LED neon

A LED neon strip light is chosen first by its room: a pendant above a table, a wall light for a hallway, a floor lamp for a living room. This selection brings together mostly integrated LED and aluminium fixtures, often combined with fabric, all IP20, so reserved for dry interiors.

What is an LED neon strip light and what light does it give?

An LED neon strip light is a tube or light strip fixture whose integrated LEDs diffuse a continuous light, with no visible hot spot. Placed on the wall, it draws an arc above a console; suspended, it traces a line above a table. The listed powers range from 13 to 40 W, in warm white from 2700 to 3500 K.

Wall or pendant LED neon: what is the difference?

The wall model fixes at eye level and lights a passage: the Sylvene wall light measures 13 cm by 16.7 cm and works as a complement. The pendant hangs from the ceiling and lights a surface: the Gavina gold pendant, in curved tube, hangs down 140 cm. For the first use, see our selection of wall lights; for the second, all our light fixtures.

Warm white 2700 to 3500 K: what it changes in the evening

Below 2700 K, the light leans amber; above 4000 K, it cools the room and tires the eyes late in the evening. Between 2700 and 3500 K, the rendering stays warm without yellowing, which suits a living room as well as a dining room or an open kitchen.

How to choose an LED neon strip light by room: living room, dining room, kitchen?

Look first at the available height and the surface to light, not the raw power. A dining room needs a pendant 140 to 400 cm deep to cover the table; a hallway is fine with a 13 cm wall light. All references are IP20, so for dry interior rooms.

Which LED neon strip light for a 20 m2 living room?

For 20 m2, plan one main source and a secondary one. The Zorina pendant and its wavy strip, 180 cm deep, covers the sofa area, completed by a wall light above a console. To build the whole set, choosing your light fixture room by room helps keep a single family of finishes.

At what height should an LED neon strip light hang above a table?

In general, the bottom of the fixture sits between 75 and 85 cm above the tabletop, depending on the size of the guests. The pendants in this selection hang down 140 to 400 cm, which leaves room under a high ceiling. On a low ceiling, choose the shortest depth.

Powerful LED wall light: what power to light without glare?

A powerful wall light is not necessarily a power-hungry one: 13 W is enough for a hallway or a reading corner. The Sylvene wall light fixes to the wall with integrated LED; the Iria wall light with luminous sphere, in metal, iron and acrylic, works with a GU10 module and comes in 50 or 100 cm.

Modern LED wall light for a hallway

In a hallway, grazing light illuminates the passage without cluttering the floor. The Sylvene, gold in aluminium and fabric, at 13 W, is enough to cover a few metres of circulation. To widen the lit area, you can complete it with an LED wall light placed opposite.

At what height should a wall light be placed in a living room?

Allow around 1.60 to 1.80 m from the floor, at seated eye level, to light without glare. A sphere wall light like the Iria, placed higher near a light wall, bounces light back into the room. The LED neon wall light pairs well with a pendant already in place.

Pendant, LED chandelier or LED ceiling light: which shape to choose?

The difference lies in the height: what hangs from the ceiling lights a precise surface, what stays flush with the ceiling lights the whole room. This selection brings ceiling lighting through pendants in curved tube, wavy strip or arc.

Living room LED chandelier or tube pendant: what to choose?

A chandelier stands out as the centrepiece in a large living room; a tube pendant does the same job above a table, with a more discreet line. The Uvello arc pendant, 400 cm deep, suits a large table. The Jovita black and gold pendant, at 140 cm, targets a shorter table.

Modern LED ceiling light: when to prefer it?

When the ceiling height is low and nothing should hang into the field of view. This collection favours pendants: for a flush format, compare the families in the Designix lighting catalogue. The Zenica black pendant remains an arc pendant of 400 cm.

How to match a gold, black or black and gold LED neon strip light?

Gold dominates the selection, in aluminium and fabric: it warms a room with light walls and draws the line of light without hardening it. Matte black structures a dark room more, black and gold plays on the contrast between structure and light. Pink remains a one-off accent.

Gold neon and fabric: with which interior?

On white or beige walls, a gold fixture works like a graphic line. In a living room with light woodwork, the Gavina above the table and the Sylvene on the wall keep the same rendering, since the aluminium and fabric diffuse the same warm white light. See the LED neon wall lights to complete a pendant.

Matte black or black and gold: what rendering on the ceiling?

Black disappears against a dark background and stands out clearly on a light ceiling. The Zenica marks the space with a sharp arc; the Jovita brings a contrasting note, dark structure and warm luminous line. A fixture with a more understated rendering matches better with furniture that is already very colourful.

How to install and maintain an LED neon strip light?

Switch off the circuit breaker before any handling. The fixture connects to the existing light point, in place of the tube; connection to 230 V is a job for a qualified person. All models are IP20, so indoors, away from moisture.

How to fit an LED neon on an old support?

Remove the tube and its support, then fix the new fixture on the same electrical supply. Check the available depth before drilling: an arc fixture of 400 cm requires a high ceiling, whereas the Sylvene wall light only hangs down 16.7 cm.

How to maintain a gold or black LED fixture?

Dust dry, without abrasive product or damp sponge on the aluminium and fabric. A soft cloth is enough to restore the shine of the finish. The integrated LEDs cannot be replaced, which explains the 5-year warranty announced on most of the selection. The Dionysia floor lamp is cleaned the same way.

What mistakes to avoid with LED ceiling lighting?

Three mistakes come up again and again: choosing the power before measuring the room, hanging too low above a table, and forgetting that IP20 excludes damp rooms. Each one can be corrected before ordering.

Too many watts for a small room

30 or 40 W in an already lit room creates a harsh light point. Start from the use: 13 W for a hallway, 21 W for a table, 40 W for a large volume. Instead, add a secondary source from our selection of light fixtures.

Hanging too low: the height to respect

In general, the bottom of the fixture sits between 75 and 85 cm above the tabletop. A depth of 400 cm under a low ceiling hangs too close to faces: measure the available height before choosing a long arc, and prefer a 140 or 180 cm tube.

Delivery, returns and payment: what Designix offers

The announced warranty ranges from 2 to 5 years depending on the model, which covers the electronics of the integrated LEDs. Compare the depths and sockets before deciding: browse an LED wall light for one wall, or the Designix light fixtures to equip a whole room.
