360 degree LED Flexible Neon Strip is a new way to add some character and style to your lighting project. It’s a flexible round LED neon that glows in all directions, creating a stunning effect similar to traditional neon tubes. In this article, we’ll introduce you to the features and benefits of 360 degree neon tape and how it’s installed and show you some examples of how it can be used in a variety of applications.
What is Traditional Neon?
Modern flexible LED neon lights were developed to replace traditional neon lights. So what is a traditional neon?
Traditional neon is a brightly illuminated, energized glass tube or bulb filled with rare neon gas or other rare gases, a cold cathode gas discharge lamp. Neon tubes are sealed glass tubes with electrodes at each end that are filled with a low-pressure gas. Adding several thousand volts to the electrodes ionizes the gas inside the tube, causing it to glow, and the color of the light depends on the gas inside the tube. Neon is the phonetic translation of neon, a rare gas that emits a popular orange-red light. However, other colors can be produced using other gases, such as hydrogen, which produces a red light; helium, which produces a pink light; carbon dioxide, which produces a white light; and mercury vapor, which produces a blue light.
The modern flexible LED neon is a flexible linear uniform light that uses a high-brightness SMD LED strip as the internal light source and is wrapped in silicone, PVC, or PU (polyurethane) to diffuse the light.
What is a 360 Round LED Neon Flex?
360 round LED Neon Flex is a variation of the popular LED rope light that features a circular cross-section and silicone sleeve to disperse light evenly. Unlike traditional LED ribbons that emit light from only one side, 360 degree neon flex emit light in all directions, producing a smooth, even glow that mimics neon tubing.
360 Degree Neon LED Strip comes in different colors, such as white, warm white, blue, green, red, yellow, and purple, as well as RGB colors that can be intelligently controlled. You can also choose different types of LED chips, such as SMD2835 or SMD5050, depending on the desired brightness and color rendering. The strip operates on low voltage (usually 12V or 24V), which means it is safe and energy efficient. You can also cut this round neon strip to the desired length and connect multiple strips together using connectors or soldering.
The 360 degree glow neon strip is ideal for decorations that require accent lighting. You can direct the light exactly where you want it by bending the LED round neon tube. You’ll continue to enjoy the same view for years to come because there’s no filament to block your light, create a dotted look, or break. 360 Degree Flexible Neon can be twisted, curved, and molded into any shape to create eye-catching lighting effects in hotels, restaurants, commercial centers, home improvements, and more. It enhances brand awareness, flexibility, and personalization, as well as new experiential value.
Pros and Cons of 360 Degree Round Flex Neon LED Strip Lights
As with any other LED lighting product, there are some pros and cons to using a 360 degree flexible neon LED strip. Below are some of them:
Pros:
Easy to Install: You don’t need any special tools or skills to install the 360 degree neon LED strip; you just need to cut it to the desired length and hang it up. Please note that when purchasing mounting materials, you will find it useful to purchase end caps to complete the look. Of course, you can also use clips or hooks to secure your 360 Neon Tube.
Flexibility: You can bend and twist 360 degree round neon tape in any direction and shape. You can also join multiple neon strips together to extend the length or create intricate designs. You can use 360 degree neon for indoor or outdoor applications because it is waterproof and weather-resistant.
Energy Efficient and Eco-friendly: The LEDs used in the 360 LED neon strip use less power and last longer than traditional neon lights, and the LEDs don’t emit any harmful gases or chemicals that could harm the environment or your health.
Driver/Controller: This neon strip typically works with any matched driver (i.e., voltage and current) and most dimming topologies (i.e., PWM, DMX, DALI, etc.).
Cons:
Expensive: 360 Flex LED Neon Strips are more expensive than regular LED strips or other types of lighting strips. The price depends on the quality, length, color, and features of the neon casing and strip. You may also need to purchase other accessories such as power adapters, controllers, connectors, or extenders.
High Heat Sensitivity: 360 degree neon tube LED lights generate heat when used for long periods of time or at high temperatures. This can affect the performance and lifespan of the light strip. You should avoid placing the strip near heat sources or in direct sunlight. You should also leave some space between the light strip and the surface for ventilation.
Difficult to Repair: If a part of the 360 round LED flex neon light breaks or malfunctions, you may have to replace the whole 360 neon strip or cut off the damaged part. This may waste some materials and affect the appearance and functionality of the strip. When installing or using a neon strip, you should handle the strip with care and follow the instructions carefully.
