Neon Flexível de LED de Curva Superior — Curva Vertical | DENO

Outdoor & façade exposure

Specify for permanent exterior installation above the waterline (IP67).

The silicone is injection moulded onto the FPCB in one shot, so there is no glued cover to open up after a winter of thermal cycling — the failure mode PVC neon rope light shows in its second outdoor summer. UV-stabilised silicone keeps its colour instead of yellowing, and the body stays elastic from −30 °C to +80 °C, so a façade run installed in summer will not go brittle in a January frost. Feed with low-voltage DC and plan short runs per feed to hold end-of-run brightness across a long elevation.

• Sealed silicone body
• UV-stable silicone, −30 °C to +80 °C
• Low thermal load

Pools, spas & wet areas

Suitable for pool surrounds, spa ceilings and steam-adjacent joinery — not for submersion.

IP67 covers rain, splash, wash-down and steam — pool decks, shower reveals, sauna ceilings and spa coves — but the body is not intended to sit under water. Mount it above the waterline in an aluminium groove so condensate drains away from the feed joint, run low-voltage DC for wet-zone safety, and choose the IP68 variant where the channel can flood.

Architectural contour & signage

Bends vertically, over and under the emitting face at tight vertical radii — the right pick for channel letters, logos, arches, domes and cove crests.

Top bending LED neon flex takes its curve vertically, over and under the emitting face, which is what decides whether a shape is possible without cutting and re-soldering. At tight vertical radii the outside of the curve stays evenly lit: the LED pitch is matched to the diffuser depth so you read a continuous line of light rather than dots, even at 30 cm. Printed cut marks with indexed solder pads underneath let a sign maker shorten a letter stroke on site and re-seal it, and mounting clips, aluminium grooves and moulded bend grooves cover surface, recessed and free-form fixing.

• Bend radius tight vertical radii
• Dot-free diffusion

What is a top bending LED neon flex?

A top bend neon strip flexes up and down, perpendicular to the emitting face, so it can crest over an edge, follow a dome or climb a vertical stroke while the light window keeps facing the viewer. It is the most common neon body type and covers cove lighting, step nosing, signage letters and handrails.

Which top bend neon size should I specify?

Cross-sections run 5×11 mm, 10×10 mm, 12×12 mm, 16×16 mm, 20×18 mm, 20×20 mm and 25×25 mm. Small sections suit letters and slim reveals; 16×16 mm and above give the deep, saturated neon line specified for façade and feature work. Match the emitting window to the visible aperture of the channel and keep the LED pitch at 120 LEDs/m or denser for a dot-free result.

What bend radius does vertical bending neon flex hold?

Typical top bend bodies hold R30–R50 mm; taller sections such as 25×25 mm need R100 mm or more. Bending tighter than the rating stretches the outer silicone wall, which shows as a pale band and, over time, as a stress line at the FPCB solder pads.

Is top bend neon flex suitable for letters and logos?

Yes — vertical strokes, dome tops and the crests of script letters are exactly what a top bend body is for. Fabricators normally combine top bend for the strokes with side bend for the horizontal curves, or use a mini top bend body throughout on letters under 100 mm deep.

Does a dome top LED neon strip look different from a flat top?

A dome top scatters light over a wider angle and hides the LED line better at close viewing distance, which is why it is preferred for exposed runs and lettering. A flat top concentrates output forward and reads sharper inside a channel or under a coving lip.

Can a top bend neon strip be used outdoors?

Yes, with an IP67 injection-moulded silicone body and sealed end caps. Outdoor top bend runs are standard on cornices, parapets, canopy edges and stair nosings; specify UV-stabilised silicone and a 105 μm copper FPCB so the run survives sun load and winter cycling without colour shift.
