What Is
LED Neon Flex?
A revolutionary flexible linear lighting solution engineered for modern architecture. By encapsulating a high-density LED core within premium optical-grade silicone or PU, it delivers the continuous, dot-free brilliance of traditional glass neon—completely eliminating fragility and high-voltage hazards.
Built for extreme versatility and precision. Our silicone variants provide robust IP67 protection for demanding outdoor facades, while our advanced PU neon achieves IP68 ratings for permanent underwater deployment. Lighter, safer, and infinitely more durable.

How to produce?
LED Neon Flex
Engineered for absolute structural integrity and optical consistency. Explore our advanced 6-step extrusion and vulcanization process direct from our Vietnam facility.
Precision LED Preparation
The foundation of optical consistency begins here. We meticulously prepare and inspect bare LED strips (IP20) to ensure zero defect tolerance before the encapsulation phase.
Silicone Formulation
Advanced aerospace-grade mixing technology ensures custom silicone compounds deliver maximum UV resistance and perfect light diffusion.
Automated Payoff
Rolling LED strips are installed on the payoff frame, adjusted, and sequenced with pinpoint accuracy via our precision alignment tables.
Co-Extrusion & Encapsulation
LED strips and silicone converge through a pre-assembled die. Electronic controls dictate the exact wrapping pressure, creating a seamless, watertight structural seal.
Thermal Vulcanization
The extruded profile passes through a precision-controlled vulcanizing oven. Moderate temperatures ensure shaping without degrading LED beads, smoothly pulled by an automated tractor.
Rigorous QA & Assembly
Comprehensive semi-product testing, precise cutting, and secure cable connectivity ensure flawless performance.
How to Cut and Connect Neon Flex
Cut by Neon Strip Cutter
The traditional and most secure method. Cut at designated marks and solder wires directly to the PCB pads. Requires silicone sealant and endcaps to restore IP rating.
Connect by Soldering & Silicone End Cap
Designed for rapid field installation. Utilize our pin-based connectors to bridge cut sections without specialized tools or soldering equipment.
Vertical Bending Series
Engineered with environmental silicone material offering up to IP67 protection. Bends perpendicular to the illuminated surface, making it perfectly suited for wrapping around columns, creating sign lighting, and architectural contour lighting.
- • UV resistant, flame retardant, acid and alkali resistant
- • Top-emitting flat or domed profile options
- • Ideal for indoor and outdoor decorative lighting
Horizontal Bending Series
Features a unique optical structure that ensures uniform light with absolutely no shadows. Bends parallel to the illuminated surface, allowing for smooth, flat curves along walls and facades.
- • Side-emitting profile for seamless edge lighting
- • Suitable for building outline and decorative lighting
- • IP68 high protection level available for swimming pool underwater lighting
3D Bending Series
The ultimate in flexibility. This series possesses both vertical and horizontal bending capabilities within a single profile, allowing for free-form twisting and complex spatial designs.
- • Multi-axis flexible silicone material
- • Reliable IP67 protection for versatile placement
- • Suitable for landscape lighting, curtain walls, and complex shaped projects
360° Round Series
A tubular design delivering true 360° light emission with no dark areas. Mimics the classic look of round glass neon tubes but with the immense benefits of modern LED and silicone technology.
- • Omnidirectional illumination
- • Suitable for straight, circular, curved, and special suspended shapes
- • Ideal for artistic installations and premium commercial space design
