Rope Light

[caniac]

I have opted for incan rope light on some new props this year and have always bought my rope light from Novelty Lights.  Always worked like a charm but this years batch has issues.  Biggest one is the cut marks, took me a few tries to notice that the cut mark is center over one of the lights.  Not a good thing for rope light, I back off a quarter inch then cut and all is well.  Has anyone else had these issues?

I buy all my incan rope light from Action Lighting but the same has been true no matter the vendor.  I always inspect the cut mark and the wires inside to make sure they match.  I always go by what I see in the wiring as the cut marks can be slightly off.  1/4 inch can make a big difference.
