High Voltage LED Rope:
These LED strips run off of straight-line voltage, 120VAC. The 120 degree throw from the LEDs helps with this as well as it really spreads the light and doesn’t come off looking spotty. The LEDs are wired in parallel within the strip so when one LED goes out, the whole string will not cut out.
The LEDs are held in a flexible rubber housing. The housing is covered by a PVC lens which also blocks UV rays. The heavy-duty design and PVC covering make for water resistant led lights that are fantastic for outdoor use.
Usually you will have to find a power supply sufficient enough for your length of strip, then worry about how you are going to connect it to the power source. These strips allow you to just plug and play and if you need a gap in your strips, there are jumpers available to go from strip to strip.
The most intriguing part of these strips is the long run lengths. When working with 120V led strips it can be a pain to run longer lengths as you must run parallel strips and wiring because of the voltage drop. This strip can span for lengths up to 150 feet in a single run.
The strip can be cut every 5 feet so you are able to cut down the strip relatively close to the size of your application, whatever that may be. If you need to cut just cut right along the line marked on the strip. Whereas many flex strips have an adhesive backing for quick, simple lighting; the heavier duty AC strip does not have any adhesive backing. The strip can be used with mounting clips that give enough for 1 for every 3 feet give or take. There is also a plastic mounting track that the strip can slide into for mounting purposes. This protects the strip even more but also keeps the strip straight with no slight curves or bumps. Additional mounting ideas: U-shaped nails, brackets, aluminum channel.
