--- Quote from: whines on December 17, 2008, 10:24:32 am ---Note that incandescent rope lights produce a LOT of heat (relative to the light they produce) and give a very yellowish light.
If you look around you can find LED rope lights, which are brighter, cooler, and use less power...they tend to have a blue tinge though.
--- End quote ---
They are only blue when you are sitting in a room lit by crusty orange incandescent lights. If you are outside in daylight they are a perfect match normally, and that means that you get better colours out of the marquee. If you use incandescent lamps then you lose all the blues and violets.

It took forever for me to finish these next three because the weather just wouldn't cooperate and let me paint outside.
Only Joust is illuminated, and it doesn't really show in the photograph. I haven't had much luck finding good light fixtures for inside, that are affordable and not to hot.
More to come. 8)

Not sure what you definition of more affordable is but this 30 Led strip is only $9.80 with free shipping.

They look real nice, I have been meaning to do something like that too. Do you have any pics from the backside? or any more pics during the building process? Keep up the good work and please let us know what type of lighting works out best.
