Rope lights are lights inside a plastic cord used for decorative lighting.
The rope light controller, which allows consumers to choose the type of light motion, such as flash or chase, can short circuit. This poses shock, fire and burn hazards. The lights are 9 feet long with a white electrical cord. The other side of the controller is shaped to look like a bear or dog wearing a bow tie. During this same period, fundraising organizations gave the lights as prizes.
