Why the future looks brighter for LED neon signs than for traditional neon lights?

LED neon signs are becoming more popular among businesses that want to draw attention to their brand in a more creative way than traditional neon signs. Find out why businesses are switching to LED neon and how this is a step toward a better future.

How are LED signs and neon signs different?

In terms of how they work, LED signs and lights are made up of a string of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that are far enough apart that their light sources overlap and give off a constant glow, unlike neon lights, which "flicker."

Most LEDs are protected by a polymer that is both lighter and more flexible than the glass tubing that is used for neon. Plus, they are much less likely to break. LED signs are usually thinner and shorter than traditional neon signs. An LED sign can be as thin as 1 inch, while a neon sign must be at least 3–5 inches deep because the glass tubing must stick out from the back.

More and more people think that LED technology is a better, cheaper, and better environment way to get people's attention because:

Less use of electricity

Energy use is one of the most important costs for a business, so saving money on electricity bills is very important. About 15 times less electricity is used to power our custom neon signs than traditional neon signs. Signs are sized by how many tubes are straightened out. About 20 watts of electricity are used every hour to power one foot of the old neon sign. But an LED light that is the same length and thickness as a neon tube would only use 1.2 watts of electricity per hour. Also, our custom neon signs are less expensive than traditional neon signs and will save you money over their lifetime. This means that as soon as you choose the newer version of our custom neon signs, you are saving money.

Versatility

Traditional neon signs are either on or off and can't be changed in any way. LED neon signs give you a lot more creative freedom because they are made up of thousands of tiny single lights that can each be programmed to be "active" on their own. The color of LED lights can change, and they can also fade or flash. The different sizes of LED bulbs also make it possible to make more creative designs, no matter what space is being lit. When you compare this to tubes that are hard to bend into complicated shapes and can only blink on and off, it's easy to see what will get more attention.

Brightness

While we're talking about looks, it's good to know that LED signs have a consistent brightness that makes them easy to see from close up or far away. It can be hard to see details on neon signs from far away, especially at night when the signs look blurry. You can easily change the brightness of LED neon lights to show them during the day or at night, giving you more control over how much energy they use. Our personalized neon lights are both brighter and use less electricity. The display is flexible because the brightness can be set.

Branding Goes Together

LED signs can be made in almost any color you can think of. This makes it easier to express the brand's image more closely, which helps keep the brand's integrity. Our wide range of other custom neon sign options means that NeonExperts will always be able to do something for your brand to liven up your place of work or play.

Safety: Unlike neon signs, which get very hot when turned on, custom-made LED neon signs don't make much heat and are safe to touch. Neon signs can cause shocks, and LED bulbs are tough, so if the sign breaks, the broken glass won't be dangerous like the fragile glass tubing in traditional neon signs.

Installation Time and Cost: LED signs are easier and faster to install than their older counterparts because they are more flexible and weigh less. Even though the cost of the LED equipment itself is higher up front, this is made up for by savings on labor and in the long run. Old neon signs cost more because they are bigger, harder to move and take longer to put up because of the parts that make them up.

Because technology has gotten better, the price of LED has gone down, and now most new signs are made of LED.

Eco-friendliness

LED signs are better for the environment than other types of lit signs because they use less energy and last longer. More and more LED bulbs can also be recycled. Old neon signs, on the other hand, are considered toxic waste. LED doesn't have any problems with gas, glass tubes, argon, or mercury.
