The 16x16mm silicone sleeve for LED strips is the ideal solution for transforming conventional LED strips into professional flexible neon with 3-sided illumination . If you're looking for a neon-like finish with greater luminosity and without the cost of traditional neon, this sleeve is the answer.
Designed to work with 8-12mm wide LED strips, its compact 12x12mm profile and recessed design allow for seamless integration into existing channels, grooves, or structures, achieving a clean, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing result. Its three-sided emission (front + two sides) creates a more voluminous and immersive neon effect than single-sided emission covers.
What makes this flexible neon silicone case so special?
Unlike conventional front-emitting covers, this one emits light from three sides at a 120° angle , wrapping around the perimeter and adding greater visual depth to the neon effect. It also features an internal guide that facilitates the installation of the LED strip, ensuring correct insertion and preventing misalignment that could affect the light output.
Its high-strength silicone isn't just for looks: it acts as a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and physical wear, significantly extending the lifespan of the installed LED strip. This makes it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor installations.
What is the 3-sided neon silicone case used for?
This cover is the preferred choice for designers, decorators, poster artists, and makers looking for a neon effect with greater volume and luminous impact:
- Illuminated letters and logos for shops, bars, restaurants and events
- Decorative signs and posters with a wrap-around neon-type finish
- Interior design : bedrooms, living rooms, studios and creative spaces
- Shop windows and display cases with striking, perimeter lighting
- Architectural lighting and recessed signage projects
- Stands and exhibits at trade fairs and events
- Themed decorations for parties, weddings and celebrations
Trifacial emission: the key to the enveloping neon effect
Unlike simple front-emitting cases, the light not only shines forward but also to the sides, creating a luminous halo that surrounds the profile and adds greater presence and depth to the design.
Thanks to its flexibility, silicone diffuses the point light from the LEDs, distributing it evenly across the entire emitting surface, without hot spots or variations in intensity.
Durability and protection guaranteed
The high-strength silicone serves a dual purpose: it provides the characteristic diffused visual effect of flexible neon, softening the focused light from the LEDs and distributing it evenly across three sides. At the same time, it acts as a protective casing against external elements such as:
- Dust and environmental particles
- Humidity and splashes
- Minor bumps and scrapes
- Temperature variations
How do I install it?
Installation is simple and intuitive. Its recessed design allows it to be installed in channels or grooves prepared for this purpose, achieving seamless integration with the surface. The internal guide correctly orients the LED strip during insertion, preventing twists or incorrect positioning. Once the strip is installed, the cover can be secured with clips or mounting profiles (not included), or adhered directly depending on the type of support.
