Are you considering outdoor rope
lighting? Rope lighting has become popular in recent years as a way of
decorating and illuminating outdoor spaces. However, it has a number of
disadvantages that can make them a poor choice over the long run. Many people
who have experience with outdoor rope lighting are now looking for better,
dependable, more versatile alternatives.
At first, installing rope lights seems
simple, but it can be difficult to get the effect you want. For example, you
may want to install lights along a stone path in the yard, but because rope
lighting is prone to twisting, it can be hard to get the lights to look even or
straight. The same holds true for placing rope lights along the eaves of the
house. Working with rope lights often involves cutting, splicing, or soldering
-- tasks that can be tricky unless you are a DIY enthusiast.
Rope lights are advertised as suitable
for outdoor use, but depending on the product you choose, it can be affected by
moisture, sun exposure, and other weather conditions. Often Canadian winter
conditions cause rope lights to crack or to stop working altogether.
Permanent
LED Strip Lighting
So what is the best alternative to rope
lighting? The answer to that question may require thinking about why you want
to illuminate your outdoor space. Most people like the idea of lights in the
backyard or the garden in order to create a fun and festive atmosphere. In the
summer, Canadians love to enjoy warm evenings barbecuing with friends, having
drinks on the deck, roasting marshmallows over a terra cotta fire pit, or
soaking in the hot tub. Outdoor lighting can help to make all of these kinds of
experiences more fun and festive.
But what if you could install a
hassle-free, dependable lighting system that would both light up your summer
evenings and help you to celebrate
special occasions all year long? Permanent LED strip lighting may be the
solution you are looking for your home.
