Plug-in, cuttable LED rope light on 50 ft and 150 ft reels for indoor and outdoor use.
120V LED rope lights are flexible ½-inch tubes lined with LEDs that plug into a standard 120V outlet through a power cord with a built-in rectifier. Our reels come in 50 ft and 150 ft lengths, cut at marked intervals, and most dim from 5% to 100% on a compatible dimmer. They are UV-protected and rated for indoor and outdoor use, in warm white, cool white, moon white and six colors.
A 120V LED rope light is a run of LEDs sealed inside a flexible, UV-protected ½-inch tube. It has just two connections, power and neutral, so it plugs into a standard 120V outlet through a 2-wire power cord with a built-in rectifier. Because it runs on line voltage, you can light long lengths without worrying about voltage drop.
Our reels come in 50 ft and 150 ft lengths. You can cut them at the factory cut marks to fit a deck, cove or railing, then add connectors, end caps and clips from our rope light accessories. Need a ready-made short length? See 20, 30 and 65 ft rope light kits.
Every rope on this page runs on 120V and is rated for indoor and outdoor use. The lines differ in brightness, power draw, cut spacing and warranty, so pick by how hard the rope will work.

Most of our 120V rope lights dim smoothly from 5% to 100% on a dimmer made for LED loads. Here is what to know before you wire it up.
Dimming range on Endura, Standard and Flexbrite reels with a compatible LED dimmer or our RLA-450 rectifier and RF remote.
Typical maximum run from one power cord. Uncoil the full reel before you plug it in.
Possible run with an 8-amp rectifier without voltage drop, per our rope light guidance. Endura ships with an 8-amp rectifier.
Dust-tight and protected against water spray from any angle. Not submersible.
Choose warm white (2700K–3000K) for a soft, incandescent-like glow, moon white for a natural look, or cool white (5000K) for crisp light. Endura also comes in amber, blue, red, purple, green and orange.

Power cords, splice connectors, T and X connectors, end caps, mounting clips and clear channel let you split a reel into several runs and mount it cleanly. Premium and Deluxe kits bundle them with a reel.

Measure each run and round up to the next cut mark. One 150 ft reel can be cut into several runs, each with its own power cord.
Warm white (2700K–3000K) suits homes and patios. Cool white (5000K) gives a crisper, brighter-looking light.
Use a dimmer made for LED loads, or the RLA-450 dimmable rectifier with RF remote. Check the rope's dimming spec.
IP65 rope handles rain, not submersion. Fit end caps on every run and use heat shrink over outdoor splices.
