Answers to common neon flex questions — materials, IP, bending, cutting, lifespan, and OEM sourcing from a manufacturer perspective.
Neon Flex FAQ
**Quick Answer:** LED neon flex replaces glass neon with a flexible, low-voltage luminous tube. Key buyer questions cover housing material (silicone vs PVC), IP rating, bend direction, run length per driver, and sealed terminations for outdoor programs.
Q: What is neon flex?
A flexible LED product with strip inside silicone or PVC housing creating a continuous glow line for architecture and signage.

Specification Notes
Document CCT, IP rating, dimming protocol, driver access, and as-built requirements in the RFQ before sample approval.
