Our product is a flexible LED neon strip that mimics the appearance of real neon light — but is built with modern LED and silicone (or PVC) technology. The key features include:

• Neon-like Glow: It produces a smooth, continuous, and diffused glow — just like traditional neon — without the “dots” or uneven spots typical of standard LED strips. 

• Low Voltage (12 V or 24 V): Operates on safe low-voltage DC power, which makes it suitable for DIY installations, indoor use, and even damp environments (given the right IP rating).

• Flexible and Cuttable: The strip is designed to bend around curves and corners, allowing you to shape it into letters, logos, signs, or any custom graphics. It also supports cutting to length at predefined cutting marks.

• Durable & Weather-Resistant: Encased in a silicone (or PVC) casing, the strip is impact-resistant, moisture-resistant, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor scenarios (depending on its IP rating).

• Simple Installation: Typically, installation involves adhesive backing or clips, and connecting to a compatible 12 V/24 V power supply. No complex transformers or high-voltage equipment required.

In short: it’s LED neon reimagined — combining the beauty of neon with the benefits of modern lighting technology.

Key Technical Specifications & What They Mean

According to the product page: 

* Actual lumen output may vary depending on LED type, ambient conditions, and installation.

These specifications mean the strip offers a reliable balance of brightness, safety, and energy efficiency — making it versatile enough for decorative accent lighting, signage, or more functional illumination.

Why Choose LED Neon Strip Instead of Traditional Neon or Standard LED Strips

Switching from traditional glass neon or conventional LED strips to a flexible LED-neon strip offers many advantages. Here’s how our product stacks up:

✅ Safer & Easier to Install

Traditional neon lights rely on glass tubes filled with inert gas, excited by very high voltage (often thousands of volts) — leading to risks of breakage, gas leakage, and electric shock. 

In contrast:

• Our LED neon operates on low-voltage DC (12 V/24 V) — much safer for DIYers, households, offices, or wet/damp spaces.

• Silicone (or PVC) casing is impact-resistant and not fragile like glass. 

• Installation is far simpler — no need for bulky transformers or specialized electrician skills. Many installations just require adhesive, clips, and a compatible low-voltage power supply. 

✅ Flexible Design & Customization

Because the strip is flexible and cuttable, you have huge creative freedom:

• Bend into curves, circles, letters, logos, or custom shapes. Great for signage, brand names, art installations. 

• Cut to the exact length you need — reduces waste and makes installation neat. 

• Compatible with different LED density and brightness levels depending on the design.

This design flexibility makes RGB/neon LED strips especially popular for architectural outlines, decorative lighting, commercial signage, home décor accents, and more. 

✅ Smooth & Consistent Lighting — Real Neon Feel

One of the major drawbacks of standard LED strip lights is that individual LEDs are often visible as bright “dots,” creating uneven lighting. In contrast, LED-neon strips use a diffusion channel in the silicone/PVC casing to scatter and blend light, producing a solid, continuous glow. 

Compared with traditional glass neon, LED neon also avoids issues like tube breakage, gas leaks, or uneven gas-tube brightness. 

✅ Energy Efficiency, Long Lifespan & Low Maintenance

LED neon strips consume significantly less power than traditional neon or older light technologies. Many LED neon strips save 70% or more in energy costs compared with old neon systems. 

Lifespan is another major advantage: good-quality LED strips can last 50,000 hours or more, meaning much less frequent replacement and reduced maintenance costs. 

Additionally, LED is a “cold light source” — it emits little heat, reducing fire risk and minimizing heat-related wear to surrounding materials. 

✅ Durability and Weather Resistance — Indoor & Outdoor Use

Because the strip is encased in silicone or PVC and often rated with a high IP (Ingress Protection) level, it can resist dust, moisture, and (with appropriate rating) even temporary exposure to water. 

That means you can confidently use it outdoors — on building façades, pathways, patios, signage, or even near pools — as long as you choose the right IP-rated model. 

Typical Scenarios and Applications

Because of its flexibility, durability, and aesthetic glow, the 12 V/24 V 3-LED Cutting Neon Strip is ideal for a wide variety of applications. Here are some scenarios where it shines:

• Home Decoration & Accent Lighting: Use it for lived-in spaces — behind TVs, under cabinets, along staircases, coves, shelves. Its soft, even glow adds ambience and a modern touch.

• Signage & Branding: Perfect for shops, restaurants, bars, storefronts — outline logos, brand names, signs, or decor elements. Bending and cutting make custom shapes easy.

• Architectural & Outline Lighting: Highlight building outlines, windows, eaves, or architectural details with subtle or bold illumination.

• Outdoor & Landscape Lighting: With proper weatherproofing, you can use it for garden paths, patios, terraces — even poolside or along walkways.

• Event & Decorative Installations: Temporary setups like holiday decoration, parties, exhibitions, creative art installations — quick to install and highly customizable.

• Commercial & Hospitality Lighting: Bars, clubs, hotels, restaurants — build atmosphere, guide customers, highlight architectural features elegantly and safely.

How to Install & Use — Tips for Best Results

Installing a flexible LED neon strip is generally easier than traditional neon, but to make sure you get the best result, here are some tips:

1. Plan Your Layout Before Cutting

   • Measure carefully how much strip you need.

   • Identify cut-points (pre-marked on the strip) — only cut at those points to avoid damaging the circuit. 

   • Leave a little extra length near corners or bends if needed.

2. Use a Compatible Low-Voltage Power Supply

   • Ensure the DC adapter matches the strip’s voltage (12 V or 24 V) and provides enough current for the total length of your strip.

   • If you plan long runs, consider 24 V to reduce voltage drop and maintain uniform brightness. 

3. Secure & Finish Properly

   • Use adhesive backing, mounting clips, or aluminum channels, depending on the surface (wood, plastic, metal, wall, etc.). 

   • For outdoor or damp environments: make sure the strip’s IP rating is sufficient (e.g., IP65, IP67, or IP68 depending on exposure) and protect connections with end-caps or silicone sealant. 

   • Test Before Final Installation

4. • After cutting and connecting wires, power on briefly to check for uniform brightness and correct polarity.

   • Avoid powering on for long before final mounting — to prevent accidental stress or damage.

5. Maintenance & Care

   • LED neon strips generally require minimal maintenance — with a long lifespan (often 50,000+ hours) and durable casing. 

   • Keep connections sealed (especially outdoors) to avoid water ingress or corrosion.

Why the 3-LED Cutting Version Matters — What “3-LED Cutting” Means

You may wonder: what does “3-LED cutting” mean, and why is it worth highlighting?

• It means that the strip can be cut every time after 3 LEDs (or each cut-unit includes 3 LEDs). This ensures the internal LED circuit remains correct after cutting. 

• That level of granularity allows for very precise length customization, making waste minimal and installation neat — especially useful for signage, letters, or custom-shaped lighting.

• Because the spacing and density are controlled, the light output stays consistent along the strip; you won’t get dim or overly bright patches after cutting, provided you cut at the marked points. This helps maintain that smooth, uniform neon glow that’s so desirable.
