❓ Top 10 FAQs About Silicone Neon Lights – Answered

A clear and helpful guide for buyers, DIYers, and professionals.

Chronos Flexible Silicone Neon Lights are a smart choice for anyone who wants modern, long-lasting, and versatile lighting. But before or after your purchase, it’s normal to have questions about usage, installation, safety, and more.

Here are the top 10 frequently asked questions—answered in plain, helpful language.

✅ 1. Can I cut these lights to fit a specific length?

Yes.
All Chronos neon lights come with pre-marked cutting points. Cut only at these points to avoid damaging the strip. After cutting, make sure to reseal the end with a proper cap and silicone glue to maintain the IP65 waterproof rating.

💡 Tip: Ask our support for a custom connector kit if you’re planning multiple cuts.

✅ 2. Are these lights waterproof? Can I use them outside?

Yes – IP65 rated.
Chronos Neon Lights are IP65 water- and dust-resistant, which means they are safe for outdoor use like building facades, balconies, or signage. Just make sure:

• The connectors are sealed properly
  
  

• Power supplies are protected in a dry area
  
  

✅ 3. What’s the difference between Front Bend and Side Bend?

• Front Bend: Bends up/down (ideal for outlining, under shelves, etc.)
  
  

• Side Bend: Bends left/right (great for curved signage and 3D designs)
  
  

Choosing the right bend type ensures a smooth install and clean curves.

✅ 4. What power supply do I need?

Chronos Neon Lights operate on 24V DC.
Choose a regulated 24V adapter with enough wattage. For example:

• 5M strip consuming 10W/m = 50W total → Use a 60W adapter (or higher)
  
  

Overloading or using incorrect voltage can damage the strip.

✅ 5. Can I dim or control the lights?

Yes.
You can use:

• 24V dimmable drivers
  
  

• Smart controllers (for Alexa/Google Home)
  
  

• Remote dimmers
  
  

Make sure your controller matches the wattage and voltage of your strip.

✅ 6. Are these lights safe to touch? Do they get hot?

Yes, they're low voltage and safe to touch.
They run cool even after hours of use. However, always install them with good ventilation and don’t wrap them tightly in insulation or fabric.

✅ 7. How long do these lights last?

Chronos lights are rated for 30,000–50,000 hours, which means:

• 10+ years with average daily use
  
  

• Longer life if used with timers or dimmers
  
  

Proper installation and maintenance can greatly extend lifespan.

✅ 8. Can I connect multiple strips together?

Yes, up to a limit.
You can connect strips using Chronos connectors or soldering. However:

• Keep total length per power input under 10 meters to avoid voltage drop
  
  

• Use an amplifier or secondary power input for longer runs
  
  

✅ 9. Can I use these lights for signage or letters?

Absolutely.
Chronos Side Bend and narrow-width strips like 4x10mm or 6x13mm are perfect for:

• Custom logos
  
  

• Acrylic letters
  
  

• Signboards
  
  

• Decorative branding
  
  

Just make sure your design accommodates the bend radius of the strip.

✅ 10. What if a part stops working? Can I fix it?

Yes.

• You can cut out the damaged section and reconnect
  
  

• Replace a faulty power supply or connector
