Frequently Asked Questions About LED Neon Signs

We've been crafting custom neon signs since 2018. Since then, we've created over 7,000 signs for everyone from bedroom makeovers to major brands like Nike, RedBull, and Lululemon. We specialize in LED neon and also offer traditional glass tube neon for those seeking the authentic vintage look.

Our signs are UL & CSA certified, meeting the same electrical safety standards required for commercial buildings. They stay cool to touch even after hours of use, making them safe for homes and businesses alike. Every sign comes with a one-year warranty because we stand behind our work – if something goes wrong, we fix it or replace it.

Installation is straightforward: plug it in, hang it up, and you're done. No electrician needed. Our LED neon technology uses 80% less energy than traditional glass neon, so you can leave your sign on 24/7 without worrying about your electricity bill. With a lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours, these signs are built to last decades.

We exclusively produce custom LED neon signs. LED neon signs utilize energy-efficient LEDs encased in flexible silicone, making them durable and safer than traditional glass neon signs, which are made from fragile glass tubes filled with neon or argon gas. LED signs are brighter, cost-effective to operate, and offer greater durability and color variety. They're easier to install and maintain, providing a more versatile and environmentally friendly option for modern lighting needs.

Yes! Our LED neon signs are listed and certified to ensure the highest standard of safety and quality, carrying the legally required approval mark to be used across the country. Our signs have undergone rigorous testing by International Testing Laboratory and meet the strict requirements set forth by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association). This means you can trust that our LED neon signs are safe for both home and commercial use. Using non-certified electric signs can cause safety hazards and/or liability issues.

Select from 10 available colors for your LED neon sign: White, Warm White, Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, and RGB. You can mix and match different colors across the sign to create something truly unique. Send us your design and we'll show you what's possible!

Yes! Upon request, we can weatherproof our single-color or multi-color LED neon signs at extra charges so they can be used in outdoor environments. Please note that outdoor signs won't be equipped with dimmer nor remote control as those accessories can't be waterproofed. Our outdoor LED neon signs enjoy a 1-year warranty period.

Our production facilities spread across Canada, the US, Europe and Asia. Orders are routed to the most suitable facility based on the requirement and location. Most importantly, our signs are certified and made to meet CSA and UL standards governing electric signs. Quality and safety are non-negotiable for us.

At Neonific, we offer free design services to all our customers. If you're looking for something unique, feel free to send us your own design and we'll work with you to bring it to life. Whether you have a complete design file or just a rough sketch, our team will help make it glow!

Absolutely! Custom designs are what we do best. Send us your artwork, logo, favorite quote, business name, or even a napkin sketch – we'll transform it into a stunning LED neon sign. Every sign we create is made specifically for you, in your chosen size, color, and style.

We work with all kinds of files! Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) are ideal, but high-resolution images (PNG or JPEG at 300 DPI) work great too. Even if you just have a hand-drawn sketch or a photo of something you like, send it over – our design team can work with anything.

Definitely! We love turning company logos into neon signs. Most logos translate beautifully. If your logo has extremely intricate details, we might need to simplify it slightly since the LED tubing has a minimum bending radius, but we'll work with you to keep your brand identity intact.

Neonific offers custom neon signs with standard backboard options at no extra charge: contoured ("cut-to-shape") ideal for cursive fonts, and rectangular for block fonts. Additionally, we provide a variety of backboard styles including stands and boxes, available in multiple colors and finishes such as mirrored or glitter. For a minimalistic approach, we also offer a hollow-out ("cut-to-letter") option for the least visible backing. For any special requests outside our regular offerings, contact us to discuss availability!

Our LED Neon comes in thicknesses of 6/8/9/10mm, with minimum letter heights of roughly 3-4 inches (7.6-10.2 cm) for standard fonts and 4-5 inches (10.2-12.7 cm) for cursive styles. For custom signs larger than 7 feet 8 inches by 3 feet 11 inches (2.34 m x 1.19 m), they'll be produced on two or more backboards. This ensures safer shipping and helps us offer the best price, all while allowing for straightforward assembly. Contact us at support@neonific.com for 1-on-1 support.

The minimum letter height is approximately 3-4 inches for standard fonts and 4-5 inches for cursive styles, depending on the LED tube thickness. This ensures your sign is bright, readable, and structurally sound.

Consider your viewing distance and available space. For home use, measure your wall and think about proportions. For businesses, bigger is usually better – customers need to see it from a distance. As a general rule: the farther away viewers will be, the larger your sign should be. Not sure? Send us a photo of your space and tell us your goals – we'll recommend the perfect size.

Signs larger than 7 feet 8 inches by 3 feet 11 inches (2.34 m x 1.19 m) are produced on two or more backboards for safer shipping and better pricing. Don't worry – assembly is straightforward and we provide clear instructions. The sections connect seamlessly.

Yes! You can mix and match different colors across your sign. Want "HELLO" in pink and "WORLD" in blue? No problem! Send us your design ideas and we'll create a vibrant, multi-color masterpiece for you.

We ship with reliable couriers such as UPS, DHL, FedEx, and customers will receive tracking number(s) once the order is dispatched. If you require your order to be delivered by a certain date, please let us know so we can plan accordingly. Most other in-stock products are shipped within 1 to 2 business days and usually delivered within 2 weeks.

