Installation Considerations

Power Supply Selection

Select an appropriate 48V DC power supply based on the total length and power consumption of your installation. For maximum reliability, we recommend using branded power supplies with at least 20% capacity overhead.

Mounting Options

Choose from various mounting channels and clips designed specifically for professional neon flex installation. The right mounting system ensures secure attachment and optimal light presentation while protecting the product from physical damage.

Connection & Wiring

Use appropriately rated cables for power connections, ensuring adequate gauge for the current requirements. For outdoor installations, weatherproof connections and junction boxes are essential for long-term reliability.

Cutting & Connecting

When creating custom lengths, always cut at designated cutting points and seal the ends properly using appropriate end caps and silicone sealant for outdoor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Compare power consumption per meter for 48V neon flex vs 24V

48V neon flex typically uses a similar wattage per metre to 24V versions, but draws less current, improving efficiency over long runs. This allows longer continuous lengths with reduced power loss.

Maximum continuous run length and power injection for 48V neon flex

Many 48V neon flex products support continuous runs of 30–50 metres from a single feed. Power injection is usually only required for very high-output products or complex layouts.

Recommended 48V DC power supply sizes for different run lengths

Power supply size is calculated by multiplying watts per metre by total length, then adding a 20–30% safety margin. Larger runs often benefit from multiple distributed supplies rather than one oversized unit.

How to calculate voltage drop for a 48V neon flex installation

Voltage drop is calculated using cable length, conductor size, and current draw, but is significantly lower at 48V than at 12V or 24V. This makes 48V well suited to long-distance architectural lighting.

Best IP rating for outdoor 48V neon flex applications

IP67 is ideal for most outdoor installations, providing protection against heavy rain and temporary immersion. IP68 is recommended for areas exposed to standing water or permanent moisture.

What is 48V Single Colour Neon Flex, and how does it differ from 12V, 24V, and 230V single-colour flex in run length and installation complexity?

48V Single Colour Neon Flex is an extra-low-voltage DC system that allows much longer runs than 12V or 24V while remaining safer and simpler to install than 230V mains-powered flex.

In which situations is 48V Single Colour Flex the best choice for UK projects compared with 24V and high-voltage 230V flex?

48V is ideal for long façades, building outlines, and perimeter lighting where uniform brightness is required without the regulatory complexity of mains-voltage installations.

How does 48V help minimise voltage drop and maintain uniform brightness over runs up to 30–50 m?

Higher voltage reduces current flow, which significantly lowers voltage drop across cables. This helps maintain even brightness across long continuous runs.

What is the maximum recommended run length for 48V Single Colour Flex from a single feed, and when is centre-feeding or dual-feeding required?

Most systems support 30–50 metres per feed, depending on wattage and product design. Centre-feeding or dual-feeding is used for very high-output or visually critical installations.

How should 48V Single Colour Flex be wired to drivers and protection devices to comply with UK regulations?

48V neon flex should be powered by a certified constant-voltage driver, with mains-side protection using RCDs and circuit breakers, while keeping the output side within extra-low-voltage limits.

Which cable sizes and junction methods are suitable for long 48V neon flex runs on façades and perimeter lighting?

Cable sizes of 1.0–1.5 mm² are commonly used, with IP-rated junction boxes or sealed connectors to protect against moisture and mechanical stress.

How can 48V Single Colour Flex be used for extra-long building outlines, bridges, and retail park perimeters?

Its long run capability and consistent brightness make it ideal for outlining large structures without visible dimming or frequent power feeds.

What profile sizes and bend directions work best for long straight architectural lines versus gentle curves at 48V?

Larger profiles such as 10×20 mm suit straight architectural lines, while square or slimmer profiles like 16×16 mm allow smoother gentle curves with controlled diffusion.

Is 48V Single Colour Flex suitable for large garden paths, driveways, and waterfronts?

Yes, when specified with IP67 or IP68 ratings, 48V neon flex is well suited to large outdoor landscapes requiring long, continuous lighting runs.

How does the lifetime and thermal performance of 48V Single Colour Flex compare with 24V flex?

48V systems often run cooler due to lower current, which can improve LED lifespan and long-term lumen maintenance when properly installed.

What common issues can occur with 48V neon flex and how can they be avoided?

Issues such as dim ends or driver mismatches usually result from incorrect power calculations or unsuitable cabling, and are avoided through proper design and specification.

How do different IP ratings impact the long-term reliability of 48V Single Colour Flex in exposed UK environments?

Higher IP ratings provide better resistance to moisture ingress, corrosion, and pollution, which significantly improves long-term reliability outdoors.

What should specifiers check when selecting 48V Single Colour Flex?

Key factors include maximum run length, lumen output per metre, cut length, bend radius, IP rating, driver compatibility, and warranty coverage.

What makes 48V neon flex different from 12V or 24V options?

48V neon flex enables much longer runs with fewer power feeds while maintaining extra-low-voltage safety, making it ideal for large-scale installations.

Can I cut 48V neon flex to custom lengths?

Yes, 48V neon flex can be cut at clearly marked cut points, which are usually spaced further apart than on 12V or 24V products.

Is 48V neon flex safe to install?

Yes, it operates within extra-low-voltage DC limits, making it safer than mains-voltage lighting when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.

What's the difference between IP67 and IP68 rated 48V neon flex?

IP67 allows temporary immersion, while IP68 is designed for continuous submersion under defined conditions, making it suitable for harsher environments.

How do I calculate the power supply requirements for my installation?

Add up the total wattage of the neon flex and select a power supply rated at least 20–30% above that figure for reliability.

What's covered under the 3-year outdoor warranty?

Typically, the warranty covers manufacturing defects, LED failure, and premature loss of brightness under normal operating conditions.

Can 48V neon flex be dimmed?

Yes, it can be dimmed using compatible constant-voltage drivers and control systems such as PWM, 0–10V, or DALI.

Is the 30-meter maximum run length affected by bends and curves?

Gentle bends have minimal impact, but tight curves, higher ambient temperatures, and enclosed mounting can slightly reduce maximum achievable run length.
