Neon lighting
Neon lighting is a type of electrical lighting that uses neon gas and a high voltage electrical current to produce a glowing light. The neon gas is contained in a glass tube, and when an electrical current is passed through it, the gas becomes ionized and emits light.
The use of neon lighting dates back to the early 20th century, when French engineer Georges Claude developed the first neon lamp. The first neon lamp was exhibited at the Paris Motor Show in 1910, and was an immediate success.
Since then, neon lighting has become a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including signage, advertising, and decorative lighting. Neon lights are known for their bright, vibrant colours and their ability to attract attention, which makes them suited for use in advertisements and other visual displays.
One of the unique features of neon lighting is that it can be bent and shaped into a variety of forms. This allows designers to create custom neon signs and displays that can be tailored to the specific needs of their clients.
Other applications include decorative lighting for homes and businesses, emergency lighting for vehicles, and illumination for scientific equipment.
Despite the popularity of neon lighting, there are some drawbacks to its use. One of the main issues is that neon lights require a high voltage electrical current. Additionally, neon lights are relatively expensive to produce and maintain compared to other types of lighting.
Neon lighting is a unique and eye-catching form of lighting, and its bright colours and ability to be shaped into custom forms make it a popular choice for those looking to add some visual interest to their spaces.
