You've seen them in restaurants and theaters--those tubes full of lights proprietors use to mark stair edges and other potential hazards that might be fallen down or tripped over in dim light. That's not to say that Good Earth Lighting's rope lighting products can only be used in public venues--you could use them as funky accent lighting in a living room, party lighting, or to outline a path in your backyard.
The key to using these lights to full effect is mounting them securely, and everything you need in order to do this is included in the hardware kit, which contains mounting clips, cable ties, and screws. The lights themselves are extremely long-lasting--they're rated at 35,000 hours, and the heavy-duty PVC rope is an unobtrusive 3/8-inch in diameter. For longer runs, you can easily connect one set to another (up to 330 feet maximum).
The G9512CLR-I is 12 feet long, and operates at 120 volts. If you need different lengths, see the 6-, 24-, and 48-foot models (#G9506CLR-I, #G9524CLR-I, #G9548CLR-I). Note that these lights will heat up when in use--they should not be left on unattended. UL listed.--Josh Dettweiler

Nice and bright:
Its a pretty bright strand and the plastic is soft enough to easily bend to fit your needs. Comes with mount clips if you want to run it along a wall or desk.
Rope Lighting:
Nice product - used to accent our livingroom entertainment center. Good delivery, smooth transaction. Thank you.
good but not as bright as expected:
I saw an article about using this for under counter supplemental lighting. Well the photos must have been long exposures because these are truly not adequate for lighting a work area.
They are wonderful for subtle light in a room though.
Part of this intermittently fails to stay lit unless I jiggle the thing around, so there is some type of loose connection inside it.
Over all nice product. Can't blame the product for my unreasonable expectations.
Good enough for most uses:
I bought these to create some interesting lighting effects in my home office and bedroom. I found them easy to install using the provided clips. (I used my own screws as those provided are extremely cheap and don't seat properly on any drill bit--they appear somewhere near a Phillips 1 point, but don't seat correctly and are virtually unusable). All of my lights worked just fine right out of the box. Installations tips: 1) Get yourself some quality size #10 .5 inch screws from your hardware store.... more info
