Realistic neon-replica led lighting

Abstract

A realistic neon-replica LED lighting system replicates the iconic appearance of conventional neon lights without their inherent drawbacks. The system includes a flexible light engine, an optional flexible binder sleeve disposed over the flexible LED light engine, an optional flexible diffuser sleeve disposed over the optional flexible binder sleeve or the flexible LED light engine, and a rigid non-glass transparent tube disposed over the optional flexible diffuser sleeve, the optional flexible binder sleeve, and/or the flexible LED light engine. The rigid non-glass transparent tube is pliable capable of being shaped when heated to its glass transition temperature and returns to rigidity when cooled. The realistic neon-replica LED lighting system replicates the classic look of conventional neon light and is capable of repairing an existing conventional neon light installation in a seamless manner that can co-exist next to the functional portions of the conventional neon, such that it is virtually indistinguishable.
