Neon Rope Light

[matouse3]

Has anyone worked with this stuff? Is it easy to use? Easy to mount? How do you mount?

Uh, yeah, I know. They are less than informative as to the simplicity of use. I just was inquiring as to if anyone here has used the stuff? The instructions also lack any mounting information, so I was interested in how this was accomplished.

There are rope light mounting brackets -- just google for those. This product is nothing unique. Flexible led strips are easy enough to use. I have them under my kid's car bed to make it glow. I have rgb however to change color.

Thanks, the neon stuff looked thicker than a standard led rope light like I've seen at HD and such. I probably just need to get my hands on it.
Thanks again.

What are you using it for? There are lots of other options out there.

I use this in place of neon, where the "rope" itself is visible. If back-lighting, under the cabinet, under bed, under car, whatever lighting, there are much cheaper options. This stuff is great though for building "neon" signs. Only catch is it can't be cut anywhere, only in certain lengths. Just have to plan accordingly and use black out as necessary.

Thanks guys. My thought was to use this to outline a sign that I have. It has a nice even light, unlike the regular led rope lighting so I'm leaning this direction. The limitations on the cutting are a concern, but I think I can run the extra behind the wall to hide it. Cost varies drastically from $12/ft to $3.60/ft depending on the seller and then there are the connections and power cords to hook up. We'll see if I can find a decent package that won't break the bank. If anyone sees something out there, be sure to throw it my way.

Thanks again.

If you need to black out a section, use either black electrical tape, or that 1/2" flex wiring duct used in cars.!
