Having worked professionally with ropelight since it was first patented and sold as a VERY expensive architectural material it's been very interesting watching the way it has changed and evolved. It's one of the most rugged ways to create an outline of light around an outdoor frame with both physical protection and (usually) moisture protection too.
I used to call this tubelight to separate it from the original ropelight from the bygone disco era, which was literally a hose with a string of christmas style lights pulled through it to get a simple chasing effect inside. But the classic tungsten and LED Christmas lighting material seems to have taken over the title of ropelight now.
This pack of material was bought from a local hardware store in Ramsey (Isle of Man) called Feltons. If I have to be honest, the main reason for buying it was the mismatch between the picture on the front and the specification on the back. It was the anticipation of what might actually be inside. As it turns out it is quite an acceptable LED version for lower intensity applications like home use. It also comes with a power supply that appears to be UK compliant, which is not really surprising for something that has been imported through the formal channels.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
