So right now along the edge of the stage we have a sting of 18ga zip cord with red led's pushed though the jacketing to the conductors. each led has it's own resistor and is shrink wrapped in place.
I'm trying to build a new solution or get some one else's take on the whole design. these strings tend to get damaged, and need to be rebuilt quite frequently.
one thought is to solder the led and the resistors to a small piece of bread board and pour marine resin over them so they harden and won't get damaged, this would help keep the LED pointing up. other plan would be dim EL Wire.
Unfortunatly, ropelight doesn't really work in our situation due to the heat and the overall cost. but it doesn't need to dim or be controlled, it will just be plugged in and left on pretty much 24/7.
any ideas or suggestions
