What is the difference between “white” and “clear” standard incandescent rope lights?
A colored standard incandescent rope light is created by coloring the outer plastic tubing, so that it essentially acts like a color filter. A “clear” incandescent rope light has a transparent outer tubing, so what you get is the direct warm white light of the incandescent bulb. “White” incandescent rope light is actually considered a colored rope light and has a white-colored outer tubing. This look softens and diffuses the light and is commonly referred to as a “frosted” look. Clear rope light is by far the more popular choice.
