How Side bending LED neon flex DL-SV-1018 performs on site
Specification notes for 10x18mm section 24V DC silicone neon: what it does outdoors, what it does around water, and how far it bends when you trace a building.
Outdoor & façade exposure
Specify for permanent exterior installation above the waterline (IP67).
The silicone is injection moulded onto the FPCB in one shot, so there is no glued cover to open up after a winter of thermal cycling — the failure mode PVC neon rope light shows in its second outdoor summer. UV-stabilised silicone keeps its colour instead of yellowing, and the body stays elastic from −30 °C to +80 °C, so a façade run installed in summer will not go brittle in a January frost. Feed with 24V DC and plan 5m per feed to hold end-of-run brightness across a long elevation.
- Sealed silicone body
- UV-stable silicone, −30 °C to +80 °C
- Low thermal load
Pools, spas & wet areas
Suitable for pool surrounds, spa ceilings and steam-adjacent joinery — not for submersion.
IP67 covers rain, splash, wash-down and steam — pool decks, shower reveals, sauna ceilings and spa coves — but the body is not intended to sit under water. Mount it above the waterline in an aluminium groove so condensate drains away from the feed joint, run 24V DC for wet-zone safety, and choose the IP68 variant where the channel can flood.

- 24V DC
- Moulded end cap and feed joint
Architectural contour & signage
Bends horizontally, flat on the wall at about R50mm — the right pick for curved building contours, balcony bands, circular ceilings and racetrack coves.
Side bending LED neon flex takes its curve horizontally, flat on the wall, which is what decides whether a shape is possible without cutting and re-soldering. At about R50mm the outside of the curve stays evenly lit: 60 LEDs/m is matched to the diffuser depth so you read a continuous line of light rather than dots, even at 30 cm. Printed cut marks with indexed solder pads underneath let a sign maker shorten a letter stroke on site and re-seal it, and mounting clips, aluminium grooves and moulded bend grooves cover surface, recessed and free-form fixing.
- Cross-section 10x18mm
- Bend radius about R50mm
- 60 LEDs/m, dot-free
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key waterproof and durability features of the DL-SV-1018 Neon LED Strip?
The DL-SV-1018 boasts an IP67 waterproof grade, offering exceptional protection against water, dust, and environmental elements. It is resistant to saline solutions, acids, alkalis, corrosive gases, fire, and UV, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding outdoor and indoor settings.
Can the DL-SV-1018 Neon LED Strip be customized or cut to specific lengths for my project?
Yes, the DL-SV-1018 is highly flexible and features clear cut marks for precise cutting at 50mm intervals. This allows for convenient and accurate customization of lengths, making it adaptable to various installation requirements and designs.
What power supply is compatible with the DL-SV-1018, and is it dimmable for different lighting needs?
The DL-SV-1018 requires a 24V DC input voltage, ensuring stable and efficient operation. It is fully dimmable, allowing businesses to adjust light intensity to create desired ambiances or meet specific lighting control requirements, enhancing energy efficiency.
What is the warranty and expected lifespan for the DL-SV-1018 Neon LED Strip Light?
DENO LED provides a 5-year warranty for the DL-SV-1018 Neon LED Strip Light, underscoring its quality and reliability. It has an impressive lifespan of 50,000 hours, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs for B2B clients.
What are the key specifications of #DL-SV-1018?
Side Bend LED Neon Flex DL-SV-1018 | 10x18mm | 24V: ≥ 60 LEDs/m, 24V DC, 10mm FPCB, cut unit 6LEDs/50mm. Photometric files, wiring diagrams and test reports are available in the downloads block on this page.
Which LED driver and run length suit #DL-SV-1018?
Side Bend LED Neon Flex DL-SV-1018 | 10x18mm | 24V is a constant-voltage 24V DC product, so pair it with a CE or UL listed 24V DC constant-voltage LED driver rated about 20% above the connected load. Maximum single run is 5m. 5m Single / 10m Dual Input power. Feeding from both ends or mid-feeding halves the copper distance and roughly quarters the voltage drop.
Side Bending LED Neon Flex — Buyer Questions
What is a side bending LED neon flex?
A side bend neon strip flexes left and right in the plane of the emitting face, so the run can follow a curve drawn on a wall or ceiling without twisting. The FPCB is built narrow with a serpentine copper layout, which is what allows horizontal bending without cracking the copper or stressing the solder joints.

Side bend or top bend — which one does my layout need?
Trace the run on the drawing: if the curve stays flat against the mounting surface (a circle on a wall, a wave along a ceiling), you need a side bending neon flex. If the curve climbs over an edge or follows a dome, you need top bend. Mixed geometry is normally split into two lengths joined at a straight section rather than forced onto one body.

What is the minimum bend radius of a side emitting bendable neon strip?
Typical side bend bodies hold R30 mm at 6×12 mm and R80–R120 mm at 12×25 mm; the wider the body in the bend plane, the larger the radius. Staying above the rated radius keeps the outer wall from whitening and prevents the pitch from opening up into visible dark spots on the outside of the curve.

Is side bend neon flex used for building contour lighting?
It is the default choice. Building contour and outline work follows the plane of the façade — cornices, arches, balcony edges — so the run must bend sideways while staying flat against the substrate. Combined with an IP67 injection-moulded body and stainless clips, a side bend LED neon flex holds a clean architectural outline through weather cycling.

Can flexible neon for curved walls be pre-shaped at the factory?
Yes. Send the radius set or a DXF outline and DENO supplies pre-formed lengths in a moldable bend groove, cut and terminated per segment. This removes on-site guesswork on scripts and logos, where an installer bending by hand will otherwise produce inconsistent curve tension along the run.

How far can one side bend neon run go on a single feed?
At 24V constant voltage, a 10 W/m body holds acceptable uniformity to about 5 m single-end or 10 m fed from both ends. Beyond that, use a constant-current build or 48V so the far end of the outline does not read dimmer than the start — the failure mode that shows up most on long contour runs.
