1.Introuduction
Traditional glass neon has been the mainstay of commercial lighting for decades,
providing a rich, vibrant source of light for commercial buildings and signs. Despite
its attractive features it has numerous drawbacks, including the large amount of
energy it requires, the extremely high voltage power supplies, and being hand
drawn glass it is extremely fragile. Neon-Flex overcomes all of these drawbacks by
combining the energy efciency of high output SMD LEDs encased in a UV and
chemical resistant PVC that acts to diffuse the light
mimicking the effect of neon.
Unlike neon, however, Neon- Flex can be shaped and bent by anyone without the
need for special tools or skills, the low voltage 24V DC alternative can be cut every
50 - 130mm (depending on model) and can operate of a plug in power supply.Unlike
traditional neon - It is not just available in mono colors, with RGB Neon-Flex cable
of producing up to 16 million color variations, the new Dynamic DMX version
expands further on this and allows for exciting color chasing effects.
LED Neon-Flex can be divided with different bending direction between horizontal
& vertical, also the shape and emitting beam angle are not the same.

General Mounting
LED neon ex can be fastened to surfaces using appropriate accessories available from
distributor. Please refer to data sheets or contact technical support for a copy. The use
of glues and resins as xing agents should be avoided. Use of glues and resins may
invalidate the warranty of the product, unless it’s use is agreed in writing by distributor
as part of a detailed project specication.
The images indicate one type of xing available in the accessories range. The different
xings serve obvious purposes, however when in doubt technical support should be
contacted.
Quantities of accessories and xings are dependent on the type and its effect on the
variant ex it’s being used with. Care should be taken to ensure drooping is avoided,
and to ensure that neon ex is fastened adequately to avoid stresses on product itself.
The aluminum mounting piece of IP67 front connector and end cap should keep
at least10mm space apart from aluminum channel when making installation.

or plugs.
Bare end cables come with a standard length which can vary pending the
manufacturing process, therefore it is recommended to ensure the feeder cable is
long enough to reach the cable entry point of , where connections can be made.ex
Plugs are designed for “plug-and-play” type installations, whereas the installer would
ensure female sockets are available at each start location, with the male typeex
connector then plugging into this female type socket. Female sockets are
available as separate items.
Note that custom feed cable lengths are available upon special request.
L is a high-powered product, which requires a detailed electrical design toED neon ex
