What are the main differences between rope lights and string lights?
Rope lights have flexible plastic housings that can be bent and twisted to provide even and consistent lighting. String lights, on the other hand, are usually made up of individual bulbs in series and have a cleaner look. Rope lights appear as a continuous band of light, while string lights are made up of multiple individual bulbs connected together.
Rope and string lights each offer unique advantages for both decorative and functional lighting needs. In this article, we will compare these two lighting options as well as introduce the unique benefits of JC-LGL's string lights for application scenarios.
What are Rope lights?
Rope lights are flexible lighting fixtures with a series of LED or incandescent bulbs embedded inside and wrapped externally in a clear or frosted plastic housing. Due to the special design of the housing, rope lights can be bent and twisted to adapt to different spaces and shapes, providing a high degree of flexibility.
Rope lights are often used for contour decoration, creating atmosphere or enhancing visual effects. They are widely used in homes, gardens, commercial places, etc. They are suitable for holiday decorations, signage, lighting illumination and embellishment of building facades.
A key advantage of rope lights is that they are brighter than string lights and provide a steady, uninterrupted light. Unlike string lights, rope lights provide an even and consistent illumination that is ideal for outlining structures such as decks, pathways and stairs.
Additionally, rope lights are more durable than traditional decorative string lights, as the outer layer of thick plastic protects the wires and filaments from damage. And since modern rope lights are often waterproof, they can be an innovative solution for pathway lighting, avoiding the cost of more expensive street lights, while also being very practical under eaves, in cabinets and more.
What are String Lights?
String lights are lighting fixtures that consist of multiple small bulbs or LED beads strung together in a long line. They are usually connected with soft wires or plastic threads, suitable for hanging, winding or decorating various objects and spaces, and are widely used for holiday decorations, parties, indoor and outdoor environments to create an atmosphere.
The light of string lights is soft and decorative, and common applications include Christmas, parties, and yard lighting. Unlike rope lights, the bulbs of string lights are usually scattered, and different bulb shapes, colors, or light effects may be used to achieve richer visual effects. Modern string lights mostly use LED light beads, which are not only energy efficient, but also have a longer service life and lower heat output, making them suitable for prolonged use.
