This stuff has a very limited market.

It's not cheap.

And it's not a product ever to be favored by electricians.

It's designed for non-professionals.

What could go wrong?

Looking through the FAQ section on their web site it appears that they are looking for UL listing for a 120v version.

Hydro,

If they get that listing, I would think that they would need a "grounding layer" on top of the 120 V like they do for the under carpet style. You would need something to trip a breaker if they were to stick a nail or thumbtack into the wire.
As for seeing the "tape/wire", I would think that in the right light you would still see a tiny bump on the wall where the tape runs. I mean can't you see the sheet rock tape in the corner, if the drywall mud isn't applied thick enough.

John,

Not if it falls under "Rehab"! Ha Ha!
Either that or the circuit will trip by itself.
