Frenchman Georges Claude, an industrial chemist invented neon signs and advertised them at the Paris Motor Show in 1910. They made their way to America in 1923 when Earle C. Anthony paid an exorbitant amount for a pair of neon lights. ‘Neos’ is Greek terminology that means ‘the new gas’. The title is apt considering the fact that these lights made their appearance much later than traditional electric bulbs and other forms of industrial lighting. In its initial stages neon signs were available in hues of red. Gradually the use of other gases such as mercury, krypton, xenon, carbon dioxide, phosphor and helium helped create multi colored neon lights. There are more than 150 colors to choose from today.
For manufacturers who offer a range of high quality neon signs, it is difficult to quote the best price for a product without considering past performances and other market research. This allows them to juggle prices. When discussing best neon signs, the issue can be contentious. This is because, the concept of ‘best’ tends to differ depending upon individual needs. However a few factors remain the same when shopping for neon signs. This includes price factors and the reason they are needed.
Consumers should enquire about types, sizes and know what they want rather than get influenced by the complex offers. It is important to know the available warranty, extended warranties and purchase outlets. This can easily be determined by indulging in comparison-shopping. It allows buyers to compare products, prices and features. Buyers also need to be attentive to size and weight factors. Others may find the best deals through wholesale purchases. The perception of ‘best’ also varies depending upon the business type. This includes neon signs for bar lighting, advertising, displays, payday loan signs, ATM signs and custom neon signs.
