They run hot, can shatter, and require professional installation. LED neon signs — like every sign Y SIGNS produces — use a different technology: low-voltage LED strips (typically 12V or 24V DC) embedded in flexible silicone tubing, an acrylic backing board for support, and a standard wall-plug adapter (like your laptop charger). So: no high voltage, no glass, no gas, no heat. The...
