LED lights are the latest addition in the lighting world and are catching in on popularity. They are being used everywhere from lighting homes to automobile lighting. LED lights are different from the conventional lights in that they do not have filaments inside them. One variant in the LED lighting category is the LED strips. The LED strips differ from the lights in their design. The strips are a series of small LED lights combined to form a string. The LED strip is used to have small intensity lighting over a larger area.LED-TV

The LED rope lights are great accessory for decorative purposes. They come in wide range of colors and you can choose to match the occasion as well as décor. In fact LED rope lights are a creative way of lighting and can be used anywhere. You can use it to decorate your Christmas tree or line the birthday hall.

Or simple put it on your driveway and porches to give a real elegant feel. LED rope lights are also used in commercial spaces. They are most commonly used for advertisements in commercial areas.

Unlike the candescent lights, the LED rope lights emit very less or no heat. This makes it very safe for use where heat emissions create a problem. Like, for instance, LED strips are the perfect lighting choice for areas where children play. This is a significant feature when we are talking about environmental issue of global warming. The LED strips are classified as a green product due its environment friendly design.

Another great advantage of using the LED strips is that it saves on your electricity bills. The LED lights consume lesser power than the conventional lights. The savings in power range between 10-20% but in the long run, the energy savings is huge. Again, this feature stands to gain in an era where natural sources of energy are fast depleting. The LED strips provide a respite from the rising energy cost as well as help in conserving the energy sources. Even with consuming lesser power, the LED lights are much brighter than the conventional lights.

What is the life of LED rope lights? A conventional rope light will last for about 25,000 hours whereas LED rope lights last for 100,000 hours. The simple math is LED rope lights last four times more than their conventional counterparts. Convert this into the energy savings that the LED lights offer and the total savings turn out to be a considerably higher figure.

The LED lights require either 12V or 24V power. This means that they can be powered even with batteries. Hence you can use them in your car or yacht when you wish for illumination. Since they are environment friendly lights, the best way to power them is using the solar power. You can allow the solar energy to be tapped during the day and use it at night to power the LED rope lights.

The negative, if you want to term it that way, is that the LED lights come at a higher cost. The higher cost is attributed to the process of manufacturing. Unlike the conventional lights which use filaments, the LED lights are solid state bulbs and hence more expensive to manufacture. However, the initial higher investment cost is offset in the long run with a longer life and lesser energy consumption. So if you are thinking of illumination with a red string light, green and yellow strips or a blue rope light, go for the LED strip lights.
