Electrical Tape

AKA: LX tape, Leccy

Electrical Insulation Tape can usually be found in the pockets of most techies. Uses include taping cables to the rig, wrapping cables up, hiding bare bits of wire (No! Just No.), strapping gel frames together and attaching unsuspecting victims to unmovable objects.

LX is used on the cables to mark their length, we use a similar system to Blacklight except we don't include red or yellow, which are on all cables to indicate that they belong to Bedlam. Lengths are always rounded down and if there are two bands, then the lengths are added.

length	Bedlam Colour	Black Light Colour
0.5m	Orange	-
1m	Brown	Brown
2m	White	White
3m	Purple	Purple
5m	Blue	Blue
10m	Green	Yellow
20m	-	Green
50m	-	Red

LX tape is also used to identify the owner of tools; the table below shows some of the combinations
