Top Bend LED Neon Flex — Vertical Bend | DENO
Top bend LED neon flex from DENO LED is a flexible, linear lighting solution designed for direct-view applications requiring uniform light distribution along a single axis. These products typically operate at 24V, offering various power densities (e.g., 8-15 W/m) and high CRI (>90) for accurate color rendering. Encapsulated in silicone, they provide IP67 or IP68 protection, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor architectural accents, cove lighting, and signage outlines where light emission is required from the top surface.

Top Bending LED Neon Flex — Buyer Questions
What is a top bending LED neon flex?
A top bend neon strip flexes up and down, perpendicular to the emitting face, so it can crest over an edge, follow a dome or climb a vertical stroke while the light window keeps facing the viewer. It is the most common neon body type and covers cove lighting, step nosing, signage letters and handrails.

Which top bend neon size should I specify?
Cross-sections run 5×11 mm, 10×10 mm, 12×12 mm, 16×16 mm, 20×18 mm, 20×20 mm and 25×25 mm. Small sections suit letters and slim reveals; 16×16 mm and above give the deep, saturated neon line specified for façade and feature work. Match the emitting window to the visible aperture of the channel and keep the LED pitch at 120 LEDs/m or denser for a dot-free result.

What bend radius does vertical bending neon flex hold?
Typical top bend bodies hold R30–R50 mm; taller sections such as 25×25 mm need R100 mm or more. Bending tighter than the rating stretches the outer silicone wall, which shows as a pale band and, over time, as a stress line at the FPCB solder pads.

Is top bend neon flex suitable for letters and logos?
Yes — vertical strokes, dome tops and the crests of script letters are exactly what a top bend body is for. Fabricators normally combine top bend for the strokes with side bend for the horizontal curves, or use a mini top bend body throughout on letters under 100 mm deep.

Does a dome top LED neon strip look different from a flat top?
A dome top scatters light over a wider angle and hides the LED line better at close viewing distance, which is why it is preferred for exposed runs and lettering. A flat top concentrates output forward and reads sharper inside a channel or under a coving lip.

Can a top bend neon strip be used outdoors?
Yes, with an IP67 injection-moulded silicone body and sealed end caps. Outdoor top bend runs are standard on cornices, parapets, canopy edges and stair nosings; specify UV-stabilised silicone and a 105 μm copper FPCB so the run survives sun load and winter cycling without colour shift.
