Structure of LED Neon Flex Lights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe structure of LED Neon Flex Lights consists of a flexible LED strip encased in a protective layer made of PVC, silicone, or PU (polyurethane). This outer layer helps diffuse the light, ensuring that the illumination is smooth and uniform. The flexible nature of the LED strip allows it to bend and adapt to various shapes, making it suitable for creative and versatile lighting applications. The material used for the outer casing also provides durability, weather resistance, and enhanced light diffusion, contributing to a high-quality lighting effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Produce LED Neon Flex Lights?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe production of LED Neon Flex Lights is divided into two main parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Producing the LED Flexible Strip<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe LED flexible strip is produced first, and this strip serves as the light source for the neon lights. For detailed instructions on how to produce LED strips, please refer to our other blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Adding the Silicone Shell<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nAfter producing the LED strip, the next step is to add the silicone shell to the LED strip. There are two main methods for this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nLED Strip and Silicone Integrated Extrusion<\/strong>Manual Method (Inserting the LED Strip into the Silicone Tube)<\/strong>LED Strip and Silicone Integrated Extrusion Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis is the more advanced and efficient method. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Mixing Silicone<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe silicone used for neon lights typically comes in two types: milky white<\/strong> (for diffusion) and white<\/strong> (for blocking light). At MSHLED, we use three types of silicone, including a transparent<\/strong> one for clearly marking cutting points.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo achieve different silicone colors, a specific proportion of diffusion powder<\/strong> is added to the silicone. The more powder added, the whiter the silicone and the lower the light transmission rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2: Extrusion Process<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe LED strip is installed onto a rolling payoff frame and adjusted to the proper sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Silicone Extrusion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe LED strip and silicone are passed through a pre-assembled die. The machine wraps the silicone around the LED strip, beginning the extrusion process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Vulcanizing Process<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe silicone-coated LED strip is then passed through a vulcanizing oven<\/strong> where it is slowly shaped and solidified. The temperature is carefully controlled to prevent burning the LED beads. Once vulcanized, the neon light is pulled out by a tractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manual Method (Inserting LED Strip into Silicone Tube)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nStep 1: Silicone Extrusion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nUsing a silicone extrusion machine, we create silicone neon sleeves. This process is similar to the integrated extrusion method but lacks the LED strip inside the silicone tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Inserting LED Strip<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nTake the prepared LED strip and manually insert it into the silicone neon tube using a wire. This process involves pulling the wire at the other end to insert the LED strip into the silicone tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silicone Integrated Extrusion vs. Manual Method<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s a comparison between the two methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\nFactor<\/strong><\/td>Integrated Extrusion<\/strong><\/td>Manual Method<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>Length<\/strong><\/td>Can produce longer neon strips, up to 50 meters<\/td> Limited to 5 meters<\/td><\/tr> Quality<\/strong><\/td>Higher quality, as the silicone and LED strip are tightly bonded<\/td> Can be looser, with potential for misalignment<\/td><\/tr> Efficiency<\/strong><\/td>Higher efficiency, faster production<\/td> Slower and less efficient<\/td><\/tr> Cost<\/strong><\/td>More expensive for small quantities<\/td> Cheaper for small runs or samples<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
