QolorFLEX NuNeon is a flexible and bright sealed LED linear lighting product that can be used to replace traditional neon lighting.

It operates on 24VDC, can be cut to length in 50mm (2”) increments, and includes 200mm (8”) flat cables on both ends for easy connections. QolorFLEX NuNeon is available in RGB in 5m reels, and seven distinctive colours in 10m reels.

QolorPIX plug and play pixel control products make it easy to create thousands of professional dynamic lighting effects - chases, fades, scrolls, bursts, and more - in minutes. Sold in 5m reels with 48 individually controlled LEDs per meter and compliant with CE, ETL, and RoHS, QolorPIX Pixel Controlled LED Tape is designed for the most demanding professional applications. Each reel includes a soldered-on four-pin XLR connector to create a plug and play connection to any one of the eight ports on the QolorPIX Tape Controller. The controller’s user-friendly interface allows users to change mode, pixel length, dimmer, personality start address, and direction, and uses Multiverse wireless DMX/RDM technology.
The QolorFLEX LED Tape line includes 40+ high quality tape options that help designers put light in places that were once thought impossible and create lighting fixtures and effects in a new and inexpensive way. For ultimate colour control, QolorFLEX 5-in-1 LED Tape offers designers a high output brightness and adjustable dual white to create a wide spectrum of finely tuned colors when used with a DMX color control system.
All QolorFLEX LED Tapes are ETL listed, sold in 5m reels, and include sixinch long soldered-on pigtails, enabling easy connections to QolorFLEX Dimmers for ultra-smooth, flicker-free dimming.
