If you are not a fan of coro arches, and prefer a neon or more solid look then these are the solution. The tube is 1.8mtrs long, which will give you a perfect 4ft arch. We get asked a lot "how many pixels are in these?" - well the answer is a little complicated.
There are 216 LEDs in this 1.8mtr length, but they are not individually addressable - to be able to get that lovely uniform glow, there are 6 leds, in groups of 3 back to back - so we would setup up xLights to be a simple, low density 36 pixels (20 per metre).
We do this as the tube is difficult to service - replace a led in this, you need to pull the insides out, and replace a small surface mount LED, and then rethread it through - so we opted to get more LEDs into a lower pixel count so we have a little more resilience in the design - we can take a few LED failures before the neon effect actually gets compromised - even at this density, they look awesome!!
The silicon tube is tough, very flexible. Whilst we don't recommend it, during our testing we have walked on it, jumped on it, tied it in knots and even parked a car on it (it continues to work despite having a car parked on it, but it is now a little more oval than round!). This makes this product perfect for pathways, drives etc. If you want to attach this to a surface we also sell these clips - https://buildalightshow.com/hardware-accessories/1818-clips-for-neon-tubesilly-tube.html
