Materials and Specifications

LED Neon Flex

Our LED neon uses premium silicone-sleeved flex strips with dense LED spacing (120 LEDs per metre) for a continuous, flicker-free glow. Rated IP65 for dust and water resistance. Available in warm white, cool white, red, blue, green, pink, amber, and multi-colour RGB.

Transformers

Our LED neon signs use standard 12V/24V drivers β€” safe, energy-efficient, and cool to touch. All installations include CE-certified power supplies with thermal protection. LED neon uses standard 12V or 24V drivers β€” safer, cooler, and cheaper to run.

Mounting Options

Signs can be wall-mounted on acrylic standoff panels, suspended from ceilings with hanging kits, or freestanding on display bases. We supply all mounting hardware and can install on-site across Newcastle and the North East.

Our Neon Sign Process

1

Design

We create a digital mockup showing your neon sign design, colours, and dimensions with a fixed-price quote.

2

Shaping

LED neon flex is carefully hand-shaped by our skilled craftsmen and fitted to a backing panel to match your exact design.

3

Testing

Every sign is powered up and tested for 24 hours in our workshop to ensure even illumination and safe operation.

4

Installation

We install your neon sign safely and securely, with all wiring certified and transformers mounted discreetly.

Typical lead time: 2-3 weeks for LED neon.

Neon Sign FAQs

Are neon signs safe?

Yes. Modern neon signs are very safe when properly installed. LED neon uses low-voltage but at very low current (similar to a static shock risk). All our installations use CE-certified transformers with thermal cutout protection. LED neon is even safer, running on low 12V/24V power.

How much does a neon sign cost in Newcastle?

A standard LED neon β€œOPEN” sign starts from around Β£220. Custom LED neon signs with your business name or logo range from Β£300-Β£960 depending on size and complexity.

Can neon signs be used outdoors?

Yes. Our LED neon can be used outdoors with proper IP-rated housings and weatherproof transformers. LED neon flex is rated IP65 for outdoor use. We seal all outdoor installations against rain and moisture.

Do neon signs use a lot of electricity?

No. A typical LED neon sign uses 50-100 watts β€” about the same as a single light bulb. LED neon uses even less, typically 15-30 watts. Running costs are around Β£10-Β£25 per year for most signs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do neon signs cost in Newcastle?

Traditional neon signs start from Β£200 for small signs, while custom neon signs typically range from Β£350-Β£1,500 depending on size and complexity. LED neon alternatives start from Β£150 and are more energy-efficient.

What is the difference between traditional neon and LED neon?

Traditional neon uses tubes filled with gas that glow when electrified β€” it has an authentic warm glow but is fragile and uses more power. LED neon uses flexible silicone tubes with LED strips β€” it is more durable, energy-efficient, and safer, with a very similar visual effect.

Can neon signs be used outdoors?

Yes, both traditional and LED neon signs can be used outdoors. We use weatherproof housings and IP-rated transformers for exterior installations. LED neon is often recommended for exterior use as it is more durable.

How long do neon signs last?

Traditional neon signs last 8-15 years with proper maintenance. LED neon signs last 30,000-50,000 hours (about 10 years of typical use). Both can be repaired if individual sections fail.

Do you make custom neon signs for bars and restaurants?

Absolutely. Custom neon signs are one of our specialities. We have made neon signs for bars, restaurants, hair salons, and retail shops across Newcastle, Gateshead, and the North East. We can work from your logo, a sketch, or a concept.
