- Runs on the Lotus Lantern app
- 50ft
- Pulses to music from its own mic
Flexible RGB neon that bends into letters, waves and outlines, clips to the wall and glows in step with the room's music, sold in three lengths for a desk, a bedroom or a whole game room.
AILBTON sells its neon in three lengths, and that choice shapes the whole project. Twenty feet frames a desk and a monitor wall; fifty feet runs around a bedroom ceiling with enough left to write a word; sixty feet stretches across a game room or a basement bar. Every length carries the same Lotus Lantern controller, remote and built-in microphone.
Neon strip turns a line of LEDs into one smooth stroke of light. A diffused tube hides the individual chips, so the glow looks painted on the wall rather than dotted. In RGB, the whole length takes one colour at a time: electric blue behind a gaming chair, hot pink over a bar shelf, soft white for a calm evening.
Where each length tends to land:
Gamers and streamers are the natural crowd. A single steady colour lights a face evenly on camera and makes a room look finished in the background of a stream. Switch to music mode after the session and the same wall throws a party.
Measure the design before choosing. It is easier to hide a little spare neon than to stretch a run that comes up a foot short, and a cut piece beyond the controller stays dark. Remember the lead from the outlet too: the neon has to travel from the plug to where the design starts, and that stretch counts.

This neon mounts with fixing clips, not tape, and AILBTON is clear that there is no self-adhesive back. That sounds like a drawback until the first sign goes up: clips hold tight curves exactly where they belong, and the neon does not creep off a warm wall in summer.
Joined script is easier than separate block letters, because one continuous run can write a whole word without cutting. Simple shapes such as a wave, a lightning bolt or a heart look sharp even for a first attempt. For letters that do not connect, the neon can travel behind a board or a canvas between them.
Many makers mount the design on a sheet of acrylic or plywood first, then hang the board. That keeps holes out of the wall and turns the sign into something that can move house.
Lotus Lantern does more than pick colours. Its timer switch can bring the neon on at a set time, and AILBTON pitches it as a partner to the morning alarm: the room fills with light as the phone rings. At night the same timer turns the glow off after you have fallen asleep.
The rest of the app covers the party side:
The microphone listens to the room, not the phone, so it follows a TV, a speaker or a live guitar alike. Bass-heavy music drives the biggest changes, and a quiet conversation leaves the neon more settled.
The remote covers everyone without the app. Guests can change the colour or the mode without a phone, and it keeps working when the app is closed. Pair the two and the neon runs as a quiet sunrise light on weekdays and a party wall at weekends. Nothing needs re-plugging between the two.
The Lotus Lantern guide shows where each of these settings lives.
Three neon ropes share Lotus Lantern with this one, and each fits a different job. AILBTON's strength is choice of length plus clip mounting that holds a DIY sign in shape. The others pull in different directions.
Pick this IP67 strip when the project is a sign, a desk outline or a single room, and the length needs to match closely. The 20ft roll avoids wasted neon on small designs, and the 60ft roll saves joining two short runs. Look to SILFU for a spec-heavy single 50ft run, and to FBZ when the plan leaves the house.
A few checks before ordering:
Get those right and a wall of words or waves is an evening's work away.
Gift idea for a teenager's room: the 20ft roll, a sheet of plywood and their name in joined-up script. It makes a weekend project, and the result glows in whatever colour they pick that week.
No. It mounts with fixing clips only, which hold curves and letters firmly in place.
20ft for a desk, mirror or short word; 50ft for a bedroom perimeter or a feature wall; 60ft for a large room or a covered patio. Measure the design first.
The neon is IP67, so it copes with rain on a covered patio. The controller is not waterproof and must stay dry.
Yes. Set the timer switch in Lotus Lantern to turn the neon on with your alarm.
