Neon Signs
Neon lights consist of tubes or bulbs that glow when electricity passes through them. The result is a beautiful glow that radiates because of the neon gases within. These are frequently used to create dramatic lighting effects for advertising that are quite eye-catching. Using custom LED signs, neon strip lights, or neon lights for bedrooms is a great way to add a detailed effect.
The striking colours look outstanding against dark backgrounds and create exceptional luminosity. The arresting effect of the beautiful neon hues is highly sought after in displaying drawings, writings, and even pictures. Not just good for street lights and nightclubs, their distinct style has made them a favourite with homeowners as well. Safe and durable to use, they do not emit excessive heat and they can be easily installed in any space.
Application of Neon Lighting
Neon light signs have a multitude of applications. They are ideal for displaying attractive signs for bars and nightclubs and are perfect for decoration purposes both indoors and outdoors. They add a provocative uniqueness to the setting.
LED neon lights can serve as a night light for children’s rooms. Their easy installation and durability allow them to be used anywhere. As they are available in different colours, styles and sizes like pink neon signs, they can be installed anywhere.
Neon lights can be placed anywhere in the interior, in the kitchen, living room, rooms, bathroom.
They also serve as great backdrops for photoshoots and provide a funky and interesting touch. Custom neon signs are a great way to make unique ideas come to life.
LED Neon vs Neon Signs
The LED neon lights are different from the traditional neon lights and are quickly becoming popular for their low voltage, lower cost, durability, and safety. Though they are created to imitate the effect of real neon lighting, there are no inert gases present in them.
It is important to check in detail where the product is being manufactured to ensure its quality and safety. In addition to the traditional flashing or dimming effect, LED neon signs can be animated as well.
Mounting Neon Lights
Trough Style Lettering
This mounting style is usually for text. The lettering is made from weathered steel or aluminium and then painted. Neon wall lights or a neon lamp can fit through the trough which glows when lighted.
Acrylic Panel
This panel usually comes in a standard shape or can be cut to outline one. With this mounting option, neon light signs can have a more industrial appeal because of the visible connecting cables and transformer on the sides. They come in transparent or coloured forms and can be used as desired.
Powder-Coated Panel
This method provides the sleekest visuals because it hides all the connecting wires. The metalworks are powder-coated to a standard RAL colour and then mounted on the surface of a box.
Vinyl-Coated Panel
The panel can be metal or acrylic and is ideally suited for more complex designs. Different effects can also be set up behind the light to give it more appeal.
Acrylic Box
The neon can be mounted on a simple shaped panel, which can be cut to the approximate shape of a design. Coloured or clear acrylic can be used which give off an industrial look due to the visibility of the cables and transformer. Neon light boxes can add a modern to any space.
Types of Neon Lighting Transformers
Electronic Neon Transformers
Ideally suited for indoor use, these are comparatively smaller in size and the voltage is self-regulated. Available in black or white, some of these can be dimmed as well. These transformers need to be located at least 1 to 1.5 m from the tubes.
Resin Block
The resin blocks are larger, weigh more, and need to be placed in a well-ventilated area. Best suited for outdoor use, they give off a slight buzzing sound when in use. They can easily be set up far away from the neon wall lights.
Sustainability
A neon tube light is eco-friendly because it is made from glass and inert gases. They are durable and long-lasting. All the components of this type of light are completely recyclable. These lights are energy-efficient and can produce a massive 60 lumens per watt.
Care & Maintenance
The maintenance of the illuminated signs is fairly easy and only requires a regular dusting of the tubes with a soft feather duster. This helps to keep signs and neon lamps shining brightly. The tubes can also be cleaned with warm soapy water every once in a while to remove any grime.
