LED Lighting provides alternative for neon lighting.
September 24, 2004 - LED-FLEX lights are durable UV protected tubes lined with LED lamps for illumination. Flexible enough to bend up to 180°, they require 1.92 W/ft. of energy, contain no harmful gases, and can be custom cut and shaped on-site. Completely sealed and impervious to shock or vibration, lights are suitable for outdoor use and last up to 100,000 hr. They are available in red, green, blue, and yellow, in 30 and 150 ft. lengths.

-- Energy-efficient LED-FLEX(tm) lighting reduces operating costs by up to 90%
-- More flexible and durable design promotes versatility
-- Solid state technology ideal for demanding applications
Providence, RI -- Architects, designers, builders and facilities managers who like the look of neon now have a more energy efficient and versatile alternative. New LED-FLEX(tm) LED (light emitting diode) lighting from Mule Lighting, Inc., has the same appearance as traditional neon lighting, but requires less energy, is more flexible and durable, and can be used in many applications where neon is not appropriate.
LED-FLEX lights are durable UV protected tubes lined with LED lamps for illumination. These lights are flexible enough to bend up to 180 degrees, offering a user-friendly alternative to delicate, glass-based neon bulbs. LED-FLEX lights from Mule contain no harmful gases, making them safe to handle, and can be custom cut and shaped on-site, without the need for specially trained personnel.
"Our new LED-FLEX lighting looks exactly like traditional neon, but it is so versatile, the applications are virtually limitless," said Rob Cross, VP at Mule Lighting. "In addition to reducing energy and maintenance costs, LED-FLEX lights are completely sealed and impervious to shock or vibration, making them suitable for outdoor use, for areas subject to vibration, and even wet applications."
The LED lamps used for illumination in LED-FLEX lights require as little as 1.92 watts of energy per foot, making them 10 to 50% more energy efficient than traditional lighting, including neon. This reduction in energy consumption makes LED-FLEX a cost-effective and environmentally sound alternative to neon lighting in many applications.
LED-FLEX lights are also more stable than neon. While neon, incandescent and fluorescent lighting sources rely on a combination of filaments and/or gases, which fail after a limited number of hours, LED-FLEX lights use a semi-conducting material that converts electricity directly into light. This solid state design enables the lights to withstand shock, vibration, frequent switching, and temperature and environmental extremes without compromising performance.
The LED technology allows LED-FLEX lighting to last up to 100,000 hours, which translates into more than 10 years if run continuously. This drastically reduces maintenance time and cost.
"LED-FLEX lights will save all users on maintenance costs when compared to neon," said Cross. "But these savings become more significant in settings like casinos that have constant traffic, or the exterior of high-rises or bridges, where routine maintenance requires extraordinary, and expensive, safety precautions be taken."
LED-FLEX give off minimal levels of heat and can be used in areas that may come in contact with people, products or decorative materials. Appropriate for both interior and exterior applications, LED-FLEX lighting is ideal for: architectural borders on high-rise buildings, casinos, signage, step and path lighting, bridges, cruise ships, amusement park rides, hotels, cove lighting, retail stores, display cases and shelves, freezers and refrigerators, to name a few.
LED-FLEX lights are available in red, green, blue and yellow base colors. They can be ordered in 30' (24 volt) and 150' (120 volt) lengths.
