By Barbara Baker


Neon is a gas or an element that is unlikely on earth compared to the universe. Its weight is low that causes it not to form a compound element with other chemicals, however, it has a different kind of reaction if it is placed in a gas vacuum tube and is combined with some electrons. Thus, resulting to discharging a voltage.

The discharged voltage of the reaction is the reason why the neon gas glows. You can see these neon signs in Midland TX, Manhattan, NY, and in some more business areas all over the world. As this gas fills the tubes, this creates lighting displays and then bent into different shapes to form letters or any designs.

Usually, restaurants or bars use these signs in promoting their business to the public. These is very helpful in attracting customers because of their brilliant colors and light that really stands out mainly at night. They have been deliberated as one of the most effective way of advertising, because of its ability to catch attention.

Space is not so much needed for these and they are very attractive and visible to people, which is one of its advantages. Their lives are usually long, however it would also depend on how they were constructed. Typically, they can last up to 8 - 15 years, but for traditional signs, they are normally replaced after 5 years below.

One thing that is good with them is that they have a very low power consumption. They are not that expensive, you can afford them at lower price than the other means of advertising. Additionally, you can also choose the kind of shape and size that you want, and choose specific colors for them with the programmed message that you want.
