FAQ
Why are LED Neons better for the environment?
- Energy efficiency: LED neon signs are more energy-efficient than glass tube neon signs because they use less electricity to produce the same amount of light. This means they have a lower carbon footprint and are less damaging to the environment.
- Longer lifespan: LED neon signs have a longer lifespan than glass tube neon signs, which means they need to be replaced less often. This results in a reduction in waste and a lower environmental impact.
- Recyclability: LED neon signs are made with recyclable materials, which means they can be recycled at the end of their lifespan. This helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
- Low heat emission: LED neon signs produce less heat than glass tube neon signs, which means they are less likely to contribute to global warming.
What's the difference between traditional neons and LED Neons?
- Glass tube neon signs are made of long, thin glass tubes that are filled with neon gas or other gases. When an electric current is passed through the tubes, the gas inside the tubes becomes excited and emits a bright, glowing light. These signs are often used for indoor or outdoor decorative lighting or for signage purposes.
- LED neon signs, on the other hand, are made using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) rather than neon gas. LEDs are small, solid light sources that are more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than neon gas. LED neon signs can be used in a similar way to glass tube neon signs, but they tend to be more flexible and versatile, as they can be cut and shaped into various forms. They are also typically more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan than glass tube neon signs.
- In summary, the main difference between glass tube neon signs and LED neon signs is the type of lighting technology they use. Glass tube neon signs use neon gas to produce light, while LED neon signs use LEDs.
What is the average cost consumption of a neon per day?
The average cost of operating a neon sign is around $0.002 per hour, or $0.016 per day for 8 hours of use. This estimate may vary based on factors such as the size and design of the sign, the type of neon gas used, and the local electricity rate.
What is the Lead Time for a custom piece?
The lead time for most projects is typically 2-4 weeks, but it may be longer for complicated projects, bulk orders, or during holidays.
