I’d like a real neon sign. How do I commission one?

Welcome to our world of real glass neon signage. We’re the UK’s most renowned neon signmaker and have years of expertise in designing and producing traditional glass neon signs. The first thing you need to do is contact us (by contact form, email or phone) and share your thoughts. What sort of design would you like for your real neon sign? Perhaps a memorable shape or phrase? What sort of colours you like? What room it will go in? That type of thing. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you and ask all the question we need to know.

1. Safe Installation

• Mounting: Mount the sign on a sturdy acrylic or metal backing panel. Secure the delicate glass tubes using specialized tube supports (stand-offs) so they don't rest directly against the wall. [1, 2]

• Placement: Hang the sign out of reach of foot traffic, pets, or swinging doors. Real glass is highly fragile and contains gas under low pressure; breaking a tube creates a localized leak and breaks the electrical circuit. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

• Ventilation: Real neon transformers generate heat. Ensure there is adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating. [1]

2. Electrical Setup

• High-Voltage Transformer: Your sign will include a specialized electronic or magnetic transformer to step up standard wall voltage (120V) to the high levels required to ionize the gas. [1, 2]

• Circuit Connections: The glass tubes must be wired together in a continuous circuit. Bare wires connecting the tubes must be fully covered with silicone caps for safety. [1]

• Grounding: Always ensure the transformer is properly grounded according to local electrical codes.

3. Operation & Care

• Powering On/Off: Connect the transformer to the wall outlet. Avoid rapid, constant flipping of the power switch, as this can degrade the transformer and electrodes over time. [1, 2, 3]

• Cleaning: Never use liquid cleaners or wet cloths on a powered-on sign. Dust the tubes gently with a dry microfiber cloth or compressed air while the sign is unplugged. [1, 2, 3, 4]

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.
