In recent years, LED neon lights have become popular due to their energy efficiency, durability, and versatility. In this blog article, we will explore the appearance of LED neon tubes when turned on and off, and discuss the advantages of using LED neon signs.
There are mainly two types of LED neon tubes:
The first type is the most commonly used tube, which is usually frosted white (semi-transparent color) when turned off, and displays various light source colors when turned on. This kind of neon tube has a brighter luminance when lit, as the tube is semi-transparent, allowing it to directly display various light colors to their best effect without being dazzling. Visually, the illuminated colors are more distinct and clean, and the light effect is completely consistent with traditional glass-made neon lights. The neon lights are easily visible from a distance, attracting attention. Due to their high brightness, their charm remains undiminished even under sunlight during the day. In a dark indoor environment with all lights turned off, the brightness can be adjusted through a dimmer to suit various atmospheres and warm the heart.
The second type is the colored tube, which displays the same color when turned off as the color it emits when lit. When LED neon lights are turned on, they emit a softer and more transparent glow. Due to their lower brightness, the tubes create a hazy effect, especially for dark colors such as blue, green, and magenta, making the light appear somewhat blurred.
As the first type of frosted white tube can be adjusted to any brightness level through a dimmer, the only advantage of the second type, the colored tube, is that it can display the shape of text content and patterns even when turned off.
From a designer's perspective, the first type of frosted white tube is more recommended because it can blend perfectly into various decorative styles without interfering with other color schemes. The light is clear and clean, and remains appealing even after a long time. This makes custom LED neon signs a great choice for businesses and homeowners looking to make a statement with their lighting.
