What Are The Differences Between Neon and LED?

1) Price -LED neon signage is often 10% cheaper than comparable neon signs. 

2) Space Usage – Even though led signs are just 1/3 to 1/5 the thickness of neon signs, Because neon is bulkier than LED lights, neon signs tend to be broader and higher than LED signage. Most business owners don't mind having signs in their windows or walls. The main distinction is depth. A neon sign is 3-5 inches deep because the glass tubing must reach away from the backing.

3) Installation – LED signs are slimmer and lighter than neon signage. LED vs Neon is easier to ship and install.

4) Brightness – LED flex neon is brighter than regular glass neon at 210 Lm/m. A glass neon sign with a lumen density of 197 Lm/m emits a warmer light.

5) Affordability – LED neon signs are significantly less expensive than glass neon signs and much easier to replace light tubes, while glass neon signs are higher in initial cost and more costly to fix and maintain.

6) Durability – LED Neon Flex is flexible and consists of high-quality, flame-retardant silicone jackets. Glass neon signs are composed of delicate, breakable glass that easily shatters.

7) Energy Efficiency – LED neon sign has low power consumption and a 24V/120V input voltage resulting in cheaper electricity expenses and more excellent safety. Glass neon sign has a 3KV-18KV input voltage resulting in increased energy consumption and increased safety risks.

8) Safety / Suitability – Due to the reduced voltage, LED signs do not become hot, and there is no glass to shatter. It is not recommended for families with children due to the dangers of breakage, mercury, and neon gas.

9) Lifespan – A LED neon sign has a life expectancy of around 50,000 hours. At the same time, the glass neon sign has approximately 10,000 hours of use.

10) Energy Savings – Here, an LED sign is the obvious choice, as it may save up to ten times the energy of a neon sign composed of glass neon tubes.
