Choosing between custom Neon Signs and LED Signs

Neon signs are beautiful and so are LED signs too. The perfect lighting may be all you need to grab the attention of a customer to your business. However, many businesses will likely struggle between choosing neon signage and LED signage.

The first thing that you should know is that both of them have their pros and cons. However, the following properties will likely make you settle for bright custom neon signs. 

The main differences between Neon and LED signs

Neon lights have significant differences when you place them side-by-side with LED lights. Notwithstanding that the first neon light was created in 1898, manufacturers continue to innovate around them. LED light is a relatively recent invention (1962). Consequently, one major advantage that LED seems to have over neon signage is lower energy consumption. While LED signage can run 24 volts, very large neon signage can require up to 15,000 volts. However, when the lighting is smaller, the difference between the two diminishes. Other differences you should bear in mind include;

Safety

Neon signs are usually fragile because the gas is contained in a glass tube. Therefore, they come with open circuit protection, which automatically cuts off current when there is tube damage. Since LED signs are sturdier, they lack a protective feature. It is paramount to bear this in mind when making your choice.

Cost of repair

Fixing neon signage is easier than LED signage. Whenever there is an accident with neon signage, you only have to change the tubes. With LED signage, it is a different ball game. Each of the LEDs is manually fixed to the base. This means that you have to work on them one at a time—and there are usually so many of them. 

Aesthetics

Neon signs bring a cool ambiance with toned-down lighting to the environment. LED signs, on the other hand, are brighter—but that tends to irritate the eyes. Also, neon tubes can be twisted into alluring shapes, making them more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. The neon tube technology allows you to get as creative as possible with your signage. 

Colour variation

The combination of colours often makes signage more attractive. It is easier to pull off a colour blend with a neon glow. LED usually has a solid mono colour. This can be limiting for someone with wild creative imagination. Also, neon has an omnidirectional glow, which means you can fix it just anywhere. The lighting of LED, on the other hand, is unidirectional. Consequently, this limits how and where you can place your signage. 

Popularity

Neon signage is often the first choice for many establishments—and this is partly due to its flexible design. They can operate all-day-long, thus, making them suitable for businesses. Notwithstanding that LED is a newer technology, its popularity is growing.

Summary

Your choice will likely boil down to taste, personal preference, or the intended use. However, it is crucial to consider what others think about your signage. Always remember that the goal is to get everyone’s attention.
