You don’t sit around waitin’. You reach out. You tell us what’s in your head—we’ll listen. Real close. We’ve been doin’ this a long time.

Select from a range of fonts, colours, and sizes. Want something ultra-bold or soft and romantic? We’ve got you.

Step 4: We mock it up

We’ll send you a digital preview of your custom sign so you can tweak and approve before we get to work.

Step 5: We build it by hand

Our expert makers craft your neon sign with care and precision. No shortcuts here—just quality you can see.

Step 6: Delivered to your door

In about 4–5 weeks, your one-of-a-kind neon will be glowing its way to you, ready to hang and dazzle.

LED neon signs stay cool to the touch and are super energy-efficient—they use about 80% less power than traditional glass neon. Perfect for all-day use without spiking your electric bill.

Gas neon signs, on the other hand, do use more electricity and can get warm after a while. That’s the trade-off for that classic retro glow. Still safe, but not as eco-friendly as LEDs.

We’ve been in the neon business 11 years, so if you're unsure which suits your space, contact us and we’ll guide you right.

Yes—but only if they’re made for it. Some of Smithers custom neon signs are designed for outdoor use and come fully weatherproofed. If you're planning to hang one in a garden, bar terrace, or shopfront, just make sure to choose an outdoor-rated version. Standard indoor signs won’t survive the rain party.

Not sure which ones are outdoor-ready? We’re happy to help you pick the right glow for the great outdoors.

Vintage and antique neon signs (the real gas kind) can sometimes make a faint buzzing sound—it's part of their vintage charm. But our modern LED and gas neon signs run silent. No hums, no fuss—just pure glow.

Custom neon signs usually take 4 to 5 weeks from design to delivery. Each one’s handmade with serious attention to detail—no rush jobs here. And with 11 years in the neon game, we know how to get it right. Trust us, it’s worth the wait.

It really depends on your neon vibe! But here’s the lowdown:

• Pink – Popular neon for bedrooms and selfies. Warm, inviting, and playful.
• Blue – Calming and cool, great for bars or chill zones.
• Red – Bold and classic. Perfect for impact and vintage feels.
• Green – Fresh and modern. Works well in plants capes and edgy designs.
• White – Clean and versatile. Goes with everything.
• Yellow/Orange – Warm and energetic. Great for food spots and creative spaces.
• If you're not sure, go with pink or white—they’re our bestsellers for a reason.

Yep – couldn’t be easier. All Smithers neon signs come ready to plug in and glow. Wall or shelf-mountable with built-in hooks or fixings (depending on the design), or simply stand them up if they’re in an acrylic box. No electrician needed – just plug, switch on, and let the neon do the talking.

Yes, our high-quality neon signs outside are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. They are built with weatherproof casings and materials that protect against rain, sun, and fluctuating temperatures. Please note outside neon signs need to be made custom.

Yes—we ship our real-glass neon signs all across the USA, fast and fully insured. Whether you're in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Austin, or San Francisco, Smithers brings Shoreditch swagger straight to your doorstep.

Looking for a custom neon in Nashville, a bold wall piece in Seattle, or some glow-up magic in Atlanta? We’ve got you. Our signs are made in our studio (not mass-produced plastic), packed with care, and ready to shine Stateside.

No, a dead neon tube cannot be electrically “repaired” if it has lost gas or the electrode has failed we would have to remake it for you.
