Theres really no comparison between the durable, long life Tetra Contour LED Lighting System and traditional neon. Tetra Contour is a 2 part system comprised of a flexible LED light engine and a rigid light guide that can be heat formed and shaped designed to resemble exposed neon in signage, and border lighting applications. It provides a bright, uniform appearance and a wide viewing angle. For many retailers, restaurants, hotels and other building owners using LED solutions in signage, the use of the cool to the touch Tetra Contour is a natural extension of energy initiatives aimed at retiring less efficient, high voltage neon systems. Plus, the low voltage Tetra Contour is up to 40 percent more energy efficient than neon.
