A Practical Guide to Neon Lights

Custom designed LED Neon Lights Newcastle and Hunter region

  Lots of colour & style choices

 Perfect for indoor and outdoor use

Screen Signs creates custom LED neon lights for the Newcastle and Hunter region. We offer a wide range of colours and styles, and our signs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Neon lights have been illuminating our streets and businesses for nearly a century, creating eye-catching signage and unique atmospheres. But beyond their classic glow, neon lights are enjoying a resurgence as a stylish and versatile signage option.

Why Choose Neon?

Visual Impact: Neon lighting is highly visible and instantly recognisable. Its soft glow and vivid colours can be seen from far away, making it perfect for shopfronts or hospitality venues wanting to stand out.

Customisable: Neon can be shaped into almost any design or lettering, giving you total freedom to reflect your brand or personal style.

Atmosphere: Neon lighting can transform a space, creating everything from retro nostalgia to a modern, artistic vibe.

Durability: Properly maintained neon signs can last many years, making them a worthwhile investment.

Where to Use Neon Signs

· Cafes and restaurants

· Bars and nightclubs

· Hair and beauty salons

· Retail shopfronts

· Events and weddings

· Home decor (such as a bedroom or games room feature)

If you’re going for a warm, welcoming atmosphere, neon is a fantastic choice.

LED Neon vs. Traditional Neon 

Modern LED neon flex products offer the same look as glass neon but with some advantages; they are lightweight, shatter resistant, and energy efficient. However, traditional glass neon still holds a special place for its authentic craftsmanship and vivid glow.
