulbs are constructed out of heavy plastic, and, therefore, remarkably durable.

Fascinating Chasing Effect
It had been expected for a long time that LED lamps would be replaced with traditional light sources, including fluorescent lamps, incandescent light, halogen, and neon. Currently, most traditional bulbs are being replaced with LEDs. For example, LED lamps have been applied into a variety of areas, such as channel letters, signal lights, and vehicles. LEDs provide ultimate solutions to interior and exterior applications. Several years ago, LEDs were applied on rope lights to double the marketing and promotion impact of offices, shops, workplaces, and whole buildings. They create a fascinating chasing effect, as each bulb turns on and off one by one in a sequential order. As such, they have become an ideal choice for eye-catching lighting.
