I've installed some line voltage rope lighting (120v) on a decorative crown-moulding type of ledge and now the decorator wants me to put it up against the wall which is papered.
The top of the ledge is flat (about 6" wide) and I put the rope 1" from the wall. Now the "decorator" wants me to put it against the wall, which is papered. Just being cautious, I had maintained a space away from that papered wall. Do any of you have any actual experience with installing rope light on/against a papered wall? Is it OK? not OK? ill-advised?
Just what is the heat build-up on this stuff anyway? I have seen older stuff that has actually deteriorated because of heat issues, as I recall.
