LED Neon vs. Real Neon – Which Is Right for You?
LED Neon
Glass Neon
We offer both styles, but in most cases, LED neon is the smarter solution. Here’s how they compare:
LED Neon (Recommended)
- Energy-efficient: Uses up to 80% less electricity
- Durable & flexible: Can be bent into tight curves and shapes
- Cool to the touch: No heat or fragile glass
- Safe for indoor use: Ideal for walls, events, and backdrops
- Long lifespan: 50,000+ hours of use
- Custom colors, dimming, and remote controls available
- Easier to ship & install
We recommend LED neon for most interior signs, event signage, and branding walls.
Real Glass Neon
- Classic glow: That unmistakable, nostalgic light
- True gas-based illumination: Using neon or argon gases
- Best for exterior signs & permanent installs
- Higher cost & longer production time
- More fragile and requires high-voltage transformers
Real neon is ideal for storefronts, galleries, or permanent fixtures that demand authenticity.
