If you want your shopfront or retail space to stand out, or need some lighting for your new home, slim LED Neon Flex could be the ideal solution for you. This bendable tube lighting is an amazing alternative to traditional glass neon tubing.
Providing durability, easy installation and excellent flexibility, slim LED Neon Flex guarantees a creative finish to any lighting project. Its reduced thickness allows for greater adaptability than other kinds of strip or rope light, while maintaining uniform light output and low energy consumption.

Uses
Slim LED Neon Flex is excellent for a variety of applications, but is most effective for creating striking signage with lettering and shapes. It is particularly suited to:
- Accent lighting
- Back/task lighting
- Window displays, display cases and shelving
- Cove lighting
- Under cabinet lighting
If none of these uses seems to fit your needs, a Neon Flex light is the ideal choice for a custom neon sign or decoration as well. It can also be used for outdoor applications such as shopfronts and gardens, but requires certain specifications for these uses (more on this below). Being slender, flexible and adaptable, it can be altered to suit your exact requirements, no matter what they are.
Specifications
If this is your first time considering slim LED Neon Flex, it might seem confusing. But making your final choice is easier when you know the lighting specifications for your project and the product you have in mind.
The first important factor is the Ingress Protection (IP) rating. This measures the effectiveness of electrical enclosures, such as the PVC or silicone tubing of LED lighting. It tells you how protected the product will be from foreign intrusions, such as dirt or moisture, and how resistant it will be against damage.
If you need Neon Flex which is water-resistant or waterproof, you need to consider the IP65, IP66 and IP67 ratings. As long as your LED light has one of these IP ratings and makes use of appropriate IP-rated fixings, your fixture can be used in your garden, on your shopfront or in any other outdoor setting.
You will also need to understand the working and storage temperature of the lights. It's important to be sure of the lifespan you expect from your lighting fixture, and that the lights you choose can stand up to the conditions they will be subjected to.
