Outdoor LED Neon Flex

Looking to add some serious wow factor to your outdoor space? Brilliant! You've just landed on our collection of Outdoor LED Neon Flex – tough-as-nails lighting that brings all the visual impact of neon but can handle whatever the British weather throws at it!

Our Outdoor LED Neon Flex is specifically engineered to brave the elements while still delivering that gorgeous, continuous light effect that makes neon so eye-catching. Unlike traditional glass neon (which would shatter at the first frost), these flexible, weatherproof beauties keep shining through rain, snow, and whatever else our lovely UK climate dishes out.

What makes our Outdoor Neon Flex special? For starters, they're properly protected with IP65 to IP68 ratings – that means they're completely dust-tight and can handle powerful water jets or even submersion. The durable silicone housing not only protects the LEDs inside but also diffuses the light perfectly to create that smooth, dot-free glow you're after.

We've got a fantastic range of options here – different colours from classic warm whites to vibrant blues and reds, plus RGB versions that can change colour with a tap of your remote. Whether you're lighting up a garden path, creating a stunning shop sign, or adding some pizzazz to your pub's beer garden, our Outdoor LED Neon Flex is built to impress year-round without constant maintenance or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What IP rating do I need for outdoor LED neon flex?
For proper outdoor use in the UK, you'll want at least IP65 rating, which handles rain and water jets from any direction. For areas that might flood or where the lights could be temporarily submerged (like near a pond or in flood-prone areas), go for IP67. If your lights will be permanently underwater, like in a fountain or pool feature, you'll need our IP68-rated options. All our outdoor neon flex products are clearly labelled with their IP rating so you can choose the right protection level for your specific environment.

How long will outdoor LED neon flex last in British weather?
Our outdoor neon flex is built tough! In typical British conditions, you can expect a lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours – that's around 10+ years of normal evening use, even accounting for our delightful mix of rain, frost, and occasional heatwaves. The UV-resistant silicone housing prevents yellowing and degradation from sunlight, while the fully-sealed construction keeps moisture from damaging the LEDs inside. Many of our customers have had their outdoor neon flex running for years without any issues.

Can I install outdoor LED neon flex myself?
Absolutely! Most of our customers tackle it as a weekend DIY project. The flexible nature makes it easy to work with, and since most versions operate at a low voltage (12V or 24V), they're much safer to handle than traditional high-voltage neon. We provide mounting clips or channels with our products, and installation typically involves securing these to your desired surface and then pressing the neon flex into place. For mains voltage versions (220-240V), we'd recommend getting a qualified electrician involved, but the actual mounting is still straightforward.

What's the difference between indoor and outdoor LED neon flex?
The main difference is the level of weatherproofing. Indoor neon flex typically has minimal or no waterproofing (IP20-IP44), while our outdoor versions feature robust IP65-IP68 protection against dust and water. Outdoor neon flex also has UV-resistant housing to prevent damage from sunlight, thicker silicone casing for better durability, and typically more robust connectors designed to maintain waterproof integrity. The lighting effect is similar, but outdoor versions are built to withstand far harsher conditions.

Do you sell coloured outdoor LED neon flex?
We certainly do! While warm white and cool white are popular classics, we also offer a rainbow of vibrant colours including red, green, blue, yellow, and pink. For maximum flexibility, check out our RGB outdoor neon flex options that let you change colours using a remote control or even your smartphone. These are brilliant for seasonal decorations, events, or just matching your outdoor lighting to your mood or the occasion!

Can outdoor LED neon flex be cut to size?
Yes! Most of our outdoor neon flex products can be cut at marked intervals along the strip – usually every few centimetres. Look for the cutting marks (scissors icons or lines) on the product. The important bit with outdoor versions is properly sealing the cut end – we supply weatherproof end caps and sealant that must be applied correctly to maintain the waterproof integrity. For those not comfortable with cutting and sealing, we also offer custom pre-cut lengths and can advise on the best solution for your project.

How do I power outdoor LED neon flex?
Our outdoor neon flex comes in different voltage options. The 12V and 24V versions require a weatherproof transformer (power supply) that connects to your mains electricity. These transformers need to be installed in a protected location or housed in a weatherproof box. We also offer mains-powered (220-240V) versions that can connect more directly to your outdoor power supply. For truly remote locations, we have solar-powered controllers available for some models. All our outdoor kits come with proper IP-rated connectors to maintain the waterproof integrity of the system.

Can outdoor LED neon flex handle freezing temperatures?
Absolutely! Our outdoor neon flex is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C, which covers everything the British climate can throw at it, from winter freezes to summer heatwaves. The flexible silicone housing actually maintains its flexibility even in cold conditions, unlike some plastic-based products that become brittle. The LED technology itself is also well-suited to cold weather – in fact, LEDs often perform more efficiently in cooler temperatures than in hot environments.

Do you sell outdoor LED neon flex with controllers?
Yes, we offer various control options for our outdoor neon flex. For single-colour versions, we have dimmers that let you adjust brightness. For RGB versions, we provide weatherproof controllers with remote controls that allow you to change colours, adjust brightness, and activate various effects like fading, flashing, or smooth transitions. We also have smart controllers that connect to WiFi, allowing you to control your outdoor lighting from your smartphone or integrate it with home automation systems. All our controllers are properly rated for outdoor use when installed correctly.

What are the most popular uses for outdoor LED neon flex?
Our customers use outdoor neon flex for all sorts of brilliant projects! Popular applications include outlining buildings and architectural features, creating weatherproof signage for shops and restaurants, illuminating garden paths and driveways for safety and style, decorating patios and decking areas, highlighting landscape features like trees or water elements, and creating stunning festive displays that can stay up regardless of weather. The hospitality industry loves using it for beer gardens and outdoor seating areas, while homeowners appreciate the way it adds kerb appeal and practical lighting to their property.
