Topaz SIGNworks - Do Light Emitting Diodes or LED signs have real advantages over Neon signs? Well, let's compare the two.
Cost....LED signs initial cost is less than Neon signs but the real cost factors is in the total cost of purchase, meaning maintenance and operation cost. LED signs have significant cost advantage versus Neon signs.
Size....LED is about 20% to 33% the thickness of Neon. For example a 1" thick LED sign compares to a 3" to 5" thick Neon sign making the LED sign easier to install.
Brightness and Clarity....LED is brighter and clearer than Neon. LED remains bright and clear in direct sunlight and at a distance where Neon becomes blurry at a distance.
Power Usage....LED uses about 6 to 10 times less power than Neon. LED is cool to the touch and does not use argon or mercury gases which are toxic versus Neon. Neon gradually loses the toxic argon or mercury gases over time which results in a "flickering" effect.
Life Expectancy and Feature Effects....LED lasts approximately 10 years or 100,000 hours and has more available flashing and animation options than Neon.
Maintenance....LED is easy to clean as they are not made of glass and are cool to the touch versus Neon which is made of glass and very hot to the touch.
