FAQs for “Neon Signs in London
1️⃣ Are your neon signs made from real glass and gas?
Yes. Every 1 Smithers neon sign is hand-blown from real glass tubing and filled with eco-friendly argon gas for a bright, classic glow.
2️⃣ What’s the difference between glass neon and LED neon?
Glass neon gives an authentic warm light and vintage character; LED neon is lighter, more flexible, and energy-efficient. We craft both depending on your design and budget.
3️⃣ How long do real glass neon signs last?
With proper care, 8–15 years or more. Our tubes are made from high-quality European glass for maximum lifespan.
4️⃣ Is gas neon safe for indoor use?
Absolutely. Argon and neon gases are inert and completely sealed inside the glass—safe for homes, shops, bars, and creative studios.
5️⃣ Can neon signs be used outdoors?
Yes. We build weather-sealed outdoor models using UV-resistant materials and moisture-protected fittings, ideal for London’s changing climate.
6️⃣ Can neon signs be repaired?
Real glass neon can usually be repaired if a tube or transformer fails. While we don’t repair in-house, we collaborate with certified neon electricians for safe restorations.
7️⃣ Do you deliver nationwide?
We ship securely across London and throughout the UK. Each piece is packed with full installation guidance.
