Illuminated signs: LED modules vs. flexible neon
Power draw, brightness, durability and total cost, we compare the two most requested technologies of 2026.
Choosing between LED modules and flexible neon affects both your electricity bill and the visual impact of the facade. Both technologies are mature, but they solve different problems.
LED modules
Ideal for channel letters and light boxes. High brightness, easy maintenance, under 15 W per linear metre.
Flexible LED neon
A continuous line of light, perfect for stylised logos and interior fit-outs. Higher cost per metre, but superior visual impact.
Quick comparison
- Brightness: LED modules win.
- Curves and handwritten scripts: flexible neon wins.
- Maintenance: LED modules, parts are replaced individually.
- Upfront cost: LED modules are more affordable.
