Should you keep neon signs switched on?
14.04.2017
Neon signs need proper care and handling to ensure they last and continue to look great. With the right installation and correct maintenance you reduce the risk of damaging them. This in turn means there is less risk they will breakdown and lose some of their aesthetics.
At KEMP London we have a lot of experience with this kind of signage. In fact over the years we have become a market leader, establishing ourselves as one of the best companies for both hire and purchase. Our high quality products and ability to offer sound advice and tips has made us the number one company for neon signs London has.
One of the best tips we offer clients when it comes to caring for their signs is to leave them turned on. This may be surprising but it actually causes less wear to the transformer if you keep them on rather than frequently turning on and off. As a result they will last longer.
You don’t need to worry about wasting too much electricity when you leave neon signs turned on. The electric current excites the atoms in the gases to produce the light. As a result there is little wastage in terms of heat. This makes them more efficient than bulbs that have a filament.
The lack of filament and heat being generated also means you don’t need to worry about the signs becoming a hazard. They are cool to the touch, even after being on for many hours, and there is no risk of a fire.
