Make: Online : Neon signs, made from LEDs

Neon signs, made from LEDs

LEDs to replace NEON? I want to tinker with these no matter what - "The ideal lighting solution for any architectural, decorative or signage application. LED-FLEX incorporates light emitting diode (LED) technology in a flexible, durable tube that uses a proprietary maximization technique to achieve the appearance and brightness of traditional neon. Completely sealed and impervious to shock and vibration. LED-FLEX can be used indoors or out, in wet and extreme conditions. Best yet, LED-FLEX is up to 70% more efficient than neon, provides long years of continuous use, yet is cool enough for contact with people and delicate materials." [via] - Link.

neon bender

take it from an expert these things are crap and nothing like neon in glass as for the claim 70% doughtful the cost of neon is five times less to make and install plus the choice of colours is more than 50 to 6 so don't lie to the public a bit of fairness in the argument would be helpful. regards
