I have rope lights that I need to put up but I cannot see what you are using !! I thought it would be simple 14mm cable clips but I cant seem to buy them anywhere!!
@dancingwizard3 I'm using a small clear plastic cable clamp. They have these in different sizes....in the electrical department at most hardware stores. I then used a longer screw than what came with them. I have a couple videos that show you more about the install & might give you some better views of the clips I used. Thanks for your comments & good luck with your project. Joe :0
@gaitkeeper Not sure what you are referring to as a raceway as the rope lighting needs to be exposed all the way around as I wanted the light to shine up, sideways, & down all at the same time. A raceway (the type I know of) would've prevented this from happening. That's why I used the clamps. I installed the rope lighting on a handrail. Look at the other rope lighting videos I did & you'll see what I mean. Thanks for your comments. Joe :0
@radrickdavis The clamps I was using were clear colored that wrapped around the rope lighting then had a screw hole in the bottom of the clamp to attach the rope lighting to the handrail, or wherever. I found these clamps in the electrical department at the hardware store. There were 3 different sizes of these clamps & I got the ones that fit the diameter of the rope lighting the best. I used the clear clamps as they blended into the rope lighting the best. Not sure what the brand was. Joe :0
@tictac2300 You have a point...well taken. I've had that problem all of my life.....I think I get it from my Mom lol (sorry Mom). In any case, usually I feel that the more I talk....the more you learn..... but in this case I would have to agree with you. I will take this as constructive criticism & thank you for telling me what you thought. Hopefully you got what I was telling you here on this video in a long winded way lol! I hope that doesn't stop you from watching more videos. Joe :0
@VideoJoeKnows lol im sorry man.I was just getting a little fustrated,but yea lol.You was wasting alot of video time doing absolutely nothing lol.But" yes" your videos have been very helpfull thanks.
@tictac2300 Thank you again for the constructive criticism for this particular video clip. It has been noted that I'm a "rambling man" lol & I will work on that & be more conscious of that in "joe's" future videos. If you don't tell, "joe" won't know, so thank you! Keep watching. Joe :0

Why not use raceway? If you're doing less than 25' then you could probably get away with spending less than $10 and it would be perfectly straight.

What kind of clamps were you using. Will Command brand work? It's hard to see in the video what supplies you were using.
