What Is LUMINEX™ Neon Technology?
LUMINEX™ Neon Technology is a state-of-the-art solution designed to elevate the performance and aesthetic appeal of LED neon signs. Unlike traditional neon, which uses gas-filled glass tubes, or standard LED neon signs made with lower-quality materials, LUMINEX™ leverages high-end components like 100% pure extruded silicone tubing and the advanced Sanan 2835 LED Chipset to create a superior product.
Key Components of LUMINEX™
Advanced Silicone Tubing: LUMINEX™ uses top-grade extruded silicone tubing known for its flexibility, durability, and excellent light diffusion.
Sanan 2835 LED Chipset: This high-efficiency LED chipset from Sanan Optoelectronics ensures optimal brightness and energy efficiency.
Precision Engineering: LUMINEX™ signs are engineered to precise standards, ensuring seamless integration of components for superior performance.
The Advantages of LUMINEX™ Neon Technology
LUMINEX™ Neon Technology offers numerous advantages that set it apart from both traditional neon and standard LED neon products on the market.
1. Unmatched Brightness and Visual Quality
LUMINEX™ signs are renowned for their superior brightness, a result of the high-efficiency Sanan 2835 LED Chipset and the high light transmission rate of the silicone tubing. With a light transmission rate of approximately 90%, LUMINEX™ signs deliver a bright, consistent glow that is free from hotspots, ensuring a smooth and professional appearance.
High LED Density: LUMINEX™ features a density of 120 LEDs per meter, which enhances the brightness and uniformity of the light. This high density ensures that the sign emits a vibrant, continuous glow, making it a standout feature in any environment.
Vibrant Colours: Thanks to the advanced silicone and Sanan LEDs, LUMINEX™ technology maintains rich, consistent colours that remain true to the original design, regardless of lighting conditions
2. Exceptional Durability and Weather Resistance
LUMINEX™ signs are built to endure, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The silicone used in LUMINEX™ can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -50°C to 150°C without losing its flexibility or structural integrity. This ensures that the signs remain durable and functional in even the harshest environments.
UV Resistance: LUMINEX™ silicone is highly resistant to UV light, meaning the signs will not yellow, fade, or degrade, even after prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This makes LUMINEX™ the perfect choice for outdoor signage that needs to maintain its vibrancy over time.
Corrosion Resistance: The extruded silicone used in LUMINEX™ is resistant to common corrosive substances like acids, alkalis, and salts. This allows LUMINEX™ signs to be used in challenging environments such as coastal areas, chemical plants, and gas stations without risk of deterioration.
Tear Resistance: LUMINEX™ silicone offers excellent tear resistance, meaning it can withstand physical stress and manual handling without damage. This robustness ensures the sign’s longevity, making it a reliable investment.
3. Energy Efficiency and Longevity
LUMINEX™ Neon Technology is designed for maximum energy efficiency, making it an environmentally friendly option. The Sanan 2835 LED Chipset is known for its low power consumption, which helps reduce energy costs while delivering bright, efficient illumination.
Low Heat Emission: The thermal conductivity of LUMINEX™ silicone is 0.27W/MK, significantly higher than PVC’s 0.14W/MK. This superior heat dissipation ensures that the LEDs operate at optimal temperatures, preventing overheating and extending the lifespan of the sign.
Long Lifespan: LUMINEX™ signs boast an impressive LED lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, far surpassing that of traditional neon and many standard LED signs. This longevity ensures that your sign remains bright and functional for years to come.
4. Unit Cut for Precise, Hand-Crafted Detail
LUMINEX™ technology offers unparalleled flexibility in design, allowing for intricate, custom shapes and sizes that are difficult to achieve with traditional neon or standard LED options. A critical feature that sets LUMINEX™ apart is our Unit Cut capability, which allows for precise hand-crafted detailing in our signs.
What is Unit Cut?: Unit Cut is a manufacturing technique that allows the silicone tubing to be cut to lengths as small as 0.83cm, ensuring that even the most intricate designs can be executed with precision. This level of detail is essential for custom designs that require exact specifications, such as logos or complex graphics.
Hand-Crafted Precision: Each LUMINEX™ sign is meticulously hand-crafted using the Unit Cut method, ensuring that every detail is accurately reproduced. This attention to detail is what makes our signs truly custom and uniquely tailored to each client's needs.
Comparing LUMINEX™ Chipset to the Rest of the Neon Sign Market
When it comes to LED neon signs, the choice of chipset is crucial in determining the overall performance, durability, and quality of the sign. While many Chinese suppliers and lower-end manufacturers use the Sanan 3.0-3.2V LED Chipset, LUMINEX™ technology exclusively utilizes the superior Sanan 2835 LED Chipset. This decision is not just about offering a better product, but about ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality, most reliable neon signs available.
Market Overview: Inferior Chipsets in the Industry
In the neon sign market, there are numerous suppliers, particularly from China, that use lower-quality chipsets like the Sanan 3.0-3.2V. These chipsets, while cheaper, often fall short in terms of efficiency, brightness, and longevity. They are favored by budget-conscious manufacturers aiming to reduce costs, but they come with significant trade-offs in quality and reliability. These issues can lead to signs that are dimmer, more prone to failure, and less durable over time.
Why LUMINEX™ Chooses the Sanan 2835 LED Chipset
The Sanan 2835 LED Chipset offers several key advantages over the more commonly used 3.0-3.2V chipset:
Efficiency and Brightness: The Sanan 2835 Chipset is known for its high efficiency and brightness. It produces 20% more light while drawing less wattage compared to the 5050 SMD, a common alternative. This efficiency is crucial for applications where power consumption and light output are critical factors.
Power Consumption: The 2835 SMD pulls only 0.2W per chip, which is less than the 0.24W pulled by the 5050 SMD. This lower power consumption can lead to significant energy savings, especially in large-scale installations.
Flexibility and Versatility: The 2835 Chipset can be mounted with up to 120 LEDs per meter, offering higher luminosity options (up to 2600 lumens per meter) without a significant increase in power consumption. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from ambient lighting to task lighting.
Heat Management: The smaller size of the 2835 SMD means it doesn’t get as hot as larger chips, which can improve its lifespan and reliability. Lower operating temperatures are beneficial for maintaining the longevity and performance of LED lights.
Lifespan: The Sanan 2835 Chipset has a longer lifespan, ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 hours, significantly outlasting the 10,000-hour lifespan of the Sanan 3.0-3.2V Chipset.

By choosing the Sanan 2835 LED Chipset, we ensure that our LUMINEX™ Neon Technology delivers unmatched brightness, superior efficiency, and long-lasting durability. We understand that our customers demand the best, and that’s exactly what we strive to provide.
The Risks of Inferior Chipsets
Using inferior chipsets like the Sanan 3.0-3.2V can result in several issues, including:
Lower Brightness: Signs using these chipsets often appear dimmer, which can reduce visibility and impact, especially in outdoor settings.
Shorter Lifespan: These chipsets are more prone to overheating and failure, leading to a shorter overall lifespan for the sign.
Inconsistent Performance: Lower-quality chipsets can lead to inconsistent light output, with hotspots and uneven brightness that detract from the sign’s appearance.
Higher Maintenance Costs: Signs that fail prematurely or require frequent repairs can end up costing more in the long run, negating any initial savings from choosing a cheaper product.
