What kind of adaptability do neon flex LED strips have in the face of various outdoor conditions?
Publish Time: 2025-04-10
In the field of outdoor lighting and decoration, neon flex LED strips are gradually becoming a popular choice for designers and contractors with their unique advantages. It not only has the gorgeous effects of traditional neon lights, but also has been fully upgraded in terms of safety, durability and flexibility, and can easily cope with various complex outdoor conditions.
Excellent waterproof performance
The outdoor environment is complex and changeable, and water sources such as rain and snow are common challenges. neon flex LED strips perform well in waterproof design, and many products use IP67 or IP68 waterproof ratings. Take the soft light series of positive curved neon light strips of Rishang Optoelectronics as an example. It uses highly light-transmitting environmentally friendly silicone materials and uses a two-color silicone one-piece extrusion molding process to achieve a perfect combination of high light transmittance and high protection and waterproof performance. In outdoor lighting environments and facilities, this light strip can effectively resist the erosion of rain, and can still maintain normal operation even when exposed to rain or snow for a long time, ensuring the durability of outdoor lighting and decorative effects.
Excellent weather resistance
The temperature range in the outdoor environment is large, from hot summer to severe cold, and the light strip needs to withstand huge temperature differences. Some high-quality neon flex LED strips have good weather resistance and can work stably in the temperature range of -40℃ to 70℃. For example, some products use special shell materials and structural designs, which can effectively resist thermal expansion and contraction at high temperatures and brittle deformation at low temperatures, ensuring that the light strip can maintain stable performance in different seasons and climatic conditions. At the same time, its resistance to salt acid and alkali corrosion enables it to be used for a long time in salt spray environments such as the seaside or industrial pollution areas, and is not prone to aging, damage and other problems.
Strong UV resistance
Long-term exposure to sunlight will cause damage to the materials and performance of the light strip. neon flex LED strips use UV-resistant materials and special processes to effectively resist UV radiation. Silicone light strips are particularly outstanding in this regard. Their UV resistance makes it difficult for the light strip to fade or turn yellow after long-term outdoor use, maintaining the beautiful appearance of the light strip and the purity of the light color.
Excellent flexibility and plasticity
Outdoor spaces often have irregular shapes and complex structures, which requires the light strips to have good flexibility and plasticity. neon flex LED strips can be bent to a minimum diameter of 8CM, and can be cut at any scissor mouth, which is convenient for making various texts and graphics. It can be easily bent, twisted and installed on surfaces of various curves, angles and shapes, such as building outlines, signboards, interior decoration, etc. For example, in outdoor building lighting projects, light strips can be bent and installed along the outline of the building's exterior wall to outline a unique architectural shape; in the outline of scenic landmarks, it can be flexibly designed according to the shape of the landmark to create a colorful night scene effect.
High safety
Outdoor electrical safety is crucial. neon flex LED strips use low-voltage DC power supply, usually 12V or 24V, with lower voltage and current, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock and fire. Compared with traditional neon lights, its safety performance has been significantly improved. At the same time, the light strips also have shockproof and heat-resistant functions, and can operate stably under harsh outdoor environmental conditions, providing reliable safety guarantees for outdoor lighting and decoration.
Neon flex LED strips have demonstrated strong outdoor adaptability with its excellent waterproof performance, weather resistance, UV resistance, flexibility and plasticity, and high safety.
