Rope Lights

Bright, Flexible Lighting for Every Project

Few lighting options are as versatile as rope lights. They bend, twist, and tuck into spaces that traditional fixtures can't reach, throwing a smooth, even glow wherever you put them. Whether you're outlining a roofline, accenting a stair rail, or lighting up a wedding tent, the right rope light makes the job easier and the result more impressive.

At Action Lighting™, we stock a wide range of rope lights, including incandescent and LED options, color-changing styles, and low-voltage rope lighting for projects where energy savings matter most.

Choosing the Right Rope Light

Not all rope lights are the same, and picking the right one starts with understanding your project. Here's a quick breakdown of what we carry:

• Incandescent Rope Light: Classic, warm glow with a soft amber tone. Perfect for cozy, traditional installations.
• LED Rope Light: Energy-efficient, long-lasting, and available in a full range of solid colors. Our LED rope lights stay cool to the touch and consume a fraction of the power of incandescent versions.
• RGB Color-Changing Rope Light: Cycle through dozens of colors and effects with a controller or remote. Great for venues, signs, and seasonal displays.
• LED Neon Rope Light: A sleek, modern look that mimics traditional neon without the fragility or high voltage hazards.
• Low Voltage Rope Lighting: 12V and 24V options, ideal for landscape, accent, and safety lighting where lower voltage is preferred.

Sizes That Fit the Job

We carry rope lights in the most popular diameters so you can match the look and output to your space:

• 3/8 Inch Rope Light: Slim and discreet, ideal for tight corners, edge lighting, cabinetry, and detail work.
• 1/2 Inch Rope Light: A bigger, brighter profile for rooflines, pathways, marquees, and architectural outlines.
• 5/8 Inch Round Neon Rope Light: A larger, fuller look with strong visibility from a distance.

Accessories for a Clean Install

A good rope light installation depends on the right hardware. We stock everything you need to wire, mount, and finish the job:

• Power cords and splice connectors
• End caps, T-connectors, and Y-extensions
• Mounting clips, channels, and tracks
• Dimmers, controllers, and RGB remotes
• Invisible splice kits and shrink tube for seamless connections

• Wedding venues and event spaces
• Under-cabinet, cove, and step lighting
• Amusement rides, marquees, and themed displays

Frequently Asked Questions

Are LED rope lights better than incandescent? 

LED rope lights use significantly less energy, last far longer, and stay cool during use. Incandescent rope light still has its place when you want that classic warm glow, but LED is the more efficient long-term choice.

Can rope lights be used outdoors? 

Yes. Most of our rope lights are rated for outdoor use. Just be sure to use compatible weatherproof connectors and end caps for any outdoor installation.

Can I cut rope light to a custom length? 

Most rope lights have marked cut points every few feet. Use the matching splice connectors or end caps to finish each cut cleanly.

What's the difference between 2-wire and 4-wire rope light? 

2-wire rope lights produce a steady or simple chasing effect. 4-wire RGB rope lights connect to a controller for color-changing patterns and dynamic effects.
