LED neon flex is the most common lighting component in modern signage and lighting solutions. In this article, I explain its capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses and how it can be used.
- Can be molded to suit almost any shape or design.
- Can be cut and joined to allow for complex, intricate uses.
- Available in fixed color and color-changing options.
- Fully dimmable and capable of being programmed for complex lighting effects.
Below is an overview of LED neon flex and light strips.
What is LED Neon Flex?
LED neon flex is a flexible strip of LED lights mounted inside a PVC, silicone, or PU casing to diffuse the light and create a uniform effect.
The LED lights inside the trip are small, and the casing is flexible, which means the tubing can be molded to most shapes or designs. To provide more rigidity, it is often mounted to a more rigid acrylic backing.
These LED neon strip lights are available in fixed-color and changeable-color strips, called RGB and Dynamic Neon. Once coupled with an appropriate light controller, the brightness can be controlled.
LED neon flex can be weatherproofed for outdoor use.
There are 24 colors of LED light strips - and additional multi-color and color-changing strips
