Need suggestions for lighting a 28' tunnel/maze. Framework made from PVC pipe, sides will be either white or black sheets. Do rope lights work well? Don't want a lot of light, maybe something that flashes or even strobes. Just enough to see and disorient victims Oops! I mean visitors. Of course, price is a factor.

Saw 18' rope lighting at Christmas tree shop the other day, didn't seem too expensive either! I believe they had both orange and purple, I'd go with the purple if you went with this route.

We had a 12-14 FT tunnel last year, the tube was constructed out of black Coroplast. We used a strobe light in it; it was very creepy and disorienting.

Or something similar -> would allow you to choose any color you want (and to adjust the intensity), low power consumption, doesn't get hot & is water 'proof' (resistant). I use the UV in my vortex tunnel inline with the hand rails, works *very* well.

Could you folks post video of your homemade tunnels?

Don't have the video externally hosted, but here are images of the build

Unfortunately we didn't really take any photos of the tunnel build, it was intended to be a spinning vortex tunnel. We finally got it working Halloween Day, but didn't have time to paint it so we turned it into strobe tunnel. The link to our video is in my signature below, you can see it at about 3:45.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think we're going to try strobe lighting.

This is our tunnel from last year. We used rope lights. Worked great.

This is an LED Light Strip it is 16.5 feet long. You can add a strip for half the cost as you do not have to buy another power supply. You can add a sound activated controller for about 6 dollars. All color brightness and adjustment to strobe affect is adjustable. Works Great and water proof.

This is wicked and seems so simple
