What Are the Components of Neon Light Mirror?

It is important to ensure that the materials which are used to make neon light mirror are of high-quality to enhance their efficiency. Materials that make up neon light mirrors include the following.

Silicon

It is categorized into inferior silicone which is a type that has been recycled using a lot of silica in the process of mixing, and high-quality silicone

Stock silicone tends to yellow and self-sulfurization of the neon pink mirror. When too much silica is added, the cost may reduce but the transparency, color, tensile strength, and general appearance of the infinity mirror log will be poor.

The quality of the neon light mirror will therefore depend on whether the raw materials of the manufacturer contain a backlog of silicone during the process of mixing. It will also depend on whether there are enough machines for timely production and if the gluers are well experienced, sophisticated, and possess up-to-date measuring tools.

LED Chips

Neon mirror light should be made of high-quality LED chips which can be ascertained by looking at their luminous efficacy, presence of deadlights, and light decay. The raw materials for LED chips are categorized in different groups, entail different packaging technology from several packaging companies and packaging materials like gold wire and glue.

To determine whether neon infinity mirror rope has a dark area, it is checked during production and they requires professionals for maintenance. Low luminous efficiency in LED chips tends to lead to the emission of uneven light by the mirror neon and if brightness is not sufficient, the decorative effect can be affected.

High-quality LED chips eliminate large light decay after a short period as this may lead to faster decaying of brightness.

FPC Board

It is categorized into two types that are rolled copper and copper-clad. Rolled copper tends to be connected closely to the FPC board and the FPC as a whole in a way that it can be easily bent without straining.

Copper-clad copper foil on the other hand is protruding and it can be seen from the connection between the FPC board and the pad.

Resistors

Resistors for mirror neon lights can be tested using a multimeter before being soldered to ensure that they are in perfect condition. They have an impact on the voltage and current of the strip of neon mirror light which affects its lifespan and brightness.

End Caps

Custom infinity mirror which is used outdoors requires to be plugged using an end cap and incorporated with additional waterproof elements. Neon light mirrors that are used indoors, may or may not have an end cap.

End caps used in making mirror neon with lights have a flat surface and are environmentally friendly.

Electronic Connecting Wires

A pink neon mirror possesses electronic connecting wires that use transparent gold and silver wire. Those mirror neon lights which are used outdoors need to be made waterproof at the soldering place.

Acrylic Board and Other Substrates

It possesses a three-dimensional sense of strong and high hardness even when exposed to sunlight, rain, and other weather elements, it will still function well. It is perfect for the ductility of light both during the day and at night which makes neon mirror light suitable for illumination in businesses.

Acrylic baseboard for the neon mirror is available in 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm thicknesses which are suited for different functions. It is important to note that the thicker the acrylic sheet, the better the strength of your mirror with neon lights.

High-quality acrylic is determined by looking at its transparency, thickness, and hardness. Acrylic boards that are not hard enough lack resistance to extreme weather elements and are not temperature resistant.

Dimmers and Controllers

Mirror with neon light usually tends to possess Frontier Phase-Cut (FPC) dimming mode or thyristor dimming. Dimmers have high precision, are small in size, have high efficiency, and have an easy remote control.

Single color remote control tends to be divided into high power and low power color remote control dimming. The colorful remote control is further categorized into WIFI control and Bluetooth control.

The remote controller for the 3D infinity mirror is categorized into IR controller and RF wireless controller. IR controllers can operate your neon light mirror within a distance of 6 meters and it has to be facing the receiver with no obstructions in the middle.

RF controller on the other hand does not have a limited direction of operation as it can be operated up to a distance of 30 meters.

Signal Amplifiers

Neon mirrors require a signal amplifier to amplify the signal from the controller and then direct it to the entire neon sign to sufficiently illuminate it. When a neon light mirror lacks a signal amplifier, it will be dimmed and thud will lack the brightness level desired.

Power Supplies

Power supplies that are used in custom infinity mirror are either the 220V/110V high voltage converted to 12V/24V low voltage electricity. Power supplies contain certifications that you should consider and these include UL, CUL, TUV/CE, and SGS/SAA and these will guarantee quality.

Glue

Instant glue makes neon infinity mirrors to be fixed faster. It is also safe as it does not corrode or interact chemically with the acrylic backing of the mirror neon.

It is important to note that if low-quality glue is used, it may lead to temporary sticking and the tape may fall off after some time. This will cause the acrylic baseboard to harden, change color or corrode after some time.
