What is the difference between 2 wire and 3 wire rope light?
Novelty Lights sells both 2 wire and 3 wire rope light. 2 wire rope light is a steady burn, always on when power is connected. 3 wire rope light is able to chase but will require the purchase of a chasing controller. Without a chasing controller, the rope light will function like a standard 2 wire, all on rope light.
Is Novelty Lights Rope Light Dimmable?
Yes. We sell both LED and Incandescent rope light. Both technologies are dimmable. However, we recommend the purchase of a LED dimmer to use with our LED rope light.
What do I do if a section of my rope light is off?
Depending on the overall length of the rope light and the length of the section that is bad, you have a couple of options. If the overall length is short, you might find it easier and more cost effective to replace the whole piece with brand new rope light. However, if you have a long run of rope light with a small defective section, you may purchase a replacement piece and splice connections to replace the bad section.
What is the best way to mount Rope Light?
Novelty Lights has two mounting accessories, depending on the application.
The most common accessory is the Rope Light Track. These are 4ft pieces of channeling in clear or black track. The track can be attached to most surfaces using a flat head screw or double sided tape. Track is the best and easiest way to run rope light is straight lines.
We also sell U shaped Rope Light clips. The clips are a clear plastic and can be attached to most surfaces with a screw The clips will allow for more flexible positioning but won’t be as easy or simple to keep in a straight line.
