As for failure mode, I cannot tell you.
The six-foot lengths of rope that I have are run off of two AA
batteries. As the battery voltage drops, the lighting intensity
gradually diminishes.
The entire surface is conductive, so I am guessing that you would have
to physically break the strip or rope to stop the current flow. If it
is mounted, I don't see that happening.
As far as mounting, the rope can be looped around the face of an
instrument and extended to the next instrument, repeating the process
for as many instruments as needed.

I do not know if/that aircraft instrument lighting must be "certified",
"approved" or TSO'ed. I am aware of one individual who is selling an EL
under panel strip for aircracft for $250. You can buy your own for less
than that from the above sources.
