I purchased a 150' LED Rope Light 11 months ago and due to sunlight the casing turned a milky white. Will these hold up better in direct sunlight?

because of the constant heat ... the rope lighting will turn milky over time but still work great

I bought them in the summer and put them up to light my porch, but they are not in direct sunlight though. I've been very happy with them so far though.

I got mine in the Fall so I haven't had them long enough to know how they will hold up. I'm in Vegas so they will have to endure "very" direct sunlight and extreme heat. I can do a follow up after the Summer when I know how they survived.

I used them for an outside fixture and had no issues. But its only been a year. So far so good

mine have been in service for years with no problems. i have this in a walkway brick light, some of which fill with water and sand covering the led, and i just clean them off. couldnt be happier!

They seem to be very heavy duty, and are "commercial". So they may survive the winter. However, I am taking my in this fall and replacing w Christmas lights. They'll last longer that way.

haven't had any problems with this. I have them in enclosed globes both ceiling and wall and they do just fine. I think the key is that it not be a sealed fixture. In other words, if air/dust can get into the globe it's probably going to be fine. If the light has a seal / gasket of some sort around it to make it airtight/dust proof, then I wouldn't recommend it. Best LED lights I've purchased so far!

My use is in the basement for a special purpose; however, I can say that they are a good quality, unlike some cheap bungee cords I bought in the past. My guess is that you should have no problem with these lasting in the sun for a few years.

The led will be damaged before the acrylic or polycarbonate from heat. They should both withstand the heat just fine.

I'm using them outside in a fixture that has a vented top & solid sides. They replaced incandenscents that worked OK and after a couple months seem to be doing fine. I'm in a warm & humid climate; can't speak to what would happen if very cold.

They do have a pretty thick outer-casing, but I am sure that eventually it would rot. Plus the connection that attached to the actually lights to give it power is exposed. I feel like if it got wet it would ruin it. personally I would not use it around a pool. Maybe for a display overnight, like 4th July or something. not permanent. I hope this helps. I have it around the casing of my door, for holiday lights. The power connections are under and the eve and I have it protected in a large zip lock bag. : )

I used 4 strings of these in an event hall in lieu of using the super unattractive fluorescent hall lights. They were on for at least 6-7 hours with no problem. I actually think they are better suited for indoor use as they are not as sturdy as commercial quality outdoor string lights (they're good quality, the construction of them is just more akin to like.... The large bulb Christmas lights).

Hi Sandra, I'm not sure about any UV issues regarding the usage of these lights. There are numerous studies on the benefits of the red lights and blue lights. I would suggest asking the seller. Good luck.

No, The ones I purchased have a whiter light - similar to a daylight white florescent bulb. They have been in use now 12 hours a day for 7 months with no failures.

I really didn't see a warranty but if this fixture comes un damaged you will have no problem with the LED's in it I have ordered two and have no issue with them for the past 6 months.

These lights only lasted 6 months of daily use, the manufacturer will not warranty them, I don't recommend them at all. I got stuck with junk . Good luck

Don't know. In my experience, however, they have been less robust than I had hoped for my application. They continue to light, even as they have fallen apart.

I have had my lights for about a year now. So far I have had no trouble with them. My lights are not exposed to the elements as they are under a tonneau cover.The led lights are bright enough to light up the entire bed at night. My lights are connected to a pre wired switch on my console. Hope this helps you.

Not to my knowledge . These light worked well this summer on the grand kids swing set but are dark now . Compared to the white string of solar lights which are still shining .
