Patent ID: 7021792

Claim:
An elongated rope light, comprising: an elongated mounting strap including an elongate, axial groove and two side ridges; a first and a second electric wires longitudinally extended along the ridges; a first and a second illuminating units on the groove, each illuminating unit being electrically coupled between the electrical wires, and including a plurality of LEDs fixed on a circuit board wherein the LEDs in each illuminating unit are electrically coupled together in series by connecting conductive wires therebetween; the first LED is electrically coupled to a positive terminal of the illuminating unit; the last LED is electrically coupled to a negative terminal of the illuminating unit; a positive terminal of the first illuminating unit is electrically coupled to the first electrical wire, and a negative terminal thereof is electrically coupled to the second electrical wire, and a positive terminal of the second illuminating unit is electrically coupled to the second electrical wire, and a negative terminal thereof is electrically coupled to the first electrical wire; and an outer cover layer for enclosing the first and the second electrical wires, and the first and the second illuminating units by means of injection molding, whereby applying a positive voltage to the first electrical wire with respect to the second electrical wire will lighten up the first illuminating unit with the second illuminating unit off, applying a positive voltage to the second electrical wire with respect to the first electrical wire will lighten up the second illuminating unit with the first illuminating units off.
