Every light is cut precisely to your specification and prepared for your project. House of LEDs is a bespoke LED lighting company — made-to-measure for homes, commercial spaces, and architect-specified builds.
LED neon flex is a silicone-sleeved strip light that produces a continuous, dot-free light line along its full length. No visible diodes. No hotspots. It bends around curves and corners without cracking, runs indoors and outdoors, and covers lengths from 1 metre to 50 metres depending on voltage.
Choose Your Voltage — Runs from 5m to 50m
| Voltage | Max Single Run | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 12V | 5 metres | Sign lettering, cabinet edges, small feature lights |
| 24V | 20 metres | Room coves, stairwells, under-cabinet runs |
| 48V | 50 metres | Commercial shopfronts, perimeter outlines, hospitality |
| 220–240V AC | 50 metres | Mains-direct installs, large architectural runs |
Run length is the deciding factor. At 12V, voltage drop limits a safe run to 5 metres — push past that and the far end dims. 24V doubles the safe distance. Both 48V and 220–240V mains reach 50 metres in a single run, removing the need for mid-run power injection on large commercial jobs.
Indoor and Outdoor — IP20 to IP68
Our neon flex covers every environment:
- IP20 — dry indoor spaces: coves, joinery reveals, furniture lighting
- IP65 — limited outdoor use where sheltered from direct exposure to weather: concealed channels, covered soffits, and profiles hidden from direct rain
- IP67 — temporary water exposure: garden structures, pergolas, decking, exterior building outlines
- IP68 — continuous water contact: water features, ground-level installs, and permanent outdoor applications
The IP rating and voltage are what change between a domestic living room cove and a commercial restaurant facade. The product is the same.
Why Neon Flex Looks Different from Standard LED Strip
Standard LED strips emit from individual diode points. At close range, you see a row of dots instead of a clean line. Neon flex houses the strip inside a soft silicone diffuser — light spreads evenly across the full profile, producing one continuous edge of colour.
This is the right product for:
- Illuminated signage and lettering
- Architectural cove and reveal outlines
- Shopfront and hospitality perimeter lighting
- Any install where the strip itself is the visible design feature
Cutting and Connecting
Most profiles cut every 50mm. End caps, connectors, and mounting clips ship with every range — no soldering required for straight runs and standard joins. For complex layouts or project-based orders, contact us before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum run length?
12V runs up to 5 metres, 24V up to 20 metres, and both 48V and 220–240V AC up to 50 metres from a single power supply.
Can I use LED neon flex outdoors?
Yes — choose IP67 for garden structures and pergolas, or IP68 for permanent outdoor installs and water features.
Can I order a custom length?
Yes. Select your length directly on the product page. If you cannot find what you need, call or email us and we will specify the right product and length for your project.
What is the difference between LED neon flex and regular LED strip?
Neon flex diffuses light through a silicone sleeve, producing one clean continuous line. Regular LED strip shows individual diode dots at close range.

Shop compatible driversFrequently Asked Questions About LED Neon Flex
Technical answers for choosing, cutting, powering and installing LED Neon Flex.
Can LED Neon Flex be cut to an exact length?
Yes. Each product has marked cut intervals, which vary by profile and voltage. House of LEDs can cut and seal the run before dispatch so you receive the closest valid length without compromising the circuit.
How is LED Neon Flex installed?
Use mounting clips for curved layouts or a matching aluminium channel for straight lines. Plan the cable route, driver location and bend direction before fixing the channel. Outdoor cut ends and joints must be sealed to the product's IP rating.
What is the difference between top bend and side bend?
Top bend, also called vertical bend, curves up and down. Side bend, also called horizontal bend, curves left and right across a flat surface. Choose the bend plane that follows the shape of your installation.
Which IP rating should I use outdoors?
House of LEDs recommends IP67 for permanent above-ground outdoor installations and IP68 where the product will be continuously submerged. IP65 is intended for splash-resistant indoor or sheltered use.
Should I choose 12V, 24V or 48V Neon Flex?
Use 12V for short runs, 24V for most room and garden projects, and 48V for extra-long runs where lower current reduces voltage drop. The exact maximum run depends on the profile and product specification.
How do I size the LED driver?
Multiply the product wattage per metre by the total run length, then add 20 to 30 percent headroom. The driver's output voltage must exactly match the Neon Flex voltage.
