Key Features

1. 120 SMD3538 RGBW LEDs – True Color + Dedicated Warm White

With 120 LEDs per meter, this neon flex delivers:

  • High brightness and vivid RGB color mixing

  • Dedicated 3000K warm white chip for pure, clean white light

  • Smooth, seamless light with no visible hotspots

  • Uniform illumination across the entire 5‑meter run

The SMD3538 RGBW LED integrates red, green, blue, and a dedicated warm white chip in a single package — eliminating the color mixing artifacts common with standard RGB strips.

2. Top‑View 12×12mm Profile – Slim & Versatile

The 12×12mm square section makes this neon flex suitable for a wide range of applications:

  • Building outlines and architectural accents

  • Channel letters and signage

  • Display cases and retail shelving

  • Cove and accent lighting

The top‑view design directs light forward, creating a clean, focused glow .

3. DC24V Operation – Long Runs, Consistent Brightness

Operating at DC24V offers:

  • Reduced voltage drop over longer distances

  • Consistent brightness across the full 5‑meter roll

  • Efficient power consumption at 14.4W/m

  • Compatibility with standard 24V power supplies

Recommended: For runs longer than 5 meters, power injection is recommended to maintain uniform brightness.

4. IP67 Waterproof – Indoor & Outdoor Ready

With an IP67 rating, this neon flex is:

  • Fully dust‑tight

  • Protected against temporary immersion in water

  • Suitable for outdoor facades, wet locations, and exposed installations

Note: The high‑quality silicone housing is UV‑resistant and anti‑yellowing, ensuring long‑term durability even in outdoor environments.
