What is Neon Sign

 

 

Neon signs are luminous glass tubes containing neon gas or other gases that emit colored light when an electric current passes through them. These signs are commonly used for advertising, display, and decorative purposes. Neon signs are known for their bright colors, high visibility, and distinctive glow, making them popular for businesses, bars, restaurants, and other establishments looking to attract attention.

 

Benefits of Neon Sign

 

Long Life
An average bulb’s life is about one year, but a properly made neon light lasts for years. The only thing that damages neon light is tripping in electricity.

 

Colorful
Another advantage of neon is that they can easily be formed into different colors. Basic color of neon is orange but other gases are used to make it in different colors.

 

Flexibility
The neon lights are made of flexible tubes with light pressure gas in them; one can shape the tube in any way they want.

 

Visibility

How Does Neon Light Work

Neon tubes have electrodes at both ends. They work using either DC current or AC current. But, if they use DC current, you can only see the glow around one of their electrodes. This is why most neon lights are powered using AC current.
When an electric current passes through the terminals, enough energy is accumulated to remove outer electrons from the atoms of the neon gas.
If insufficient voltage is applied, the neon light will not produce a glow because the kinetic energy produced will not be enough to make the electrons escape from the neon atoms.
The tube’s negative terminal attracts the positively-charged atoms while the positive terminal attracts the electrons that escaped from the atoms. This completes the light circuit.
While the atoms move around in the tube, they hit each other and transfer energy to other atoms. This releases a lot of heat.
The heat released causes the electrons to go back to their initial state by releasing energy (photons/light).

How are neon signs mounted

 

 

Trough-Style Lettering. A style often used for text, built-up trough style lettering is produced from wither Steel or Aluminium. The metalwork is often painted and then the neon is fittied into the trough which then brings the lettering to life.


The panel onto which the neon is mounted can be a simple shape (eg square or circular) or cut to the rough outline shape of your design. We can use clear or coloured acrylic. With this method the ‘workings’, ie the connecting cables and transformer, are visible so it has more of an industrial look.


Powdercoated panel. We produce a steel or aluminium panel which would only be approx.. 80mm deep, We then powdercoat (professionally paint) the box any standard RAL colour. The neon is mounted to the surface of the box and the transformer and most cables are hidden within the box. The main power supply cable can exit the rear of the box if it is being hard-wired or the power cable can exit from any side of the box if required. This is arguably the most sleek way to mount neon.


Vinyl-coated panel. The panel can be either acrylic or metal, and over this we fix a printed acrylic.


Mounting neon within an acrylic box will give protection to the neon. We add holes so you can fix the box to a wall or surface and also put ventilation holes on the top edge of the box. As with the panel method, the working s will be visible.

Neon Safety Guidelines

Before use, please inspect the Neon cord to ascertain if there are any breaks, damage, cracks or burns in the cord.
Do not plug the neonâ into a power source if there is damage to the cord.
Please note if there is a break in the neon casing, do not use the product and contact us immediately.
Neon signs should not be handled by children, installed within the reach of children or installed where children may become entangled by the cord i.e close to their beds/cots.
Supervision of children and pets when the sign is connected to a power source is recommended
Do not leave the neon turned on unsupervised. I.e. don’t forget to turn it off when you leave the premises.
Follow Electrical Safety Guidelines from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
We highly recommend using a power board with overload protection.
Neon signs are intended for indoor use only.
Neon Signs should not be handled whilst connected to power.
We do not recommend neon signs be installed near heat or where they will be subjected to water and or moist conditions.

 

Neon light maintenance tips
 

Cleaning dust and dirt
With prolonged usage, the neon light might accumulate a lot of dust and dirt, thereby reducing its brightness. To avoid such a situation, you should endeavor to clean regularly. You don't need any expensive products or items to perform this simple task. Take a soft brush or cloth to gently remove any dust or dirt from the light. Nevertheless, don't use any abrasive cleaner or harsh chemicals because they will damage the neon tube.

 

Replace bad transformer
Another important neon light maintenance tip to adhere to is to replace any bad transformer. These transformers are the key components of neon light. With frequent usage, the lifespan tends to drop, resulting in the light not lighting up properly. Furthermore, it can also lead to flickering. Once you notice any of the two issues mentioned beforehand, consider replacing the transformer if you don't want further damage to your light.

 

Look at the neon tubes
Occasionally, neon tubes may fail or sustain damage, resulting in a faint or non-existent light display on the sign. To prevent additional damage, it's critical to have any tubes that show signs of wear and tear replaced as soon as possible. A qualified neon sign repair service can also replace any broken tubes to keep your neon sign operating properly.

 

Keep away from harsh weather
Among the most important neon light maintenance tips to implement is to keep the light from harsh weather. Even though neon signs are made to endure harsh conditions, severe weather can nonetheless destroy them. Keeping your sign covered during storms and other extreme weather conditions is crucial to shielding it from the elements. The sign can also be coated with a protective layer to help shield it from UV radiation and other environmental elements.

 

Monitor the wiring
An important aspect of your neon sign's operation is the wiring. After usage, the wiring connections can become loose, leading to the sign flickering, or not coming up. Before calling a professional, check the wiring unit is secure and tight. Nevertheless, if you notice something different, consult a professional to resolve the issue.

 

Hire professionals
You should allow the professionals to handle your neon signs issues. While troubleshooting neon lights is a good option, it can lead to other issues that damage the complete system. To preserve the neon tubes and the sign's beauty, professionals possess the skill and know-how necessary for installation or replacement.

