Neon is the classic light source in signage and has been in use since the 1920s. It is not difficult to understand why. With neon, you get a beautiful sign, with good brightness, a classic retro feel and a long life. Neon tubes are available in most colours and can be switched on and off in various sequences in order to catch the eye. You can vary neon signs by having different designs, such as lettering profiles or on backgrounds with a range of materials and colours.
THE ADVANTAGES OF NEON SIGNS
- Classic, authentic feel that is hard to beat
- High visibility and light intensity
- Long life
THE MANUFACTURE OF NEON SIGNS IS A CRAFT
As is clear from our name, our origins are in the neon sign. We started manufacturing neon signs as early as the 1960s and have since designed and manufactured a countless number of neon signs. There are several varieties of neon signs, but today we basically only produce neon signs in which the tubes are visible. Below you will find a gallery with some examples of different neon signs and art projects that we have worked on through the years.

Neon is a noble gas that emits a red glow. By mixing it with argon or container, you can have any colour you like. Neon tubes are made of glass and shaped according to the desired character or logo. They are then filled with neon or a combination of neon and argon. Because the pipes can be shaped almost freely, they are very suitable for illuminatingletters in particular. For natural reasons, however, there are limitations to how detailed or how small the letters can be made on the curvature of the neon tubes.
NEON SIGNS OR LED SIGNS – THAT IS THE QUESTION
At FocusNeo, we have more than 50 years of experience in the project management, design, construction and installation of signs. Our award-winning sign designers help hundreds of clients every year with profiling and to find the right expression for their signage. Nowadays, new neon signs are only manufactured when you want the authentic neon look and there are other options available. In the long-term, signs with neon are more costly and less environmentally friendly than signs with similar LED technology. Today, we usually replace neon with other technologies, which can provide the same feeling as the neon variant, but which save up to 90% in energy consumption. Below you will find a link to our page about neon-resembling LED signs.
We also provide servicing and maintenance of older neon signs. Contact us if you would like to know more.
