LED Or Neon Signs – Which Works Best?
There are many reasons why you might consider a neon sign for your business. They stand out, remind us of the past, and look great in the dark. But nowadays, you can have a custom neon sign style without actually using neon. You can have a “neon sign” made with LED. LED Signs or Neon Signs – What’s the Difference? While the two lighting styles can look alike, they are vastly different in how they work. Neon Signs are made from glass tubing containing inert gas. They light up when an electric current flows through the gas igniting the electrons. The gas determines the color of the light. LED Signs or light-emitting-diode signs are made from flame-resistant PVC. The LEDs are made from a semiconductor material that lights up due to electronic excitation. Custom neon signs can shatter easily because they are made from glass. If they shatter, the gas escapes into the air. They are more expensive to make, install, and replace, and you need a specialist glass neon engineer to install them. LE
