PU vs Silicone LED Neon Flex Lights: Which Is Better?

PU flexible neon strips are unsuitable for areas experiencing high temperatures near the equator and low temperatures at the North and South Poles. Silicone neon lights can operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -40 to 65 degrees Celsius, while PU is limited to -25 to 50 degrees Celsius.

Silicone is recognized for its stable chemical properties. It does not react with most substances, except for strong alkalis and hydrofluoric acid. Due to its resistance to corrosion, silicone neon lights can be safely installed in various challenging environments, such as coastal areas, chemical plants, gas stations, and boats.

In many regions, the hottest temperatures can soar up to 38-40 degrees Celsius. With the ongoing effects of global warming, heatwaves have become a frequent occurrence, presenting new challenges for outdoor lighting solutions. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can elevate the temperature of installation surfaces by an additional 10-15 degrees Celsius compared to the surrounding air. Conversely, in extremely cold regions at higher northern latitudes, temperatures can plummet to -40 degrees Celsius. Given these conditions, silicone neon lights emerge as a superior choice for outdoor applications, as they cater to people’s everyday needs and various environmental challenges, which is often not possible with PU.
