Ok go ahead, call me an idiot! My mind must be totally fried or maybe relapse from the 70's. Anyway, if a guy was to install rope lighting around his side windows, does it go up one side, across the top and back down the other side of THAT window? It doesn't go across the bottom does it? I simply can't recall! I hope it doesn't to be honest but I keep thinking something will be missing! Oh yea, my mind! LOL

It pretty much goes where YOU want it.

Ace: I have them just across the top.

Don't know about around windows (other than whatever Susan wants), but when we put rope lighting in our pantry and cabinets we went up one side, across the top, and down the other side.  Jack

I don't know from windows, Ace but they sure create an atmosphere when installed around the base of a king sized bed! Hehehe.

You got that right bob, around here they help me find the bathroom without stubbing my toes.

Ace,

The commercial conversions go up, across, and down.  There is not rope lighting on the bottom.

I hope you have a better experience with rope lighting than I did. I bought some conventional (non-LED) rope of the 12 VDC type and installed it in a hidden valence over my windows.  I was shooting for some soft indirect lighting I could have on while I was night driving.  I think I got less than 200 hours of use out of it before portions of it started to fail.  A foot of it would go dark, then another foot, and before I knew it I lost 50% of the lighting.  The LED stuff is probably better.
