Neon signs have been in market for a very long time. With their excellent and flashy glow have been the demand on most high-end businesses. Power consumption of neon sign is immense but its worth it. A whole lot of science goes at the development of neon sign. Long glass tubes are made using a very tricky procedure which are then heat molded to get the desired letter pattern and finally are filled with gas. There are various types of gases, as each gas is inserted in the glass tube for the desired end color and it can only be visible after it is illuminated. Heavy transformers are used to operate the neon tubes in order to illuminate them and keep them illuminated for as long as possible.

New type of plastic neon has immersed in the market which is taking over the traditional glass neon. As it is made of plastic there  are no worries about its breakage and also consumes less power than traditional glass neon. With its less price, non breakable feature and less power consumption, it most probably is going to take over the old fashioned glass neon.
