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
