The history of neon advertising

Can you imagine Las Vegas without neon signs?

How different would Tokyo, Hong Kong, or Bangkok look if there were no neon signs?

How dark would the city centers of Berlin, Hamburg, or Frankfurt be without their neon lights?

Illuminated advertising with incandescent bulbs existed as early as the 19th century. However, the invention of the neon tube in 1919 laid the foundation for large-scale, colorful neon advertising. In the USA, neon advertising began its triumphant march in the mid-1930s. There, it was the automobile manufacturer Packard that first discovered this advertising medium for itself. With the economic miracle of the 1950s, luminous neon advertising finally arrived in Germany as well. Whether shops, cinemas, or restaurants – they were all recognizable from afar by the brightly flashing lettering, images, and logos that soon dominated the cityscape everywhere.

Neon signs have evolved considerably. Instead of classic hand-blown glass fluorescent tubes, we now mostly use modern LED tubes. However, the original neon sign from the 1950s and 60s has become a highly sought-after collector's item – for both enthusiasts and those who want to decorate their business or home in a vintage style. When designing your custom LED advertising light in our online configurator, you too can draw inspiration from vintage neon signs. We manufacture the exact product you want, guaranteeing top-notch quality.

Classic neon sign versus LED advertising sign

How do fluorescent tubes actually work?

How is traditional neon signage manufactured?

What exactly is LED neon?

Traditional fluorescent tubes contain a noble gas that is ignited by the high voltage when the tube is switched on. While the first lamps were indeed filled with neon, today other noble gases such as argon or krypton are primarily used due to their superior properties. A phosphor coating on the inside of the glass tube provides the desired color for the neon sign. The tube itself was formerly crafted by glassblowers using elaborate handcrafting techniques, and each piece was inspected for defects. Classic fluorescent tubes are made of thin-walled glass and are therefore quite fragile. Because they contain toxic mercury, they are classified as hazardous waste for disposal.

LED tubes, on the other hand, are simply ordinary LED light sources in a tube shape. They contain a circuit board on which many individual LEDs are soldered in a row. These light-emitting diodes are semiconductor components with a special LED chip. When this chip is energized, it emits photons that the human eye perceives as visible light. The color of the light for this type of neon signage depends on the materials used. Compared to classic neon tubes, LED tubes score points with their long lifespan and significantly lower energy consumption, which has a positive impact on the environment. They produce a pleasant and vibrant light, have no start-up delay, and do not flicker. While LEDs were initially only found in illuminated advertising, they can now also be used as a complete lighting solution.

The advantages of LED neon in detail:

• LED neon lights are characterized by their high efficiency . Depending on the type, they deliver between 90 and 150 lumens per watt.
  
  
• With a color rendering index (CRI) of over 80, and sometimes even 90 to 95, LEDs come very close to natural sunlight. In contrast to traditional fluorescent tubes, they therefore make the colors of illuminated objects appear more natural – a particularly important aspect for neon signs.
  
  
• LED tubes are also available in a dimmable version upon request. Using an LED-compatible dimmer, the brightness of your neon sign can be adjusted as needed.
  
  
• LEDs for neon signs require no warm-up phase and do not flicker. They reach full brightness immediately upon being switched on, without any delay.
  
  
• The lifespan of LEDs, at 30,000-50,000 hours, is significantly longer than that of neon tubes and is not affected by frequent switching on and off.
  
  
• While classic neon tubes scatter their light in all directions (energy loss!), most LED tubes have a beam angle of 160° and can therefore be aimed more precisely.
  
  
• A special LED driver supplies the LEDs in the tube with direct current. Unlike fluorescent tubes, LED neon signs therefore exhibit no visible flicker .
  
  
• LED neon lights are made from high-quality silicone tubing. They are free of mercury and other harmful substances and can easily withstand even rough handling.
  
  
• Unlike conventional light sources, LEDs do not generate heat and can be touched without risk. Neon signs of this type are therefore also suitable for installation within reach of children.
  
  
• LED neon signs cost significantly less to produce than traditional neon tubes. We are happy to pass these savings on to our customers.

Even though most people only talk about neon signs or neon advertising, LED neon can actually be used for so much more: illuminated signs can provide orientation. They can mark locations, identify buildings, or guide people. If a specific atmosphere is desired in a room, they can even serve as the sole source of light. Neon signs are also becoming increasingly popular as a stylish design element in living spaces. Our designs range from the emblem of the famous Route 66 to hearts, crowns, and Christmas stockings, all the way to beautiful religious symbols. Our bestsellers also include neon lettering with sayings and words of wisdom in all shapes and colors. If you'd rather create your own masterpiece, Neoneverglow is the right place for you.

This is how you design your individual LED advertising sign at Neoneverglow

Would you like to design your own company logo as a neon sign?

Do you need custom neon signs for signage in buildings or at trade fairs?

Do you have a motto that you would like to install as a neon sign in your kitchen?

Our user-friendly online configurator guides you step-by-step to your very own, unique neon sign. Our personalized LED neon signs are maintenance-free and safe to use. They don't flicker or hum, are energy-efficient, and shine up to 10% brighter than conventional neon signs. First, consider where you want to install the sign and what effect you want to achieve. Then, select the individual components accordingly during the configuration process.

For your custom neon sign, you can choose from 27 different fonts and 10 vibrant colors. You also decide whether the back panel should be black or transparent, solid or cut to shape. If you want to adjust the lighting conditions frequently, order a dimmer switch and ideally a matching remote control as well. Finally, don't forget to select the correct power plug (depending on whether you intend to use the neon sign in the UK, the EU, America, or Australia). For special requests such as custom logos, fonts, or a waterproof neon sign for outdoor use, simply email us before placing your order.

The assembly/installation of LED neon signs

We mount our neon signs on back panels made of clear, high-quality acrylic glass. These panels come pre-drilled, allowing you to mount them directly in the desired location. The advantages of acrylic glass over conventional real glass are obvious: it is robust and shatterproof, boasts impressive optical brilliance, is UV-stable, and completely transparent. Acrylic withstands heat and cold and shows no signs of weathering, even when used on exterior walls. Its surface is easy to clean, and even scratches can be removed with special cleaning agents. Compared to real glass, acrylic also scores points for its affordable price. It is ideal as a back panel for an eye-catching neon sign, whether indoors or outdoors.

Of course, LED neon signs can also be mounted freestanding. With illuminated advertising pylons, for example, your business will be highly visible even in the dark, guiding your customers and visitors. Individual illuminated letters offer exceptional flexibility in designing your illuminated advertising, regardless of the mounting method. Whether for facades, boxes, or stands – we supply every neon sign with a 2-meter-long transparent connection cable, so you can put it into operation immediately. For indoor use, we also offer a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. Once installed, the LED sign is maintenance-free for many years.

CONCLUSION

Neon signs exert a magnetic pull on people. For almost 100 years, their vibrant images and lettering have given the world's major cities a distinctive character.
