HOW LONG DO NEON SIGNS LAST?

28-03-2024

To put it simply: Neon signs have a long lifespan! Manufacturers predict that neon signs can last between 45 to 50,000 hours. However, with proper installation and high-quality manufacturing, they can exceed this estimate. An impressive example is a neon sign discovered in America that had been running for over 70 years, demonstrating their durability and longevity. Typically, well-maintained neon signs can endure for 8 to 15 years, although some may last even longer with careful upkeep. Environmental factors such as weather exposure, dust accumulation, and physical damage can influence their lifespan. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and thorough inspections for wiring or tube issues, can prolong their longevity. Neon signs are designed to operate at high voltages without compromising their lifespan. They can also function at low voltages without significant impact on longevity. Additionally, properly assembled and installed neon signs pose no risk of burning fingers. While the electrodes may become warm, they won't cause burns upon contact. Electrical connections are typically covered with rubber caps, known as shrouds or electrode sleeves, to insulate them and prevent any heat-related issues. Furthermore, neon signs are easily repairable. Common repairs include replacing broken glass tubes, fixing damaged wires or connections, and replacing malfunctioning transformers or power supplies. Trained professionals should handle neon sign repairs due to the potential hazards involved and the need for specialised knowledge and tools.
