01 / A good place to start

In one minute

The same bright idea.
Different components.

Standard LED and Premium UltraLED™ are two component grades for your LED neon sign. The practical difference depends on its construction: integrated or split, also known as assembled neon.

Construction follows the design. The grade defines the components.
Integrated or split describes how the sign is made. Standard or Premium defines the components used in that construction.

The Premium promise

Carefully crafted light.
Down to
every component.

Premium UltraLED™ combines latest-generation components with precise manufacturing to enhance your sign’s light quality and durability.

  1. 01

    A longer lifespan

    Materials and manufacturing designed to keep your sign shining over time.

  2. 02

    Brighter light

    Silicone supports light transmission in integrated construction; finer cutting intervals make LED positioning easier in split construction.

  3. 03

    Better energy efficiency

    Components designed to combine light quality with controlled energy consumption.

  4. 04

    Better heat management

    In integrated construction, the silicone enclosure is designed to help dissipate heat.

  5. 05

    Greater UV and temperature resistance

    Pure silicone improves the material’s resilience to sunlight and temperature changes.

02 / Integrated construction

Materials, upgraded.

From PVC
to pure silicone.

In an integrated LED neon sign, the Premium version replaces the Standard version’s PVC sheath with a one-piece pure silicone extrusion that encapsulates the LED strip.

This change is designed to improve light transmission, protect the strip and enhance material stability in heat and outdoor conditions.

Key point: here, the Premium upgrade primarily concerns the enclosure material.

03 / Split construction · assembled neon

Precision, upgraded.

Precision,
LED by LED.

In a split LED neon sign, the strip is cut and positioned to follow the design. The Premium difference lies in the cutting points: one LED per section, compared with three in Standard.

In split construction, the Premium upgrade concerns strip cutting and positioning, with greater freedom for short segments.

Standard LED

3 LEDs per cuttable section

Premium UltraLED™

1 LED per cuttable section

Closer cutting points give greater freedom during assembly.

Two strips with nine identical LEDs: Standard can be cut in groups of three LEDs, Premium after each LED. The difference is in the cutting positions, not a higher LED density.

Browse all our FAQs
What is the difference between a Standard LED neon sign and a Premium UltraLED™ neon sign?

Standard LED is our quality solution offering excellent value. Premium UltraLED™ upgrades selected components: a pure silicone sheath replaces PVC in integrated construction; in split construction, the strip can be cut after each LED, compared with every three LEDs in Standard.

Is Premium UltraLED™ a different type of neon?

It is an upgrade in LED neon materials and manufacturing. The change depends on the construction: pure silicone for integrated construction, or cutting after each LED for split construction.

What is the advantage for small details?

In split construction, cutting after each LED allows precise adjustment of short segments. In integrated construction, the neon shape is planned around the firmness of silicone and the fineness of the design.

What should I consider for an outdoor installation?

An outdoor installation requires a configuration suited to the site’s exposure. Together, we define the protection of the neon sign, connections and power supply, as well as the installation conditions.
