Company Overview Neo-Neon lighting can be seen enhancing the visual lives of millions of people around the world for the past 33 years. Led by Mr. Ben Fan, recipient of numerous industrialist and entrepreneurial acclaims and awards; Neo-Neon LED Lighting International Ltd, a subsidiary of Neo-Neon Holdings Ltd. Company (HKEX: 1868 & TDR: 911868) was the first to market with a complete range of SSL White LED based General and Commercial and Consumer Retail DIY products. Due to tremendous advancements in technology, steadfast commitment to energy saving technologies, vertical integration model, the vision and focus of our company’s chairman and directors, Neo-Neon, the world’s largest traditional and LED decorative lighting manufacturer has emerged as a front runner in the white LED SSL manufacturing. Mr. Ben Fan, Chairman quoted recently “My vision of today made years ago has become the reality. There is no single greater opportunity that I can think of in our present day that offers such potential for profitability and global change than White Solid State Lighting. We have no choice but to embrace this and work with all our efforts to realize this potential for our company, our shareholders, and our employees and their families.” The Industrialist visionary who broke the price barriers and opened the market for decorative lighting is applying the same strategies to forge Neo-Neon forward to formidable heights. Neo-Neon is the largest vertically integrated LED Lighting manufacturer of its kind globally which is one of the key factors in the rise of Neo-Neon to its current 1

leadership role. Neo-Neon International Ltd., founded in Taiwan in 1978, is one of the largest seasonal decorative lighting suppliers to the world. In 1989, NeoNeon moved its production force to He Shan, Guangdong Province on the Chinese mainland. The move enabled Neo-Neon to control production costs much more effectively by supplying parts, components and even packaging materials through its own subsidiaries, making the factories >95% self-reliant. Neo-Neon manufactures its own chips, packages, encapsulates, and productizes in HeShan City, P.R. China. With over 900,000M2 of production facilities to include our own chip manufacturing plant with the latest state-of-the-art MOCVD and chip processing equipment, Neo-Neon is poised to provide the market with the right products at the right price first. While Neo-Neon’s initial focus was on white SSL General and Commercial Lighting, recent strategic moves has produced a new range of consumer retail and DIY white SSL products to include the Cerenity Series which is a new range of Ceramic based SSL “small package” SMD powered direct replacement bulbs. The Cerenity Series with small package SMD LEDs delivers equal if not greater lumens, tighter binning capabilities, and higher yields. Ceramic materials are by far the most efficient form of thermal management of LEDs however Neo-Neon is currently integrating the same LEDs into its latest series of aluminum thermal managed bulbs as well. 2

That includes complicated installation, fragile, potential shock hazards, high maintenance cost, high power consumption, and are typically ruined in severe weather. Manufacturers keep on seeking new alternatives but none of them have been able to solve these weaknesses. At the beginning of this century Neo-Neon, the global leader in modern linear lighting solutions, invested in the research and development of a revolutionary product called LED Neon Flex™. Utilizing advanced LED technology and material processing techniques, LED Neon Flex™ compared to glass Neon visually however LED Neon Flex™ is not ridged. LED Neo- Flex can be cut with standard tools and bent by hand to form. Installation can be completed in minutes and most importantly, it gives off no hot spots. LED Neon-Flex™ is waterproof and utilizes standard AC or DC voltages which make the product safer than glass neon. LED Neo-Flex is not breakable and is virtually indestructible. Neo-Neon has incorporated the very latest encapsulated high graded LED’s in a new and unique PVC jacket housing which achieves equal brightness and visual intensity to that of glass neon. Now there is truly a glass neon replacement which is the “new and improved” LED Neon Flex ™ Professional. Honorably and justifiably Neo-Neon has been awarded and holds an invention patent in China and holds a portfolio of worldwide patents for the LED Neon Flex™. This invention patent strengthens the promoting and distributing LED Neon Flex™ by our global partners who continue to share in this products success and profitability. Neo-Neon is now offering the following levels of patented LED Neon Flex™.

LED Neon Flex Plus achieves an ultra high lumens efficacy. LED NeonFlex™ Plus’s increased lumens stemmed from the application of high quality, high brightness encapsulated DIP LEDs coupled with an enhanced PVC mixture used in the main housing extrusion process with a higher density of LEDs per cut unit. This optical gain enhancing PVC increases homogenization of the light effect which translates the maximum amount

lumens efficacy of 36.1Lm/W and 63Lm/Ft. LED Neon Flex Plus assuredly has expanded the proliferation of Neo-Neon’s LED Neon- Flex™ as a direct replacement to traditional glass Neon. LED Neon-Flex™ Plus is only a bit higher in price, but it has better brightness to meet high luminous flux requirements for specific market LED Neon-Flex™ Plus is available in Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, and White colors. 5

Easy for installation & Low cost for transportation: our SMD3528 LED Neon Flex has very small size and light body, so it’s easy for installation and transportation, which can save you a lot of cost. 6. Long life: With the light source of SMD3528 LED which does better in heatdispel, our SMD3528 LED Neon Flex can enjoy a 0longer lifetime and lower maintainance cost.

Safety tips A. Read the installation manual first, and keep it as your reference. B. Only cut the neon flex at the cut mark. C. When connecting it with the pins, bend the neon flex first then cut off the copper wires which exceed the cross section. D. Do not operate the product under higher voltage than its rating voltage, otherwise the LED will be burned-out. E. When connection, pay attention to the positive and negative pole. F. Check the product timely, stop using it when the insulating material has been destroyed. G. Do not put it into any liquid. H. Take care of the insulating material and do not destroy it. I. Do not bend the light body continuously, the minimum radius for bend should be more than 4CM. J. Do not switch on the power when the products is still packed on the reel. K. We suggest the molded connector when the neon flex is for outdoor use. If use with easy splice connector, make sure all the connectors be protected by waterproof shrink tube.

STEP 3 - PREPARE THE LED NEON

+-

Prepare the LED Neon Flex by starting to unroll the LED from the roll, the LED Neon Flex is sold by the meter or in 50 meters rolls.

LED Neon Flex is a hardy product but its not a toy, TAKE DUE CARE The LED Neon it may look and feel like a normal garden hose, but remember it is full of small wires and technical circuitry, take due care. Do not bend backwards and forwards for example. The LED Neon gains full strength when it is laid into the aluminum channel.

STEP 6 - WORK OUT YOUR LED NEON FLEX CABLE OPTIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS Please note polarity is important with LED, please see the below diagrams. Use cables and plugs supplied by Firefly or if you are making up your own runs of cable you will require two core low voltage cable to run from the LED Driver to the LED Neon Flex . Do not run more than 15 meters of low volt cable from the transformer to the LED Neon due to voltage drop out. Use only thick low voltage cable as supplied by Firefly LIghting or the highest quality low voltage garden lighting cable to prevent voltage drop out.

POLARITY IS IMPORTANT WITH LED

S TEP 4 CUTTING THE LED NEON

LED NEON FLEX INTERNAL CABLE CONFIGURATIONS

Only cut the LED Neon Flex on cutting marks (small lines printed on LED). Use sharp electricians scissors, Stanley knife or similar to cleanly cut LED Neon.

Note the cables in the LED Neon run down one side of the LED Neon.

CUTTING LINES

LED NEON FLEX

This helps to keep polarity during installation there are plugs for what ever side of the LED Neon you wish to power up. Note: You only need to connect one end of the LED Neon to power
