Rope Lights

Illuminate your space with the versatility of rope lights from 1000Bulbs.com. Whether you’re wrapping trees, outlining architectural features, or creating DIY rope light word art (learn how), our extensive selection of LED rope lights and incandescent options offers the perfect solution for accent, task, or decorative lighting.

Available in rope light kits and spools, our rope lights come in a wide range of colors, voltages, and lengths, with included accessories like end caps, power cords, and mounting clips to help you finish your project with ease.

Wet Location Rated

All uncut rope lights are UL listed for wet locations, making them ideal for outdoor applications like bushes, patios, or Christmas displays. Just avoid full submersion—LED rope lights are splash resistant, not waterproof. If you're splicing for color changes, use waterproof shrink-wrap connectors and ensure power sources are kept dry.

Rope Lighting Accessories

From mounting clips to channels and shrink tubes, we stock all the rope light accessories you need for both 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch diameters. For curved applications or signage, clips help shape and hold your design securely. You can also explore our black lights for unique event effects.

Rope Light vs. LED Strip Light

Not sure if rope light is right for you? Compare it to LED tape light in our blog breakdown. Rope lighting is more durable and round for 360° glow, while tape light is slim and adhesive-backed for low-profile installations.

Buyer's Guide to Rope Lights

Warm White: Cozy glow like incandescent bulbs—great for cove lighting.
Cool White: Crisp, bluish light (approx. 4000K) ideal for task lighting.
Pearl White: Soft tone between warm white and yellow.
Chasing Rope Lights: Used with a chasing controller (sold separately) for blinking or flashing effects.
Standard Rope Lights: Constant-on—no blinking.
Rope Light Kits: All-in-one plug-and-play solution with hardware and pre-attached cords.

Rope Light Care Tips

To prevent damage, always bend rope lights in one direction when installing or storing. Repeated back-and-forth bending can weaken internal wiring and shorten lifespan.

Rope Light FAQs

Can rope light be used as the only lighting in a room?

Uncut rope light is splash-resistant and UL rated for wet locations but is not submersible.

Can I cut rope lights anywhere?

Only at designated cut marks—check the product spacing.

Incandescent rope lights are; LED rope lights are not.

Do rope lights require a transformer?
