I'm a proud New Yorker. And I hung this on my office wall behind me so it shows up in my video calls and meetings. It looks great in my background and I get a lot of comments about it. Call it good natured office ribbing. ;)I like that this is officially licensed and uses the correct official font. It is USB-A powered and has an inline on/off rocker switch in the cord. It did not come with a USB power plug, and there is no way to adjust the brightness. If there is a downside, it's that this neon is a little brighter than I like, but not enough to be a deal killer.The light is supplied by well diffused LED strips (not actual neon). Quality is good. It feels solid like it will last for years. Recommended.

Well made LED version of a neon sign. The bright lighted sign expresses love of New York City in bold, contrasting colors. The twelve by twelve inch sign can be wall mounted or stand displayed. Great gift idea!

I've never felt so officially in love with New York until I plugged this sign in. Bright red heart, glowing white letters-this thing screams "Times Square gift shop at 2 a.m." but in the best possible way.It's USB powered, so I can light it up straight from my laptop, phone charger, or whatever mysterious power brick I found in my junk drawer. No adapter included, but that's fine-because if you can survive navigating the MTA, you can figure out how to power a sign.The 12" x 12" acrylic backboard feels solid, and it even comes with hooks so you can hang it proudly in your bedroom, office, or right next to your overpriced bagels for maximum NYC authenticity.Pros:- Radiates Big Apple vibes without the smell of hot dog water.- Small enough for an apartment the size of a shoebox.- Lets everyone know you love NY without buying an "I ♥ NY" t-shirt at LaGuardia.Cons:- Doesn't light up the subway tunnels.- Might confuse guests into thinking you've been to New York more than once.Final Thought:This is the kind of sign that makes your home feel like a Broadway marquee... even if the only show playing is you binging Law & Order reruns.

This is a beautiful, official "I Heart NY" neon sign. As someone who owns a few neon signs, this is one of the better ones out there.Firstly, this is well-made. The quality of plastic and light is solid. The size is 12" x 12", which can hang right on a gallery wall. Second, the image adds a graphic pop to any room.If there was one thing I could change, I wish I could change the brightness level. You can't make it brighter or dimmer. It's one brightness setting. It's a good setting, giving a vibrant glow without being overwhelming. But let's say you want this sign in a video, the brightness might throw off your lighting and make the overall image uneven. If you want it in your gallery wall, it might be too bright and stand out too much. Having a brightness setting would've definitely been a plus. 4.5 stars, really.Overall, when lit, this looks nice and official, and it will definitely show you're a fan of NY.

I have been a collector of anything neon and am always looking to add to my collection that I have hanging in our garage. I have also been to New York City a few times and this was a great way to combine both my passion for travel, neon and collecting. This little neon sign is a perfect way to add to the collection without having to spend a lot of money. The sign is a simple 12x2 square and it is lightweight and easy to hang. I was able to hang it up using a small screw into our drywall and did not need an anchor. Once hanged you simply plug it in and enjoy the view. There is no loud hum the way that older neons used to have and you don't have to worry about breaking the delicate tubes like the old days. The materials feel sturdy enough for indoor use, and I don’t worry about it being too fragile when moving it. It gives off enough light to set a relaxing glow in the garage without being overpowering and should you decide to move it you can easily remove it and place in another location the way you would a picture frame. The added bonus is that it’s an officially licensed New York-themed memento. We love having this in our collection!
