Silicone neon lighting, as a unique form of lighting and visual communication technology, has undergone a journey from its peak to transformation since its inception in the early 20th century. Today, it still plays an role in specific fields and has regained vitality in contemporary design.
Silicone flexible light strips are also widely used in various places. The following pictures show the application scenarios of silicone flexible light strips.
Silicone flexible light strips are mainly classified into four categories: core characteristics, photoelectric parameters
I : Core Characteristics (The essential difference from other light strips)
- Encapsulation material: Silicone
. Type: Usually a high-transparency, UV-resistant solid silicone rubber.
. Function: Completely encloses the LED and circuit, providing waterproof, dustproof, corrosion-resistant, and tear-resistant protection, and making the light highly soft and uniform, achieving a continuous light effect similar to “neon lights”. - Protection level: IP67/IP68
These are the characteristic parameters of the silicone light strip. The fully encapsulated process enables it to reach the highest protection level.
.IP67: Can be briefly immersed (underwater 1 meter, 30 minutes), suitable for outdoor and environments with possible water accumulation.
.IP68: Can be continuously immersed for a long time (as specified by the manufacturer, water depth and duration), suitable for underwater scenes such as swimming pools and fountains.
- Light effect texture: Uniform and continuous “neon light effect”
. The silicone layer acts as a perfect diffuser for soft light, eliminating the graininess of the LEDs and creating a uniform, continuous light band without any spots. Visually, it is closest to traditional neon lights.
II. Photometric Parameters (Determining the Luminescence Quality)
- LED Chip Model and Brightness
Common models: 2835 (high luminous efficiency, mainstream), 5050 (high brightness, mostly used for RGB), 3535 (high-performance COB integrated type, extremely uniform luminous efficiency). Brightness: unit lumens/meter. Silicone packaging causes approximately 10-15% light loss, so the nominal brightness usually refers to the chip brightness before packaging. The actual light output is more gentle. For example, the high-brightness model can reach 1000-1500 lumens/meter
- Color Temperature
Single-color model: Commonly available are 2700K (warm yellow), 3000K (warm white), 4000K (natural white), and 6000K (bright white).
Dual-color temperature model: Adjustable from 2700K to 6500K. Requires a dual-color temperature controller.
- Color Types
- Monochromatic white light: The most commonly used, for basic lighting and outlining.
- RGB/RGBW: Variable colors. RGBW adds an independent white light channel to the red, green, and blue channels, enabling purer white light and a wider range of colors.
- Pixel light strips: Each LED is independently controllable, allowing for dynamic effects such as chasing, scanning, and patterns. Requires a dedicated pixel controller.
- Color Rendering Index
High-quality lighting is typically labeled with CRI (Ra) > 80. For commercial lighting or key lighting in homes, the requirement is usually CRI > 90 to ensure accurate color reproduction.
