LED Neon Flex™ (Economical) was developed to meet low cost requirements for non commercial applications or applications with budget constraints. Most factors remain the same, such as PVC material, copper wire and craftsmanship. Compared with Professional & Plus, it’s much lower in cost, but sacrifices a large degree of brightness, quality and color consistency. Economical Flex is the only lower end product similar to “NeoFlex” that is UL Listed. UL Standards for Safety are essential to helping ensure public safety and confidence, reduce costs, and improve quality.
Comparison between Professional & Economical
Below we provided all the comparisons needed to help you make a decision on what product suits your needs best.

Comments |
| LED Type |
Special Ultra Bright LED |
Standard Brightness LED |
Professional LED Neon Flex™ uses Superior Wavelength Graded Ultra Bright LED’s while the Economical offers quality Standard Brightness LED’s |
| LED Spacing |

1.5 Cm |
|
| LED Spec |
(+/- 5nm) |
(+/- 10nm) |
Every LED is tested to ensure consitency of color (wavelength) and to offer multi-tier grades of products based upon the ability to select chips according to their tolerance and our standards. |
| PVC |
Two Layer |
Single Layer |
The outter jacket if the LED Neon Flex is constructed of PVC and based on the two grades Professional and Economical either a double or single layer of PVC is applied. This has an effect on the optical enhancement of the LED color and light transmission efficiency. |
| Base Jacket |
White PVC |
None |
The function of the White Base Jacket for the Professional is to reflect “shape” and redirect the light from the LED upward and outward to the surface of the difusser. Thus enhancing the actual and percieved brightness of the Professional LED Neon Flex. |
| Stability |
High Stability |
Average Stability |
Stability of each grade is directly corresponding to the quality of the LED applied within each Grade. The Professional which uses the highest quality LED would therefore have enhanced stability over the Economical. However the quality of the Economical LED still conforms to our high standards which are considered higher than the general market standard. |
| MTBF(Lifetime) |
Longer MTBF |
Shorter MTBF |
Lifetime is termed by the lighting industry as MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) which is when 50% of traditional lamps fail. For LED we use Lumens Deprecitaion which is relative to SSL (Solid State Lighting) |
| Lumens Depreciation |
50,000 to 80,000 hours |
40,000 to 60,000 hours |
See LED Lifetime information below for a more indepth explaination of Lumens Depreciation. |
| Color Consistency |
Consistant |
Some inconsitancy’s can occur |
The consitency of the Economical can fluxtuate due to the LED Spec standard of +/- 10nm and the single PVC layer process. The Professional offers the maximum consitency which is relative to its high standards. |
| Chormatic Aberrations |
None |
Yes |
Chromatic Aberrations are inconsitencies with color that occur when wavelengths are not matched coupled with less diffusive materials such as in single layer PVC processing of the exterior jacket. |
| Percieved Brightness |
High |
Lower |
Professional LED Neon-Flex has the highest percieved brightness due to all the factors listed in this chart. However, Economical has been engineered to provide a high brightness for the value. |
| UV Treatment |
Yes |
Yes |
UV treatment effects cost very little and is incorporated into both to enhance both Professional and Economical’s ability to be used in high UV areas such as areas exposed to direct sunlight. |
| Low Voltage |
|
Different |
The cut length of Economical has been adjusted so that the quantity of LEDs per unit and the power consumtion matches so that the same power supplies can be used. |
