LED neon: Types and applications

Neon Flex Specifications

When choosing one or another type of LED neon, you need to focus on technical characteristics. Flexible glowing tubes can vary in a variety of ways:

·       shape - round, rectangular with a diffuser, oval, flat;

·       diameter from 0.9 to 5 mm;

·       power supply - the most common are products for 12V, 24V and 220 volts;

·       waterproof IP44-IP68;

·       purpose - designer, professional, classic, multi-colored;

·       type of LEDs and their number per one running meter.

Today on sale you can find economy class products in which diodes are not of the best quality. With prolonged use, they overheat, which will affect both the life of the tube and the quality of the emitted light. For a more reliable result, buy LED neon from well-known manufacturers, as it uses reliable and modern bright diodes, high quality PVC and high quality silica gel.

The main technical characteristics that are indicated on the packaging or in the description of the product:

·       power consumption in watts per meter;

·       operating voltage;

·       temperature conditions;

·       number of LEDs per meter;

·       scattering angle;

·       degree of protection.

Based on this information, you can choose the right power supply for connection, and also calculate how much electricity the LED neon will consume. If we are talking about an ordinary apartment, then the level of energy consumption will not be higher than that of a simple 60-watt light bulb.

Now the third-generation cold neon flex on bright SMD diodes 2835 was in the greatest demand among buyers. 2835 is the designation of the linear dimensions of the diode: 3.5 by 2.8 mm. If brightness is critical to you, you can find products with larger SMD diodes: 5050, 5630, 5730 and 3838. As the power of the LEDs increases, their number decreases by one meter and the current consumption increases.

Where is LED neon used?

Neon flex can be used in the interior. It is suitable for rooms with high humidity: bath, kitchen, pools, saunas. For decorating a bedroom or living room, a more rational solution would be led-tape, which is cheaper. Neon is ideal for architectural lighting, it can be used to highlight the outlines of buildings, decorative elements. It looks good on vehicles and as a festive illumination. In principle, even clothes can be decorated with thin neon tubes.

Landscaping should be mentioned separately. Due to its moisture resistance, flexible neon is used to illuminate paths, tree trunks, artificial reservoirs, and gazebos. And of course, you can't ignore advertising:

·       signboards;

·       showcases;

·       store decor;

·       volumetric letters;

·       moving images.
