What's the difference between 2-Wire and 3-Wire Rope Light?
Q: Whats the difference between STANDARD (2-WIRE) and SUPER (3-WIRE) 120V Rope Light units? A: All units give out the same amount of light and are physically the same dimensions and size. When activated WITHOUT a controller, meaning just simply plugged in, all the types of rope light will simply turn on without any sort of light effects. The difference primarily is that each unit will offer you different unique lighting effects when used WITH a controller. The other differences are the lengths that the rope light can be cut* in. For example, STANDARD rope light can be cut* every 24", and SUPER rope light can be cut* every 48". See below for more information.

| Q: Whats the difference between the mini controllers and large controllers? A: The larger controllers will allow you to control up to 150 feet of rope light, the mini controller will only allow you to control up to 26 feet. Both controllers essentially do the same job, the difference depends on wether you're using Standard or Super. See above question for more information.. |
