Make sure there&#8217;s an accessible socket nearby \u2014 most signs come with a 1\u20132 metre cord. Bedroom or lounge? Eye-level or just above works best for that perfect glow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What\u2019s the safest way to mount a neon sign<\/strong><br \/>\nIf it comes with pre-drilled holes, mark the positions using a pencil and a spirit level. Use a drill suited to your wall type and insert plugs if needed. Then screw in the mounts \u2014 leaving enough room to slot the acrylic panel over them securely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can I use command strips instead of drilling<\/strong><br \/>\nOnly if your sign is under 1.5kg and mounted on acrylic. Command strips or 3M hooks can work for light signs, but don\u2019t risk it with heavy or oversized pieces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What tools do I need to hang a neon sign<\/strong><br \/>\nYou\u2019ll need a drill or screwdriver, wall plugs (for plaster or brick), a measuring tape, and a level. Optional: adhesive pads or strips for lighter signs, and a smart plug if you want remote control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do I power the sign safely<\/strong><br \/>\nAll Smithers signs run on 12V plug or USB. Use a switch or smart plug to turn it on\/off \u2014 don\u2019t yank the cord. LED neon is low-energy and safe to run for long hours, but switching it off when not in use extends its lifespan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where should I never install a neon sign<\/strong><br \/>\nNever above water, near a sink or bath, or in humid rooms unless it\u2019s rated water-resistant. And don\u2019t mount outdoors unless it\u2019s an outdoor-rated sign with sealed backing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can I hang it on a window or glass surface<\/strong><br \/>\nYes \u2014 fishing wire with suction hooks works well for windows, especially in shopfronts. Make sure it\u2019s level and secure to avoid slipping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What if I want to move it later<\/strong><br \/>\nSmithers signs are built to move. Just unplug, unscrew, and re-hang using the same method. If you used adhesive pads, remove gently and reapply new ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What\u2019s the biggest mistake people make when hanging neon<\/strong><br \/>\nScrewing directly into the acrylic \u2014 don\u2019t. Always use the pre-drilled holes. Also, never bend the tubing or force the sign into a tight fit. That\u2019s a one-way ticket to a broken glow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can I get US shipping for Smithers neon signs<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. Every custom and ready-made Smithers neon sign ships across the UK and USA.
