Neon.
A streak of light.

A flexible silicone tube that creates a perfectly uniform line—no dots, no outlines—along any curve. For columns, edges, contours, and anything else you want to draw with light.

A blue neon strip running the full height of a facade column

A line, as if drawn with a pencil

The silicone diffuses light along the entire length of the tube: you see a line, never the LEDs. It can be installed in a discreet channel or directly on the surface, and it rounds corners without breaking—even curves with a radius of just a few centimeters. It’s the tool for shaping a facade rather than highlighting it.

The same column in white: a warm white vertical line on a gray facade

White on Tuesday, colored on Saturday

The same light bulb emits a warm, architectural white light during the week and switches to blue, green, or a color gradient for an evening out, a game, or the holidays. It's all controlled through the app, along with the scenes and schedules for the rest of the house.

Floating concrete steps, each highlighted from below by a streak of blue light

Under the steps, along the ridges

Stair nosings, under floating slabs, around the edges of patios, along the tops of low walls: anywhere a line of light needs to be visible from the front and remain uniform. IP68-rated, low-voltage silicone-sealed—it stays outdoors year-round, whether under snow or in the sun.

Applications

Where Neon Makes a Difference.

Anywhere the line is viewed from the front and must remain perfect.

Columns and EdgesVertical lines, corners of buildings.

Door trimFrames, garages, entryways.

Steps and SlabsStair nosing, underside of slab.

Curves and ShapesArches, circles, lettering.

Signs and StorefrontsA store's neon sign, without the glass.

InteriorCornices, headboards, bars, home theaters.

Installation

How is it installed?

By a certified installer, in one day for most homes.

Sketch and mockup

A photo of the facade, a diagram of the areas to be lit, and a simulation to see the result before placing an order.

Channel or clips

A slim mounting channel or discreet clips screwed onto the surface. The tube slides into it and follows the curve without a profile or diffuser—it serves as both.

Cut and End Pieces

The tube is cut to length on site and sealed with end caps. 24-volt wiring to the controller.

Commissioning

Zones, scenes, and schedules configured in the app with you. You'll walk away with full control—whether in the cloud or on-premises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions We Get About the Neon.

All FAQs

Neon or COB: What's the difference?

Both form a continuous line. The COB is installed flat inside an aluminum profile, typically beneath a cornice; the neon is a flexible tube that is visible from the front, can be bent, and can be mounted on any surface. Cornice viewed from below: COB. Column, edge, step, curve: neon.

Can you tell during the day?

A thin white or gray tube runs along the surface, like a seam. On a dark column or edge, it stands out slightly more than a profile under a cornice—this is the trade-off for a line that’s visible from the front. The integrator chooses the color of the channel so that it blends in.

Does it turn yellow or break in the cold?

No. It's silicone, not PVC: it stays flexible at -30 °C, doesn't yellow in the sun, and doesn't crack in the cold. That's exactly why we don't use PVC neon lights outdoors in Quebec.

Can we make shapes and letters?

Yes—that's the traditional use of neon, especially in retail: arches, circles, logo outlines, and lettering. The radius of curvature is limited by the tube's cross-section; the integrator approves the design before placing the order.
