Q. Is it safe to use my credit card when I order? Q. How will my order be shipped? Q. How long will it take to receive my order? Q. What if I am looking for an item that you do not currently carry? Q. Do you take international orders? Q. How can I place an order if I experience difficulty with your website? Q. Just how does neon work? A. A neon sign is a very simple devise. It consists of a vacuum-tight glass tube that has been bent to resemble either a letter or graphic design fitted at each end with an electrode. Inside the tube is a small amount of rare gas. Connected to the two electrodes is a source of high-voltage electrical power. When the current is turned on, the tube glows with a steady piercing light. Even though neon lights operate at a higher voltage, the transformer does all the work, keeping the electrical cost low. The rare gases neon, argon, helium, xenon and krypton are ideally suited for use in neon signs. The two most common gases used in neon signs are neon and argon. While neon is very bright, argon's light is weak due to its low resistance. Neon gas gives off a red glow. Almost everything else is filled with argon gas. When you see yellow, blue, green, white or any of several other shades, these tubes are filled with argon gas. The tube may be clear, colored or phosphor coated. Various combinations of gas, glass and phosphor produce over 200 neon colors. The diameter of the tubing and the kind of transformer used to power the neon lights also create subtle variations in hue and intensity. Many neon tubes are coated on the inside with fluorescent powders that filter out different colors from the light spectrum. In combination with the different gasses, an even greater number of neon colors are achieved. For instance, a green tube filled with argon/mercury (blue gas) will light up green. Fill the same tube with neon (red gas) and the tube lights up orange, Likewise, a blue tube, filled up with blue gas will light up blue, and the same blue tube filled with red gas will light up pink. Unlike an incandescent bulb, which has a filament that can burn out, neon lights have no filament, and have a typical life span of 7 to 10 years. Some neon lights have been known to last over 20 years. Neon is the brightest, most versatile, cost effective, and eye-catching way to write in light. |
