General
Our signs vary from $100 to as much as you’d like to pay. Typically our custom neon signs go for around $500 for a 2 x 2ft (600 x 600mm) sign.
The cost is dictated by the length of LED neon used, and the overall size/complexity of the sign.
LED is a more cost-effective option that is considerably more robust. Glass neon is a true aficionado’s option, it won’t ship well and can be damaged easily – but the classic neon glow is hard to beat.

It’s a personal preference, but we typically recommend the rule of thirds. If a wall is 3ft wide, we’d recommend the sign to be 1ft wide, with a foot at either side, balancing the space.
However if you want to make a bigger impact with your custom neon sign, go bigger – or if you want a subtle, classy look – go smaller.
The simpler the design the better, and linework style logos/designs typically translate the best into a custom LED sign.
The best color for roadside visibility is red or cool white on your custom neon. But generally it comes down to what you think is best, don’t overthink it too much!
No, neon signs are made from glass neon tubes. LED neon signs are made from LEDs inside silicon tubes. The overall effect of LEDs is very similar to glass neon, and they are regularly confused.
Yes, our custom LED neon signs can absolutely be repaired – it all just depends on the issue. This includes glass neon signs as well.
If your sign is under warranty from us then the repairs/replacements might be covered.
LED Neon signs are not dangerous. Our LED neon signs are low voltage (12 volts) and they produce minimal heat, so they’re safe to touch.
On the other hand, glass neon signs can be dangerous if broken. Small shards of glass can go everywhere. Neon/argon/mercury/xenon is not recommended to touch or inhale, and in fact is very dangerous if done.
Are LED neon signs are warm to the touch, but being low voltage never gets too hot. As a result, they produce minimal to no heat, even when they’ve been on for days or weeks on end. The most they heat up is a slight warmth to touch after being on for extended periods of time.
We would never recommend touching a glass neon sign, they do get much hotter than LED and are particularly fragile.
Yes, using our acrylic LED neon we can produce custom signs that are suitable for rain/water/snow and cold conditions and hot ones too.
