combines the advantages of two different lighting technologies: The common florescent tube and the neon/argon discharge (aka neon) tube popular in the advertising industry.

The florescent tube offers is an excellent lighting technology for standard architectural applications. However, when one wants to move to custom lighting layouts one quickly reaches the limits of what is possible with florescent lamps. Available only in a limited selection of colors and shapes, the florescent tube is severely crippled when it comes to possible applications. In contrast, neon tubes come in a wide selection of colors and can be shaped into almost any form. However, neon is not bright enough to act as the sole light source to illuminate a room and also runs on high voltage, which can lead to difficulties when installing.

FlexFlour combines the best qualities of both technologies. Available in many colors (more than 50), it can be bent into any shape a glassblower can think of while providing a very high light outputlight output

all with a low voltage current.

As the market and technology leader, NP Lighting is also able to provide custom colors if requested by the client or required by the project.

, Flexfluor works with readily available 110V/220V electronic power supplies. FlexFluor is roughly 3-4 times brighter than a standard neon tubeneon tube
A neon lamp is a gas discharge lamp containing primarily neon gas at low pressure. The term is sometimes used for similar devices filled with other noble gases, usually to produce different colors.
and will permit the lighting designer to come up with highly flexible while economical lighting concepts as additional light sources do not need to be installed. FlexFluor lamps can achieve up to 20000 hours of operation while consuming very low amounts of energy. If FlexFluor would have been used on Cybertron, the war between Autobots and Decepticons could have been prevented.

Thanks to the specially developed manufacturing method, FlexFluor tubes achieve their high lift expectancy with only trace amounts of mercury. FlexFluor thus fulfills the highest ecological standards of production, operation, and disposal.
