LED Rope Lighting Fits Snugly Against Right Angle Surfaces
22-JUN-03

Series RPLD02 Rectangular RopeLED measures 0.4 x 0.7 in. and features 21 LEDs/ft spaced 0.55 in. apart. Tubes are marked at intervals where they can be cut, allowing user to customize length or splice together different colored segments. Weather-resistant PVC makes RopeLED suited for outdoor and indoor uses. Lighting comes standard in 120 V; 12 Vdc and 240 V are available options. Average life span of LEDs is 100,000-plus hours.

Rectangular RopeLED Approaches Accent Lighting from a New Angle

TORRANCE, CA - July 22, 2003 - LEDtronics® announces Series RPLD02 Rectangular RopeLED, its newest offering in LED (Light Emitting Diode) accent lighting. Measuring 0.4"H (10.5mm) by 0.7"W (18mm), Series RPLD02 rectangular profile enables it to fit snugly against surfaces that feature right angles. Rectangular RopeLED features 21 LEDs per foot (72 per meter) that are spaced 0.55" (13.9mm) apart. RopeLED tubes are marked at intervals where they can be cut, allowing you to customize the length or to splice together different colored RopeLED segments. Choose from red, blue, green, yellow and white LED colors. RopeLED comes standard in 120V; 12V DC and 240V are available options.

RopeLED is easy to install. Simply connect the RopeLED to the appropriate end of a power cord cable (purchased separately) then plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. RopeLED can he held in place with small plastic clips that snap onto the tube, and then nailed, screwed or glue to an adjacent surface. RopeLED's weather-resistant PVC construction makes it suitable for both outdoor and indoor uses. RopeLED can be employed indoors for emergency pathway lighting, to accent staircases, closets, cabinets, ceilings, etc. Outdoors uses include, but are not limited to, lighting decks, pathways, theme parks, trees, building edge decor lighting and driveways.

Colored PVC tubes are not needed since LEDs emit colored light. The color is determined by the composition of the semiconductor material comprising the diode. Intensity and color remain stable over lamp's lifetime. LED technology is an energy-efficient light source; saving 80% - 90% of energy costs as compared with equivalent incandescent lighting. What's more, RopeLED doesn't get hot so there is no risk of getting burned when you touch it.

Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years) for LEDs, RopeLEDs operate reliably year after year and provide architects, retail store display creators, entertainment designers and other lighting professionals with a practical way to integrate ornamental illumination into maintenance-intensive applications such as casinos, theme and amusement parks, stage lighting, carnivals, and theaters.

Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when it comes to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs to meet the world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive product line encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement Based LED Lamps, low-cost snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LED Lamps, high intensity sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators, surface mount diodes SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs and Infra-Red (IR) LEDs.
