What are custom neon signs?
Custom neon signs allow you to choose from a wide variety of letter designs, colours and finishing touches. Having a custom neon sign designed also means you can choose the size of the sign, and some manufacturers can accommodate requests for whatever size you need. However, others can sometimes restrict you to certain standard sizes. There are very few limitations of what design you can have with LED neon.
You can read our guide to custom neon signs to find out more about your options of lettering and colours for our custom signs.
What do I need to prepare for a neon manufacturer?
You don’t need to be talented to art to present a design to a manufacturer. Many sign makers can work from a simple and quick concept. This could be something you’ve drawn, created online, or an image or photo you’ve taken. If you’re struggling to pinpoint a specific idea, you can take inspiration from a gallery of previous designs a manufacturer may have made.
You can take a look at our design gallery to see some of the designs we have made for other customers.
You should also provide the following information to a sign manufacturer:
- The size of the sign.
- What colour lighting you want to use. LED neon signs offer a wide variety of colours, which you can read more about here. With traditional neon, you can expect an option of around 10 to 50 colours.
- What text you want to display if you are creating a design with text, including your preferred style of lettering.
Do neon signs use a lot of electricity?
Most modern traditional neon signs come equipped with a 240v transformer and use about the same amount of electricity as a single domestic light bulb (60W–100W).
A typical LED neon sign will consume only 15%–20% of the power traditional neon uses on a similar job.
How long do neon signs last?
Neon signs are usually expected to last between 8 and 15 years. However, taking care of your neon sign means you can prolong its life span. Ensure you don’t leave your sign switched on for unnecessarily long periods, such as overnight with no supervision. This leaves it at risks of sustaining damage from electrical surges.

Do neon signs get hot?
Due to how traditional neon signs work, energy generating from atoms, electrons and ions colliding with each other inside the tubes can sometimes occur as heat as well as light. The lower voltage of LED neon signs means they don’t get hot and will stay cool to the touch. The fact that LED neon signs don’t get hot means they use electricity more efficiently than traditional neon that wastes large amounts of power as heat rather than just light.
How to clean neon signs
Signs in busy areas generally require more cleaning. Modern LED neon signs are wrapped in a protective polymer, whilst traditional neon signs use a neon glass tubing that is much more fragile. As LED neon signs are not hot to the touch when lit, they are much easier to clean. There are also no dangerous gasses within, unlike traditional neon signs. Although LED signs are much safer to touch, you should still switch off your sign and unplug it from the power source when cleaning.
To clean, you should first use a feather duster to lightly remove dust. For any remaining dust, you can use a nylon brush with soft bristles, using light pressure. If your sign has stains on, you can mix ½ cup of household ammonia with ½ cup of water in a plastic container. Dampen a cloth with the mixture to wring out any excess. Gently rub out any stains or grime from the surface of your signs.
How can I use a neon sign for my business?
Neon signs are an effective way to promote your business and reach out to your desired audience. Using a neon sign for your business enables customers to find you at any hour of the day or night, providing an invaluable branding asset. Using a neon sign to promote your business can help achieve the following:
- Create unique and recognisable branding
- Draw customers in with a sign that lights up in the darkness
- Add personality and an element of fun to your business
- Use creative marketing to promote a product or element of your business
- Use imagery or quotes that will appeal to your specific desired audience
Neon tube lights are quite popular for placing in business windows, as they are flexible and create a unique, animated effect. You can read more about the benefits of using acrylic LED signs for your business here.
Choosing the right space for your neon sign
You should consider the following factors when choosing where to place your neon sign:
- Consider the intended purpose. If you are using a sign to promote your business, think about whether it is in a highly visible area that is likely to catch people’s eye.
- Think about child precautionary measures. If you are installing a sign in a busy area where there is typically a lot of children around, it is recommended that you put the sign out of easy reach.
- Choose a room that could benefit from some additional light and decoration. If you are placing a sign in your home, consider a room that could benefit from some more exciting and eye-catching decoration.
- Avoid installing a sign somewhere where people can easily knock it over or bump into it. Particularly if you are installing your sign in a busy public area, try and avoid an area where people are likely to knock into it.
