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.
