Glass Neon VS LED Neon

Both traditional glass neon tubes and LED faux neon are great products that have unique characteristics.

Depending on your use, we may recommend one over the other.

Left: real neon tubes mounted onto a wall, with a nice “back-glow”

Right: LED neon mounted onto a clear acrylic backing

LED neon is typically an indoor product, where as neon tubes are waterproof

classic neon

Some projects deserve real neon - the look is classic and cannot be completely replicated

LED “Neon”, mounted onto a cut piece of acrylic plastic, great for DIY installs (wedding, events, homes with kids)

For projects that pose a challenge to the glass, we sometimes use LED signs or light boxes. We don’t recommend using neon glass for traveling signs, specific residential work, etc.

We will let you know when we think LED is the way to go!
