Signage is an effective way to market your business and generate interest. It’s a long-term investment, and neon and LED signs are two popular options. The following is what you should know about each to help you decide which is right for you.

Your Guide to Neon & LED Signs

LED

LED signs use light-emitting diodes (LED) to create images and messages. Professionals program the design, and specific lights illuminate to make it. It’s a versatile option that can accommodate countless shapes. It’s possible to program signs to scroll a larger message across them or for bulbs to change colors to animate an image. The bulb grid design best accommodates geometric images, which is why they’re often used for lettering. Designers can also build LED lights to fit inside larger casings to illuminate letters and logos—common in retail stores.

These signs are long-lasting and energy-efficient. If a bulb burns out, professionals replace it rather than having to repair the entire sign. These signs are extremely bright, making them ideal for catching attention at a distance. They’re ideal for businesses that want to advertise a running message they change over time. Their compact design also makes them perfect for tight spaces like stores tucked between others.

Neon

Neon signs are warm and inviting, which is why you’ll find them in bar and restaurant windows. They are made from handcrafted tubes that contain gas and emit fluorescent colors. They can be shaped into smooth, bending designs ideal for a company logo. The bright colors catch attention well in the dark, and the unique designs stand out against blockier signs in the area.

It’s best to place these signs in windows where the tubes won’t be broken by flying objects during inclement weather. They’re limited to the single tube design, which is why companies choose them to express their brand.
