FAQ
Q: What is the difference between side-emitting and front-emitting neon strip?
A: Front-emitting strips direct light straight up through the top face — suited to cabinet and cove lighting viewed from above or in front. Side-emitting strips like this one direct light out through the side profile, matching the geometry channel letter signage and edge-lit lettering require.
Q: Why is the output lower than a front-emitting strip with a similar LED count?
A: Side-emission uses a different optical path through the silicone jacket than front-emission, which typically produces a lower luminous flux figure for the same LED count and power. This is standard behaviour for side-emitting neon product, not a fault.
Q: Can this strip be used for cabinet lighting instead of signage?
A: It can, but the side-emission optic is specifically optimised for letter and sign applications. For general cabinet lighting, a front-emitting model in the range will produce more usable light for the same specification.
Q: What does Ruyi cut combined with 360° bend offer for sign work?
A: Together they allow the strip to follow curved letterforms and still terminate at an exact length — useful for scripted or curved logo lettering where standard cut intervals would not match the design precisely.
Q: Is IP68 sufficient for outdoor signage?
A: Yes, IP68 supports full outdoor exposure including rain and washdown conditions, appropriate for exterior signage and shop front installations.
Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
A: MOQ is 50 sets, lead time 15–21 days. Supplied on 5m reels, 10 reels per carton totalling 50m, shipped from Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