FAQ
 
 

Q: What are the limitations of real neon signs?

A: The main feedback we hear relates to the fragility of neon. It’s made from glass and is therefore fragile. Depending on your application, this may not be suitable if the neon is being located in areas within reach of customers such as Hotels or Nightclubs. It would be fine for Retail use if out of reach.

Q: Are Neon Signs sustainable and eco-friendly?

A: Neon signs are generally considered to be an eco-friendly and sustainable luminaire. They are manufactured from glass and inert gas (either neon or argon). They are designed to last for decades and are not considered a ‘disposable product’. The efficiency of a neon illumination depends no the colour, but can be considered to be similar to that of fluorescent lamps. Neon light efficiency can be up to 60 lumens per Watt. In comparison, fluorescent lamps emit 50-100 lumens per Watt, whilst traditional incandescent house bulbs produce only 10-20 lumens of light per Watt. All of a neon sign’s components are recyclable, but in the event of a failure of a specific component, it’s standard practice to repair or replace only specific items without having to dispose of the sign as a whole.

Q: What do Neon Signs look like when turned off?

A: It very much depends on the glass used. In general however, it’s fair to say that most lights look white when turned off, some still remain coloured when not illuminated and some may appear like clear glass.

Q: What do neon transformers look like and how do you choose which one to use?

A: All neon transformers operate at high voltage, typically 1,000V to 10,000V and as such we only use European CE-marked transformers, usually from Germany or Italy. We don’t use any neon transformers that have been made in the Far East.

Q: How do I get a neon sign installed directly to my wall?

A: If you would like the neon mounted directly to your wall then we’ll organize for the specialist installer to contact you prior to the install. They will discuss where exactly the neon will be located and also discuss the power supply and how you want to turn the neon on and off. They may need to come to put specialist cable sin place prior to the neon being installed or they may be able to do it all on the same day. They will also discuss where the transformer will be located. The final stage will be when they bring the mounting template and neon to your location during which they will fix the neon supports to your wall, clip the glass onto the supports, connect the glass together and then test the neon is working.

Q: How long does to take to make a neon sign?

A: All of our neon signs are made by hand in the UK. The process can take anywhere from 1-3 days for the actual work to be undertaken.

Q: How long will my neon sign be in operation?

A: Contrary to neon, which is heavier than glass, Neonzastudio light uses a technology that is both lighter and more resilient than the norm. You may anticipate your sign to endure for many years with proper care and maintenance because they have a 60,000+ hour lifespan.

Q: Are neon signs energy-intensive?

A: No, in fact, they are pretty effective. They actually consume 80% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs. They are therefore a fantastic option for both industrial and domestic uses.

Q: Do neon signs still exist today?

A: Absolutely! Sustainable LED neon lights are becoming more and more well-liked because of how long-lasting and energy-efficient they are. They provide all the advantages of conventional neon lighting without the high expense or negative effects on the environment.

Q: Are neon signs prone to breaking?

A: Our neon lights are far more robust and break-resistant because they aren’t composed of conventional glass. If they are dropped or pushed over, they won’t break or shatter, so you don’t need to be concerned.

Q: Can a fire start from a neon sign?

A: Our neon lights are LED and glass-free, making them far safer than conventional neon lights. They don’t heat up or catch fire as an old neon light sign does.

Q: How effective are LED neon signs?

A: The greatest neon sign you can buy is an LED neon. They are bright, durable, and effective. Unlike conventional neon signs, they don’t have any dangerous chemicals in them.

Q: What distinguishes LED signs from neon signs?

A: LEDs are used to create LED signs (light-emitting diodes). Gas-filled glass tubes are used to create neon signs.

Q: LEDs — can they be neon?

A: Yes, we employ LED neon lights to provide a better, safer, and more ecologically friendly neon light. A type of semiconductor called an LED (light-emitting diode) is used to create our LED neon sign. A transparent LED neon flex tubing surrounds them. The inert gas inside the tubing contributes to the sign’s brightness and visibility.

Q: What is the price of making a neon sign?

A: The size, complexity, and materials utilized will all affect how much it will cost to make a neon sign. A straightforward neon sign can cost anywhere between 800 and 50k if a material that is more economical is used in place of a glass tube.

Q: Can neon get wet?

A: Can Neon signs get wet? As with any electrical item, it is better to keep it away from water where possible. Neon is also high voltage which means that extra care should be taken around it.

Q: Do neon lights overheat?

A: The high voltage cables (HV cables) that connect the neon to the power supply or, in the case of larger signs, the individual glass elements to each other, can in very rare cases overheat and fail if used too intensively. However, this should not happen with proper use.

Q: Does neon have UV?

A: Neon bulbs that are true Ne bulbs (not just called neon because of their size), upon being energized with a high enough AC or DC voltage (about 90 volts), emit relatively long wavelength light (red-orange) and little, if any, ultraviolet light. Over time, UV light will bleach the object upon which the UV light falls.

Q: Do neon signs work in daylight?

A: Yes. A neon sign lights brightly enough during daylight hours to be visible. As with most lights, its glow will dim slightly during the day, but the text and colors will remain visible.

Q: Are neon lights AC or DC?

A: At each end of the tube, there is an electrode. A neon lamp can use either AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current), although the glow is only visible around one electrode when utilizing DC current. The majority of neon lights you see are powered by AC current.
