A stunning new LED fitting has been introduced to the UK by the Light Projects Group.

Manufactured by US-based company ILight, Plexineon is a revolutionary new fitting designed for architectural accent lighting, cove lighting or for signage.

Plexineon is unique as it comprises a solid plastic waveguide with the LEDs encapsulated within. This results in a bright uniform glow across the entire length.

In addition, compared with fiber-optics, the use of LED technology ensures that the brightness level is formidable. This means the fitting has a similar appearance to traditional neon lamps but at a fraction of the maintenance and running costs.

A further advantage of Plexineon is its IP rating of 66 making it very water-resistant.

The range is available in six vibrant colours: blue, teal, green, amber, orange and red as well as three temperatures of white.

In addition, the fitting is far more resilient than traditional neon being extremely durable and shatterproof. It also runs at a very cool temperature allowing it to be sited near to flammable materials or within touching range.

Plexineon is available in rigid or flexible forms allowing it to be post-formed on site to curve around existing signs. Technical literature about the new Plexineon range is available from Light Projects Group.
