WHAT IS NEON?
Neon is a gas. But most people use the word neon to describe signs,
art, and lighting that is made entirely or in part with neon tubes.
These tubes are sealed, airtight glass,
filled at a very low pressure with either NEON or ARGON gas.
The ends of the tubes have metal fittings
that are connected by wires to a neon transformer
or power supply which transmits electrical current through the tube,
and cause it to light.
A typical neon sign or art piece
may have any number of tubes wired together
to one or more transformers or power supplies.

HOW ARE THE DIFFERENT COLORS MADE?
The colors are created in in the following ways:
By filling the tube with either of the two gases.
They are neon, which appears red-orange in a clear glass tube,
or argon, which is pale blue in a clear glass tube.
Or, by using a colored glass tube, or a clear glass tube
that is coated on the inside with fluorescent powders
that, when lit, will emit certain colors.

HOW EXPENSIVE IS NEON TO RUN?
The electrical power needed to run neon
depends on the total length of tubing,
the diameter of the tubing, the colors, etc.
A typical neon sign or art piece, however,
of average size will consume
approximately fifty to two hundred watts,
which can be compared to the power consumption of an equivalent incandescent bulb.
Neon is a very efficient light source.

HOW LONG DOES NEON LAST?
Most indoor neon pieces are virtually maintenance free.
The transformer or power supply can last up to fifteen years,
if it is correctly matched to the neon display.
The neon tubes do not burn out
like incandescent or fluorescent bulbs,
and will last twenty years
or longer if they don't get broken.

IS NEON SAFE?
Neon can be made as safe as any other appliance,
such as a lamp or radio.
The safety is really determined by the
type and quality of the components used,
the procedures used to assemble those components,
and the skill of the persons assembling the neon.
