Separated Neon Flex | 8mm

Designed to bend. Built to shine.

DIY neon, done properly

Separated Neon Flex is made for signmakers, shopfitters and anyone creating custom neon: business logos, feature lettering, wall art, event signs and channel letters. Because the strip and tube are separate, you can route your design straight into acrylic or board, follow tight curves and sharp corners, and finish with a seamless glow that looks like the real thing.

The 8mm tube gives a bolder, wider line. It suits larger lettering, shopfront logos and statement signs. If your design needs a finer stroke, look at Separated Neon Flex | 6mm.

Why choose Separated Neon Flex

• Seamless and tray-free. No mounting tray or channel, so complex signs keep a clean, modern look.
• Quick, straightforward setup. Route a groove, lay the strip, then press in the tube. It's an easy way to build custom logos.
• Ultra-flexible. The tube bends easily for intricate, curved designs and script lettering.
• Indoor and outdoor ready. Made with durable, high-protection silicone.
• Cut to suit. The strip can be cut every 25 mm, so it fits your design closely.
• Low-voltage and efficient. It runs on 12 V DC and draws 8 W per metre.

How to make a neon sign

This is how it's done, step by step:

1. Carve the groove. Use a milling cutter to route your design into the backing board or acrylic.
2. Lay the LED strip. Pull the LED strip into the groove. Join separate runs with transparent wire.
3. Wire the power lead. Fit a transparent DC lead to the strip. It gives you a quick connection to a dimmer and power adapter.
4. Cut and fit the neon tube. Cut the tube to length for each part of the design. At corners, make a cut with a vertical knife and then bend the tube to the right angle. Finish the ends with a round cutting knife, then press the tube into the groove.
5. Power up. Connect a 12 V DC adapter and your sign is lit.

Tip: test the strip before you fit the tube. Size your 12 V DC power supply to the total length you're running, at 8 W per metre. We can help you work that out.
