George Simmons Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Either minis or rope light will fade (if incandescent) and you'll be doing it again in a few years after having watched your creation become a little less appealing each year in the interim. Take John's advice and save yourself some heartache and despair. Yes, yes, we know that's not your way, but try it... you'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farther the viewer is from the frame, the less the apparent difference between the two...Also, with ropelighting attached to the frame with cable wraps, there are no clips to come off, or twist, etc, so the frames store and setup quickly.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
