What is a neon sign?
A neon sign is a type of illuminated signage that uses LED or traditional gas-filled tubes to create bright, eye-catching designs. Modern LED neon signs offer the same vibrant glow as traditional glass neon but are more energy-efficient, durable, and safer to use.
These signs are made from flexible LED strips encased in silicone, allowing for custom shapes, colors, and designs. Whether you're looking for a custom LED neon sign for your business logo, home decor, or event signage, LED neon is the perfect solution for long-lasting, high-quality illumination.
What is a backlit acrylic sign?
An acrylic backlit logo sign is a custom illuminated sign that showcases a business name, logo, or design on a high-quality acrylic panel. These signs use LED lighting positioned behind the acrylic to create a soft halo glow effect, making them perfect for business storefronts, office interiors, and brand displays.
They offer a modern and professional appearance while being energy-efficient, durable, and long-lasting. Acrylic backlit signs can be customized in various colors, sizes, and finishes to match your brand identity, making them a popular choice for companies looking to enhance visibility and branding.

Can I use any font I like, or only the preset fonts?
Yes and no! We understand that choosing the right font is an essential part of creating a neon sign that reflects your unique style. Here’s what you need to know about font options for your neon sign:
Can I use any font I like for my neon sign?
While we offer flexibility in font choices, not all fonts are ideal for neon signs. We recommend using script and sans-serif fonts, as these work well for the neon effect. It’s important to choose fonts with fixed-line widths for accurate representation in neon. Calligraphic or variable-width fonts may not translate as effectively, due to the design constraints of LED neon rope.
What if I have a specific font in mind that I'd like to use?
If you have a specific font you’d like to use, our talented designers can work with you to create a custom design. They’ll ensure that your chosen font fits within our design rules and technical capabilities, delivering a unique neon sign that matches your vision.
Can I use any font I like, or only the preset fonts?
The pricing for our custom neon signs is based on a variety of factors, giving you the flexibility to create a design that fits both your preferences and your budget. Here's an overview of how our pricing works:
What’s the starting price for custom neon signs?
Our custom neon signs start at $100. This is the basic price, providing a foundation for your unique neon design. The final price may vary depending on design elements and custom features you choose.
What factors affect the cost of a custom neon sign?
Several factors can influence the cost of your custom neon sign, including:
Font Choice: The style of font or lettering you select can impact the price. Some fonts require more neon tubing, which may increase the overall cost.
Size: Larger neon signs will generally cost more due to the increased amount of neon tubing needed for bigger sizes.
Design Complexity: Intricate or detailed designs may involve additional materials or require more time to produce, which can increase the price.
Neon Tubing Length: The total length of neon tubing used in your design will directly influence the cost. More elaborate designs with longer tubing will typically be priced higher.
How can I get an accurate price for my custom neon sign?

What's the average lifespan of a neon sign?
The average lifespan of an LED neon sign is around 50,000 hours with proper use. This means if you use your sign for about 8 hours a day, it can last over 17 years. LED neon signs are designed to be energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them a great alternative to traditional glass neon. To maximize the lifespan, keep the sign in a well-ventilated area and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
Are neon signs safe and reliable?
LED neon signs are powered by low-voltage, energy-efficient LED technology, making them safer and more durable than traditional glass neon signs. Each sign comes with a plug-and-play power adapter that converts standard electrical current into a safe voltage for the LEDs.
We provide the correct plug type and voltage transformer based on your shipping region. To ensure safety and longevity, always use the provided power supply, as using an unapproved adapter may void the warranty and damage the sign.
Are your signs made from LED or glass?
We make LED neon signs and LED backlit signs. Unlike traditional glass neon, our LED signs are energy-efficient, durable, and safer to use. LED neon signs replicate the classic neon glow using flexible silicone tubing and LED lights, while LED backlit signs use acrylic panels with LED illumination for a sleek, professional look. Both options provide vibrant, long-lasting lighting with lower power consumption.
