Domus PLEO-9.6W Neon Side 24V IP67 CRI90 1m

The Domus PLEO-9.6 Neon Side is a 24 V side-emitting LED neon flex — 9.6 W per metre, CRI90, IP67, sold in 1 m, in 3000, 4000 or 5000 K.

⭐⭐ You can only cut it every 50 mm — and here is why

• ⭐ Domus publishes two figures for this range that most flex listings omit: 140 SMD LEDs per metre, and that it can be cut in 50 mm increments.
• ⭐ Those two numbers explain each other. ⭐ 140 LEDs per metre is one every 7.14 mm. ⭐ 50 mm divided by 7.14 is exactly 7 — ⭐ so a cut segment is a block of SEVEN LEDs wired in series, and 50 mm is where that block ends. ⭐ Cutting anywhere else would sever a series string and kill the segment.
• ⭐ THE PRACTICAL CONSEQUENCE: your run rounds to the nearest 50 mm. ⭐ A 2.375 m cove becomes 2.35 or 2.40 m. ⚠ In a cove nobody notices. ⛔ In formed lettering, a shopfront reveal or anything butting into a return, a 25 mm shortfall is visible — ⭐ so set out to a multiple of 50 from the start.
• ⭐ And check the cut MARKS before ordering length. ⚠ The first cut point is not necessarily at 0 mm from the end, ⭐ so a nominal 2.40 m piece may carry a short unlit tail. ⭐ On a 1 m sample you can see exactly where they fall.

⭐ A correction worth making — the density figure does exist

⚠ Across the Domus PROFILE listings we found no LED density guidance at all, ⭐ which matters there because profile depth and LED spacing together decide whether a strip reads as a line or a row of dots. ⭐ That gap is real on the profiles. ⭐ But it is NOT true of the catalogue: this range publishes 140 SMD LEDs per metre outright. ⭐ So if you are pairing a bare strip to a profile, the figure to ask for exists somewhere in the range — ⭐ it simply is not on the profile page where you need it.

⭐ 9.6 W — the middle of three, and what it buys

⭐ Only the 7.2 publishes a run limit — 20 m from one end, 40 m fed from both. ⭐ Since voltage drop is driven by current, and 9.6 W/m draws a third more than 7.2, this will carry meaningfully less than 20 m — ⚠ an inference, not a figure. ⭐ Ask us before laying out anything over about 12 m.

⭐ Side view — for a curve drawn on a flat plane

⭐ Side-emitting flex fires from its EDGE, so the direction it needs to bend is the direction it bends easily. ⚠ A top-view flex forced round a curve drawn on a floor or a wall twists, and the emitting face rolls over. ⭐ Side view is the answer for signage, lettering, outlines and vertical face washing. ⛔ Not for a ceiling cove — ⚠ there it fires at the wall behind.

Where it works

• ⭐ Signage, lettering and outlines — ⭐ side emission follows a flat curve.
• Vertical face washing.
• ⭐ As a sample — ⭐ 1 m shows you the cut marks.
• ⛔ Not in a ceiling cove — ⚠ take top view.
• ⛔ Not set out to a non-multiple of 50 mm.

Specifying it

Side-emitting 24 V DC LED neon flex, 1 m. 9.6 W per metre. 140 SMD LEDs per metre. Cut in 50 mm increments. CRI90. 3000 / 4000 / 5000 K. IP67. Polyurethane enclosure, mounting clips included. ⭐⭐ YOU CAN ONLY CUT IT EVERY 50 mm, AND THE TWO PUBLISHED FIGURES EXPLAIN EACH OTHER: 140 LEDs per metre is one every 7.14 mm, and 50 ÷ 7.14 = 7 — so a cut segment is a block of SEVEN LEDs in series, and 50 mm is where that block ends. ⭐ YOUR RUN THEREFORE ROUNDS TO THE NEAREST 50 mm. In a cove nobody notices; in formed lettering or a shopfront reveal a 25 mm shortfall is visible. ⭐ Set out to a multiple of 50 from the start.