The current lead time for orders is approximately 8 to 15 business days, depending on design complexity and quantity. Once the order is confirmed, it takes 1 to 4 days to assemble the sign. Once completed, delivery takes an additional 3 to 8 business days. Please note, while we strive to deliver as quickly as possible, supply chain disruptions may occasionally extend these times.

Yes, we ship our products all over the globe. Free worldwide shipping is included in the price for all of our products. We've sent signs to customers across North America, Europe, Australia, and beyond!

Shipping is free site-wide and worldwide. Depending on your location, brokerage and duty charges may apply. We always pay these fees for our customers, however in some circumstances, you might end up with an unexpected bill. If this is the case, simply send us photo proof of the duties amount at support@neonific.com with your order number and we will refund you the amount charged immediately.

First, track your order from our Tracking page to see its current status. If there's an issue or you can't locate your package, call us at our hotline or email support@neonific.com with your order number. We'll investigate immediately and make it right.

We package every sign like it's precious cargo (because it is!). Your sign gets nestled in custom-cut foam, wrapped in protective bubble wrap, and placed in a sturdy shipping box. We add fragile labels and "This Side Up" stickers. Even though LED neon is way more durable than glass neon, we take zero chances with your investment.

If you notice any damage, take photos immediately and contact us at support@neonific.com within 48-72 hours with your order number. We insure every shipment and will either send replacement parts or create a whole new sign at no cost to you. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Two methods are available: (1) Wall Mounting Kit for a secure wall display or (2) Suspension Kit for an eye-catching hanging effect. Both methods ensure your sign shines brilliantly in its designated space. Choose the best method to suit your aesthetic and spatial needs. Installing is simple – we provide all necessary hardware and detailed instructions.

Nope! Our signs simply plug into any standard wall outlet – no electrician required. That said, if you want the sign hardwired into your electrical system (hiding all wires inside the wall), or if you're installing a large outdoor commercial sign, you might want to hire a pro. But for 95% of our customers, it's a simple DIY job taking under 15 minutes.

Every Neonific sign includes appropriate mounting hardware for its size and weight – typically screws, wall anchors, chains, or standoffs. We also include detailed installation instructions with photos. Everything arrives ready to install; you just need a drill and maybe a screwdriver.

Our signs mount on virtually any wall surface – drywall, wood, brick, concrete, tile, you name it. The mounting technique varies slightly: drywall needs anchors (which we provide), brick needs masonry screws, wood is easiest. If you're unsure about your wall type, just ask us for specific guidance.

Maintaining your LED neon signs is crucial for their longevity and continued brilliance:

Regularly dust your sign with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup. For thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the sign is turned off and unplugged during cleaning. Check connections periodically to ensure they're secure and not showing signs of wear. To conserve energy and extend the life of your sign, switch it off when not needed. Avoid placing the sign in direct sunlight, excessive moisture, or near heat sources to prevent damage.

These maintenance tips will keep your LED neon sign looking vibrant and functioning effectively for years.

Easy! First, unplug your sign. Then use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe down the tubes and backing. Don't use harsh chemicals, rough scrubbers, or spray water directly on it. A quick dusting every few months keeps it looking brand new.

Very little! LED neon signs use about 80% less electricity than old-school glass neon. A typical Neonific sign uses somewhere between 10-50 watts – about the same as a regular light bulb. You can run your sign all month for just a few dollars in electricity. It's incredibly affordable to operate.

Absolutely! Our signs are designed for continuous operation and can safely run 24/7. Many businesses leave theirs on around the clock. That said, if you want to extend the lifespan even further and save a bit on electricity, turning it off when you're not around is fine too.

Our LED neon signs run on safe, low voltage – typically 12V or 24V DC. This low voltage comes from a transformer (power adapter) that plugs into your regular 110V-240V wall outlet. The low voltage means they're incredibly safe – no risk of dangerous electrical shock.

Yes! All Neonific signs come with universal power adapters that work with electrical systems worldwide (110V-240V). Whether you're in Canada, the US, Europe, Australia, or anywhere else, just plug it in and you're good to go.

Many of our signs come with a remote control for power, brightness levels, flashing capabilities, and speed adjustments, giving you complete control over your sign's look and feel. If you want dimmer capability, let us know when ordering. Note that outdoor weatherproof signs can't be equipped with dimmers or remote controls as those accessories can't be waterproofed.

Definitely! Just plug your Neonific sign into any standard outlet timer (available at any hardware store). Set it to turn on and off automatically – perfect for business hours, saving energy at night, or creating ambiance at specific times.

We offer a 1-year warranty for all our products. Our warranty provides a guarantee against manufacturer defects on the electrical components. All our products are subject to robust quality control. It does not cover blows, improper use, or other issues that are not attributable to manufacturer defects. In the event that our products are damaged during delivery, please reach out to us immediately and we will offer a replacement at no cost to you.

Yes, our Infinity Mirrors come with a one-year warranty on the electrical components, just like our neon signs.

Our LED neon signs are built to last 50,000 to 100,000 hours! If you use your sign 8 hours daily, that's 17-34 years of glowing goodness. We use premium LEDs and quality components to ensure your Neonific sign becomes a long-term part of your space.
