Neon signs are still the brightest overall, and prices are competitive with LED signs. The biggest thing going for neon signs is that it has been the norm for more than a decade and has an established track record with business looking for light advertisement for their front windows. Some say that LED lights are not consistent and leave bright spots where neon signs is smooth. Another problem with LED is that the light is directional and can only be seen from the front and neon is seen at three hundred and sixty degrees making it brighter. Another comparison between LED and neon signs are the colors. LED lights are limited in the use of colors, where, neon is not limited. With neon the colors all shine just as brightly as the others. Besides what do you think of when you here neon; Vegas, and or bars, both places to have a good time. So neon is nostalgic in that it reminds us of good times we have had and want to have again.

LED lighting can be a great cost effective way to advertise for your business. Because LED runs cooler and uses much less voltage (12v) than a neon sign (110v/120v), it lowers your monthly electricity bill, as well as, you insurance bill. You can also choose a sign that has movement in it, unlike the neon sign. LED is probably the first technology to actually take on neon because of it’s bright lights and price. LED signs even offer longer warranties for up to five years. The cost to build a LED sign is going head to head with the cost of a neon sign which is why the LED sign can be so competitive with neon. LED lights however, do need some work in the brightness of their whites, blues, and greens. The reds, clear reds, amber, and oranges can be equally bright as a neon signs. So it really depends on what you are looking for in a sign.

Neon lighting was the first to show up with its bright whites and bold colors. The use of neon signs has made it’s way into many bars, and store fronts. Neon is even a bit nostalgic when it comes to the sign area. It some places it is still very popular. They are competitively priced and are likely to be around for a long time. However, there is a new type of sign on the horizon. LED lighting is making it’s way to the front of the market. With the improvements being made leaving LED lights running brighter, cooler to the touch, and able to run longer time periods it’s fast taking over the neon light industry. They are even more cost efficient. The insurance and electricity are lower because it doesn’t use the high voltage that tube lighting does. Even the designs can be worlds apart. With LED you can make sharp turns and bends in the path of the light where as, tube lighting can’t because the tube would cut off the path of the light or break. LED lights can also be thinner lines than the tubing light. At the present time the decision of LED signs vs. neon signs depends on the uses and who is buying the light.
