Total Guide to LED Neon Lights

 

LED Neon Lights look like glass neon lights, but they are flexible and use less energy. These lights are using a LED tape inside with different LEDs. The color temperature (warm or cold white) or color, the brightness, and hue of the neon light are calculated by what type, size, and strength of LED tapes are used. LED Neon Lights are now more prominent every day because they are easy to use and can be used in many different ways.

You can buy many different types of LED Neon Lights. They offer slim and traditional shapes, top or side or 360° emitting light. Round, rectangular, square, oval, quarter circle, “mushroom” types, all are availble. LED Neon Rope lights are fully molded and used for outdoor, wet and damp locations.

LED Neon Tube lights are using LED tapes inserted in a tubing without being molded. They are perfect for indoor and dry locations and budgetary. It’s also possible to buy LED Neon Lights that have already been cut into fun shapes and designs like letters of the alphabet and numbers or, more important, logos.

Besides, you can get them in tunable white, RGB colors and RGBW (RGB colors + white), which can be controlled with many different lighting control systems. They can come in bright neon colors and use the most up-to-date lighting technology, so you can have much more choices and controls, compared with conventional neon lights.LED Neon Lights can be much brighter compared with conventional neon lights. The good thing is, they are dimmable too.

 

Traditional Neon Lights vs LED Neon Lights
LED Neon Lights are using LED tapes inside. They are bright yet energy efficient. In terms of CRI (color rendering index, comparison to natural sun light), the LED Neon Lights perform very well.
They don’t need neon transformers but LED drivers. There are so many LED drivers available for all kind of voltages and all control systems, that they are easy to integrate into any existing environment.

Nowadays LED Neon Lights show a completely linear lighting effect with no visible LED “dots or spots”. They come as reels, some with a max. length of 65’ (20 meters).
