What is LED neon flex?

LED neon flex is a flexible, energy-efficient alternative to traditional neon lighting. It is made of a clear PVC tubing that contains multiple small LED lights, which emit a bright and vibrant light. LED neon flex is often used for indoor and outdoor lighting, signage, and decoration, as it is flexible and easy to install, and it can be cut to custom lengths. Additionally, LED neon flex has a longer lifespan than traditional neon and is more environmentally friendly, as it uses less energy and generates less heat.
