What is the difference between 12, 110, and 120 Volts?
110 Volt and 120 Volt are essentially the same and can be plugged into a household outlet. Its maximum run is 150 or 240 feet depending on the wattage. On the other hand 12 Volt utilizes low voltage bulbs and is suitable to use around water with a 12 volt battery, alternator or transformer. While 12 volt lights are lower voltage they do draw higher amperage, so there is no cost savings in running 12 volt rope lights. Its maximum run is 30 feet. Both are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. You cannot splice 110/120 volt and 12 volt together.
