GL LED Neon Light 1010N Top Bend is a versatile LED neon light product that can be bent vertically along a lighting surface to allow flexible lighting designs and produce uniform and even lights without any hotspots. This product is specially designed with the technology that a single damaged LED does not compromise the overall lighting effect of the strip light. It offers four distinct color temperatures, all with a CRI greater than 90. The surface of the neon light is treated with matte, producing its smoothness and resistance to dust. Its IP67 rating ensures the versatile application of the product in both indoor and outdoor environments.
What is the input voltage of a low voltage LED strip light?
GL LED low voltage strip lights are available in 12V or 24V DC. They require a compatible LED driver to convert standard 120V AC into safe low-voltage DC power. Using the wrong driver can lead to flickering, overheating, or permanent damage. Always match the power supply voltage to the LED strip’s rating. Proper voltage ensures consistent brightness, color accuracy, and a long lifespan. GL LED provides expert guidance and high-quality drivers for safe, efficient, and professional installations. Trust GL LED for reliable low voltage LED strip lighting solutions.

What Is Low Voltage LED Strip Light Power Consumption (W/ft)?
Power use is measured in watts per foot (W/ft) and depends on brightness, LED density, and color setup. To calculate total power: Watts = W/ft × total length (ft) When choosing a power supply, always add a safety margin: • Indoor: ×125% • Outdoor: ×150–200% This ensures stable, efficient performance and protects the driver from overload.

Are LED strip lights dimmable?
Yes, LED strip lights are dimmable. LEDs are naturally dimmable light sources. With a compatible power supply and dimmer, both single-color and color-changing strips can achieve smooth brightness control. GL LED offers a wide range of dimmable options, supporting PWM, Triac (forward phase), 0-10V, and ELV (reverse phase) dimming methods.Dimmable LED strips help save energy, extend lifespan, and create customizable lighting effects. GL LED helps customers select the right dimming system to ensure stable performance and meet specific lighting goals.

What wire gauge (AWG) is used for low voltage LED strips?
Wire gauge affects current capacity—lower numbers mean thicker wires. Choosing the right AWG prevents voltage drop, overheating, and fire risk, especially in long runs. At GL LED, most 12V/24V strips use 20 AWG, ideal for up to 10 ft and 5–11A loads. For longer runs or higher loads, 18 or 16 AWG is recommended to ensure brightness and safety. Read More >>>

What Is Voltage Drop in Low Voltage LED Strip Lights?
Voltage drop happens when current loses strength due to resistance in wires or LED strips. It causes reduced brightness, color shifts, or flickering—especially at the far end. Always check the product specs. If the LED strip exceeds the max run length, connect another power feed to prevent uneven brightness.

Color Temperature

What is color temperature?
Color temperature, measured in Kelvin (K), defines how warm or cool a light appears. Lower K values (like 2700K) create warm, yellowish tones; higher K values (like 4000K) produce cooler, bluish-white light. GL LED strip lights offer precise color consistency with 1-step MacAdam binning across all product lines. We follow ANSI C78.377-2017 and IES TM-30-18 standards to ensure excellent color accuracy and lighting quality. Whether you need cozy lighting for homes or bright, neutral tones for offices and retail, GL LED provides a full range of color temperatures to suit every space and design need. Read More >>>

Efficacy

What Is Light Efficacy (lm/W)? Does High lm/W Affect CRI?
Light efficacy (lm/W) shows how efficiently electricity is turned into visible light. Higher lm/W means more light per watt, saving energy and reducing heat. But as lm/W increases, CRI (Color Rendering Index) often drops. High-efficacy lights may appear bright but show colors poorly. Industrial lights favor lm/W, while retail and home lighting value high CRI for accurate, natural color.

What is CRI(Color Rendering Index)?
CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light source reveals true colors (scale 0–100). A CRI of 80+ is good for general lighting, while 90+ delivers high color fidelity, ideal for retail, medical, and photography. All GL LED strip lights feature CRI 90+ for vivid color, and the Legend series reaches CRI 97+ for exceptional color accuracy. Perfect for high-end lighting applications.

LED Strip Light IP Rating Guide
IP Rating = IP + Dustproof digit(0-6) + Waterproof digit(0-9)
Examples(IP20 vs IP65 vs IP67 vs IP68):
IP20-Not waterproof-Dry indoor areas
IP65-Water resistant-Kitchen, bathroom, damp place(Complete dust-tightness and against low-pressure water jets)
IP67-Temporary submersion-Outdoor(short-term water exposure)
IP68-Continuous underwater-Pools, underwater lighting
Pro Tip: Ensure waterproof connectors and buy from reputable brands to avoid fake ratings!
Bends along the light-emitting surface axis(front/back)
Bends perpendicular to the light surface(left/right)
Cannot bend sideways.
Cannot bend frontally.
Ideal for front-facing linear designs(e.g., signage outlines, cove lighting)
Easy Handles all kinds of curves design.
Application:
Top Bend: Retail signage, architectural accents.
Side Bend: Artistic installations, curved structures.
Note: Both types support single color and RGB color mixing.
