Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between IP65, IP67, and IP68 rated Single Colour Neon Flex?

IP65 is protected against dust and water jets, IP67 can withstand temporary immersion, and IP68 is suitable for continuous submersion under specified conditions. Higher IP ratings offer greater protection for harsher outdoor or wet environments.

Can Single Colour Neon Flex be cut to custom lengths?

Yes, Single Colour Neon Flex can be cut at marked cut points, which vary by voltage and product type. Cutting must follow manufacturer guidelines to avoid damage or voiding the warranty.

What voltage option should I choose for my project?

12V is best for short, detailed runs, while 24V is ideal for longer, more consistent installations with less voltage drop. Higher voltages allow longer runs with fewer power injection points.

How do I install Single Colour Neon Flex around corners or curved surfaces?

Neon Flex can be gently bent horizontally (and sometimes vertically, depending on design) and fixed using mounting clips, channels, or adhesive. Tight bends should stay within the specified minimum bend radius.

Is Single Colour Neon Flex energy efficient?

Yes, it uses LED technology, which consumes significantly less power than traditional neon while delivering high brightness and consistent illumination. This results in lower running costs and reduced heat output.

How long will Single Colour Neon Flex last?

High-quality Single Colour Neon Flex typically has a lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours, depending on usage and environmental conditions. Proper installation and ventilation help maximise longevity.

Can I use Single Colour Neon Flex underwater?

Only IP68-rated Single Colour Neon Flex is suitable for underwater use. Even then, installation must follow strict guidelines regarding sealing, depth limits, and power supply protection.

Do I need special controllers for Single Colour Neon Flex?

No special controllers are required for standard on/off operation, but dimming requires a compatible LED dimmer matched to the voltage and power load. Controllers are simpler compared to RGB or addressable systems.

What is Single Colour Neon Flex, and how does it differ from RGB and Addressable RGB Neon Flex in function and cost?

Single Colour Neon Flex produces a continuous line of light in one fixed colour and does not require controllers, making it simpler and more cost-effective than RGB or addressable RGB neon flex, which offer colour-changing effects at higher cost and complexity.

Which colour temperatures of white Single Colour Neon Flex (2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 6000K) suit different rooms and outdoor areas?

2700K–3000K suits residential, hospitality, and signage applications, while 4000K works well for commercial interiors and 6000K is better for outdoor, security, and industrial environments.

How does Single Colour Neon Flex compare to traditional glass neon in brightness, power consumption, and lifespan?

Single Colour Neon Flex is more energy-efficient, typically brighter per watt, safer to install, and offers a longer lifespan than traditional glass neon with significantly lower maintenance.

What voltages (12V, 24V, 48V, 220V/240V) are available for Single Colour Neon Flex, and when should each be used?

12V and 24V are ideal for short, precise installations, 48V is preferred for longer continuous runs with reduced voltage drop, and 220–240V is used where very long runs are required without frequent power feeds.

How do you cut, terminate, and mount Single Colour Neon Flex while maintaining its IP rating for outdoor use?

Neon flex must be cut only at designated cut points, sealed with approved end caps or silicone, and mounted using compatible clips or channels to preserve its outdoor IP rating.

Which dimmers and power supplies are compatible with Single Colour Neon Flex for smooth, flicker-free dimming?

Constant-voltage LED power supplies paired with compatible PWM, trailing-edge, or 0–10V dimmers are commonly used to achieve smooth, flicker-free dimming.

How can Single Colour Neon Flex be used for clean architectural lines on façades, coves, and stair edges in commercial buildings?

It is used to create continuous, uniform light lines that highlight architectural features while maintaining a minimal and modern aesthetic.

What are the best ways to use single-colour neon flex for signage and logos compared with multi-colour RGB signs?

Single-colour neon flex is ideal for logos and signage where clarity, brand consistency, and cost efficiency are more important than colour-changing effects.

How can Single Colour Neon Flex improve safety and wayfinding in car parks, warehouses, and emergency escape routes?

It enhances visibility by outlining edges, pathways, and hazards, helping guide movement while using less energy than traditional lighting.

How do UV exposure, temperature, and pollution affect Single Colour Neon Flex installed outdoors over many years?

High-quality silicone neon flex is designed to resist UV exposure and temperature extremes, though prolonged pollution exposure may gradually reduce brightness over time.

What cleaning and inspection routines are recommended to keep Single Colour Neon Flex looking bright and uniform?

Periodic cleaning with mild detergent and routine inspection of seals, fixings, and connections help maintain performance and appearance.

How does lumen output per metre and efficacy of Single Colour Neon Flex compare with LED strip in aluminium profiles?

Neon flex provides more uniform and glare-free illumination, while LED strips in aluminium profiles may deliver slightly higher raw lumen output.

What should buyers check when choosing Single Colour Neon Flex (IP rating, lumen/m, CRI, cut length, bend direction)?

Buyers should confirm the IP rating, brightness per metre, colour quality (CRI), cut intervals, voltage, and whether the product is top-bend or side-bend.

How do UK suppliers such as UK LED Lights and Glow LEDs position Single Colour Neon Flex for trade installers versus DIY customers?

UK suppliers typically offer trade-focused products with higher specifications and custom options, alongside simplified kits aimed at DIY users.

When is Single Colour Neon Flex a better choice than RGB or Addressable RGB Flex for a given project brief?

It is the better choice when the project prioritises clean design, reliability, lower cost, and does not require colour-changing or animated effects.
