Industry solution
Signage outlines and illuminated letters using neon flex and COB
A sign maker outlines letters and shopfront frames and needs a bendable, thin line that survives wind and rain on an external fascia.
What usually goes wrong here
- Letter outlines need tight bends without a break in the line
- External fascia gets sun, rain and wind vibration
- Signage replacement cycles are short — serviceability matters
- Colour consistency between letters of the same sign

Selection rules
These are the four decisions that decide whether the site accepts the installation.
| Neon flex 8-10 mm for readable letter outlines; it bends, COB does not | |
|---|---|
| IP65 sleeve + silicone end cap for external fascias | |
| One production batch for the whole sign — mixed bins rewrite the logo | |
| Short bend radius spec from the factory, then template the letters |
Installation notes
Support every 150-200 mm on external signs; wind vibration breaks the solder joints on unsupported spans. Use weather-grade silicone, not ethyl acetate tape.
Send the letter drawing or frame size — we return the per-letter metre count and bend radius.
We answer with a line-by-line spec you can forward to your installer without re-translating it.
