How does a rope light work?

There are many varieties of rope light. The biggest difference would be either LED or incandescent bulbs.

Another difference between LED and Incandescent rope light is that the incandescent PVC tube contains color while the LED PVC tubing is clear and the color is given off by the diodes themselves.
