Neon Creations specialise in genuine, custom made neon signs, neon lights and neon art, with every piece designed and manufactured using glass. All our neon signs are handmade, with our friendly and family-run business having over 60 years’ combined experience in the neon sign making industry. While we pride ourselves on creating authentic glass neon signs, we also supply LED signs as an alternative option. There is no such thing as LED neon signs, it is either neon signs or LED signs. We offer a huge range of services including selling our custom made signs or hiring the pieces for events, special occasions or for business purposes.

If you have a particular idea in mind or want to see what your business logo looks like as a neon sign, visit our dedicated design your own neon service where you'll visualise a design instantly. Our aim is to make it as easy and hassle-free as possible to buy genuine neon signs, and we are passionate about creating a variety of high quality signs, lights and artwork.

Do real neon signs last longer than LED?
Neon signs can last for decades, with a typical lifespan being 10 years or more. Sometimes it may be necessary to replace the transformer within this time frame, but the tubes themselves last for a very long time if well made. Of course the longevity depends on how frequently the neon sign is used. As an example of this, we have several neon signs in our workshop that were made when the business started in 2005, and they are still going strong today. They are generally on for 8 hours per day, 5 hours per week. Whilst manufacturers of LED signs state the average lifespan is 100,000 hours, this is only based on projections of expected lifespan, since the technology hasn’t been in existence long enough for real world information.

Are traditional neon signs safe?
They are 100% safe, and we wouldn’t be allowed to sell them if they weren’t. All of our neon signs are manufactured to comply with relevant standards (such as BSI, EN50107, etc.). Contrary to information that you may read elsewhere, neon signs do not contain toxic gases, in fact neon gas and argon gas are inert gases found in our atmosphere that we breathe in every day. Whilst the neon tubes are made from glass, this does not make them dangerous - after all, we use other glass products on a daily basis with no issues. The transformers that are supplied with our neon signs, are fitted with safety protection, so if there is an issue detected within the electrical circuit, the power immediately cuts out.

Why choose real neon?
Why would you not choose real neon! Real neon emits an ambient glow, and is a 360 degree light source, whereas most LED signs are less than half the illumination of neon, with only the face of the lettering or design being illuminated. As real neon is made from glass, compared to the plastic of LED, it inherently looks more elegant. Real neon is more sustainable as the glass tubes can be recycled, whereas LED ends up in landfill as it isn’t recyclable. There is a much wider range of standard colours available for real neon (we stock around 40, but there are more than this available), unless you go for an RGB option with LED.
