How to Quote Custom Digital Neon Flex: Confirm Color, Voltage and Control
Need a color-changing storefront outline or an animated line of light? Start with the route and finished length of each run, then choose color, power and control. The L-N1306 page lists options, but not every combination is implied; get one confirmed configuration before pricing.
30-second selection
- Choose the effect: State continuous color or animated pixels, viewing direction and every finished run length; these define the product and control needs.
- Freeze the combination: The L-N1306 page lists a 13 x 6 mm profile with 180-degree lighting plus RGB/RGBW, DC5/12/24V, IP66/IP67, pixel-pitch and DMX/Art-Net options. Ask for one confirmed SKU matrix.
- Stop before ordering: Without the exact voltage, W/m, pixel or cut unit, wiring and selected protection build, do not finalize the power supply, controller or production quantity.
Have a line drawing? Send the individual run lengths, color effect and controller model first; LIKELIGHT can use them to confirm a quoteable configuration and sample.
Describe the light you need to see
Start with the visible result: one steady color, RGB color changes, or an animation moving along the outline. The L-N1306 page lists a 13 x 6 mm profile, 180-degree lighting, RGB/RGBW and addressable-control options.
Mark viewing direction, route and each finished run on the drawing. Then decide whether white matters and whether pixels must animate independently. Do not start with a chip name and work backward to the application.
Turn page options into a confirmed SKU
The page lists color, LED package, voltage, protection, length, pixel pitch and control, but does not publish a complete matrix of compatible SKUs. Treat them as option fields, not as a promise that every combination is available.
Record the profile, RGB or RGBW, LED option, DC voltage, pixel/cut unit, protocol, IP option, run length and cable exit. Ask the supplier to return one exact part number, not only a note that the product is customizable.
Lock voltage with the feed plan
DC5V, DC12V and DC24V are listed as options, but the page does not give W/m for the selected build. Voltage affects feed spacing and cable current, so total metres alone cannot size the supply.
Draw the supply points, run lengths and cable routes first. Size the supply and injection points only after the quoted build returns W/m and a supported feed arrangement. Do not borrow the wattage of another voltage variant.
Specify protocol, pitch and finished lengths separately
DMX/Art-Net are listed, but the page does not state pixels per metre, channels per pixel, controller model or which combinations ship together. A protocol name does not define the product-side driver and wiring.
Send the existing controller/software, required effect, run starts/ends and target pixel pitch. Request the protocol, pinout, data direction, pixel/cut unit and inter-run diagram in writing; change the configuration before quoting if they do not match.
Turn the total length into a quote-ready run schedule
Keep three finished pieces in the quote and show each start, end, cable exit and control connection. Freeze the supply, controller and BOM only after the chosen build's power, pixel/cut unit and connectors are confirmed.
Assume a sign has three separate outline runs: 2.4 m, 1.8 m and 3.2 m. They total 7.4 m. These are illustrative dimensions, not an L-N1306 maximum length or cut specification.
Hypothetical storefront outline: total metres help budget; separate runs define the order

1. Effect
Field
Continuous line or pixel animation; viewing direction; RGB/RGBW.Procurement action
Decide whether a white channel and per-pixel control are actually needed. -
2. Runs
Field
2.4 m + 1.8 m + 3.2 m = 7.4 m (hypothetical).Procurement action
Quote three separate pieces; do not treat the total as one continuous strip. -
3. Power
Field
Select a DC voltage and show each feed point; request W/m for that build.Procurement action
Do not size the supply until power and feed limits are confirmed. -
4. Control
Field
Name the existing controller/protocol and request pixel pitch and wiring.Procurement action
Verify controller compatibility against the exact part number. -
5. Environment
Field
Indoor/outdoor exposure, connector locations and requested IP option.Procurement action
Confirm end construction; do not transfer a bare-light rating to the full system.
Choose the next action
| Project condition | Procurement action |
|---|---|
| Adjustable color, no independent animation | Request RGB/RGBW variants and confirm which control mode produces the intended effect. |
| Independent white or white scenes matter | Verify RGBW channel definitions and mapping for the intended controller. |
| The outline needs pixel or segment animation | Confirm pitch, data protocol, controller, and per-run address/count first. |
| Long wiring runs or fixed supply locations | Compare DC5/12/24V builds only with their own W/m and feed plan. |
| Rain or wash-down can reach the installation | Confirm the exact IP build, connectors, end caps and installed protection. |
| The route includes a tight turn, joint or visible end | Test a representative sample on the real route before freezing length and BOM. |
When is L-N1306 a useful project candidate?
LIKELIGHT L-N1306 is a candidate when a project calls for a 13 x 6 mm, 180-degree digital neon profile. Its page lists RGB/RGBW, three DC-voltage options, IP66/IP67, custom length/pixel pitch and DMX/Art-Net options.
It fits a procurement workflow that first freezes the configuration, then verifies the exact part number and sample. If the project needs a confirmed W/m, minimum bend radius, pixel count or end rating now, the public page does not settle those values; request the build drawing and data sheet first.
| Field | Published information |
|---|---|
| Model/profile | L-N1306; 13 x 6 mm |
| Lighting | Page states 180-degree full lighting |
| Color/LED options | RGB/RGBW; SMD2835/3535/5050 (combinations to confirm) |
| Voltage/environment options | DC5/12/24V; IP66/IP67 (exact build to confirm) |
| Custom/control | Page lists custom length, pixel pitch and DMX/Art-Net options |
| Confirm by part number | W/m, cut unit, pixel count, wiring, bend conditions and end construction |
Approve the full build with a representative sample
The page lists IP66/IP67 options and customizable length/pitch, while the selected build's protection details, end connections and bend conditions must be confirmed with that configuration.
Use a representative sample containing a real corner, end and planned joint. Check visual continuity, route, control and wiring. For outdoor work, verify the assembled light, connector and end cap together; a page option is not system acceptance.
Quotation inputs
- 1. Route and finished lengthsSend CAD or dimensions with each length, start/end, corner and cable exit; this defines the finished-piece schedule.
- 2. Configuration matrixRequest the exact SKU and confirmed color, LED, voltage, pixel pitch, protocol and IP combination.
- 3. Drawing and BOMAsk for the section/dimensional drawing, pinout/wiring, run connections and complete bill of materials.
- 4. System quotationInclude light, power supply, controller, connectors/end caps, mounting parts, spares and lead time; separate confirmed from pending items.
- 5. Sample acceptanceAgree color/animation, run lengths, connection, installation route and environment checks before requesting a representative sample.
This keeps procurement, design and installation on one configuration revision so the controller, power system and light are not ordered against different assumptions.
FAQ
Does listing DMX/Art-Net mean my controller will work?
No. The protocol names alone do not confirm the driver, pixel pitch, wiring or controller version. Use the wiring diagram and written compatibility confirmation for the exact SKU.
Can I order the total length and cut it on site?
Do not assume so. The page does not state the selected build's cut unit. Submit finished run lengths and confirm its cut/connection specification before ordering.
Does an IP67 option make the connected system IP67?
That cannot be inferred. Confirm the light build, connectors, end caps and installed conditions together.
