    Hi Adrian,
    I have tied a few of these and had big problems with them, burning out and going on Fire !!, & fading,
    I ended up using Applelec’s LED Borderline, It’ worked well, The Colour is an Acrylic tube not a coloured Gel like most others so should last the test of time and easily fabricated

    Applelec always give you high quality… :thumbup2:

    Sloan do the coloured tube alternative to neon. I buy our LEDs via Paperlinx.
