A typical size of neon sign that would be used in a home or business for decorative or branding purposes, will cost £80 or less per year to run, which is approx 21p per day.
This is based on the sign being turned on for 10 hours per day, and running at 100 Watts. Most of our neon signs run at much less than 100 Watts.
An LED alternative costs just over half this amount to run, but in actual monetary terms this isn't a very big difference.
Neon signs get slightly warm to touch, but not so hot that you would burn yourself if you touch it.
The only time a neon tube might become hot to touch is if it is badly made, or powered by the wrong size transformer.
Did you know that...
...whilst neon signs usually cost more than LED alternatives, the typical lifespan of a neom sign is in excess of 10 years.
Neon signs are made from glass and are therefore in their nature fragile.
However, if they are handled carefully during transportation and installation then there is no reason at all the glass will break.
We encounter glass products in our daily lives without fear of them getting broken, so there is no reason to think of neon signs any differently.
Did you know that...
...neon signs can be fully recycled as they are made from glass.
Neon signs contain neon, or neon and argon gas, both of which are
inert gases and are found in the atmosphere. We breathe these in
every day.
Did you know that...
...neon signs can be dimmed, so if you find it too bright you can turn the brightness down.
Neon signs are powered by high voltage transformers, but these run at low amperage.
All of our neon signs comply with relevant safety requirements and
British Standards.
