This is an incandesecent rope light - NOT LED. Although the description doesn't claim it is an LED rope light - this was one of the top returns when I searched for LED ROPE LIGHT. That means the light is amber colored and it will get warmer and take more power than an equivilent LED rope light.

We put these rope lights around the fenced-in area of our pool and they emit just the right amount of light. Use the supplied mounting clips ONLY if you plan on never touching them or moving them. I replaced 75% of the clips within two weeks after installation with 3/8" ID cable P-Clips.

I bought this to put around our campsite. It stands up to the abuse of walking over it and little feet accidently kicking it. Good quality, great length.

Good Earth Lighting 48'....we had two different 48' strands of the lighting fail!! I am very disappointed in the product.

I bought four of these 18 months ago. Two of the four have already failed (some LEDs in the center burned out). Plus the plastic clips are cheap as dirt and don't last outside. They started breaking (from weather, I presume - Georgia/USA) within the first 12 months. And all the screws rusted and had to be replaced. I have done nothing but replace the product, clips and screws since I bought these. As soon as I find another manufacturer/supplier, these are going in the trash.

I purchased the light rope and it works well. It is one full-length 48' strand. The great thing is that I put it on a dimmer and it really fits well with the room. Processing time could have been a little faster being that I opted for the faster shipping method, but it probably wasn't necessary. A good product though.

My rope lights only last a year...The product description says....."The lights themselves are extremely long-lasting--they're rated at 35,000 hours". My lights are on a timer for 8 hours a day for 365 days or + - 3,000 hours of use, these didn't even come close. I am going to try to get a free replacement but my guess is I'll get turned down or it will cost more to ship the lights back then what they originally cost....

I bought these lites to replace the old ones I had around my flower planter and down the driveway. The old one's casing had become cloudy and they just weren't as bright as they once were. These took the place just fine. These were much cheaper in cost then the originals I had gotten, and light just as brightly. I like the fact that I can place them between the side of the driveway and grass line and (Once staked down into place) they don't move even when trimming. I have put 3 of them all together and find they all are as bright as the single line I have going down the driveway. Good product. In fact, I'm ordering 2 more for the other side of the driveway. Goodbye solar standup lights! These give you a more consistant light instead of just around the solar light itself.

I agree with those who say the mounting clips included are bad. This is not a problem for the first year. After that if installed where exposed to the elements, they tend to become brittle and will break which then creates a domino effect, where your lighting will cascade to the ground clip by failing clip. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with the included mounting hardware. Go to Lowe's, in the cable/electrical section look for 7/16 Plastic Cable staples made by "Ideal". They can be installed with a small hammer. The lights themselves lasted approximately five years of nightly use. They are NOT L.E.D but then again they DO give off a soft amber-ish light which is perfect if you don't want the garish white L.E.D.'s put out.

Locally they want almost 30$ for 18 feet of rope lighting. This was such a good price, that I got two and saved a lot of money. They connect together in series and light up my campsite like the 4th of July. Great deal for the price.
