Are you in the market for some new lighting for your commercial space? If so, you may be wondering what the difference is between commercial rope lights, string lights, and cafe lights, and which one is the best choice for your needs. We’ll take a closer look at each type of lighting and the pros and cons of each, as well as mention that here at Century Commercial Service, we offer installation services for all of these types of lights at commercial properties.
Commercial Rope Lights
Rope lights are long, flexible tubes that contain small bulbs inside. They are often used to add lighting to the edges of a space or to highlight a particular feature. Rope lights are generally more durable and longer lasting than string lights, making them a good choice for commercial spaces that need reliable lighting.
One of the main advantages of rope lights is that they can be easily bent or shaped to fit around corners or other obstacles, making them very versatile. They are also generally easy to install and can be cut to fit any length.
On the downside, rope lights can be more expensive to purchase than string lights and may not be as visually appealing. They also may not provide as much light as some other types of lighting.
String Lights
String lights, also known as fairy lights, are made up of small bulbs on a wire string. They are often used to add a decorative touch to a space, such as hanging them around a patio or wrapping them around a tree. String lights are generally more delicate than rope lights and may not be as long lasting, which may make them less suitable for commercial spaces that experience a lot of foot traffic or other wear and tear.
However, string lights are very affordable and can add a cozy, warm atmosphere to any space. They are also very easy to install and can be hung or wrapped around almost any surface.
Cafe Lights
Cafe lights, also known as bistro lights or market lights, are a type of string light that is used to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. They are often used in outdoor spaces such as patios or decks, and are hung from poles or beams. Cafe lights are typically larger and more industrial in appearance than traditional string lights.
One of the main advantages of cafe lights is that they provide a lot of light and can be used to illuminate larger spaces. They are also very durable and can withstand wind and other outdoor elements.
