Can't tell you what it might be, but maybe I can tell you what it was. I think it was "Not Cheap".
You are right, it wasn't cheap, I got 165 feet of LED rope light plus 30 power cords and end caps so it added up quite a bit.
jnealand is the closest, I'm going to turn these lights into three 5 foot x 5 foot Halloween singers (all three will be 5 channels each)
