Can I make my sign flash (on and off)?
 
You may order your sign with a flashing transformer, which allows you to either have the sign on all the time, or have it flash. It also allows you to adjust the flashing speed.  If you have a larger sign with multiple transformers you will have to purchase an external flashing box (call for quote and details). 
 
How much does it cost to operate my neon sign?
 
Neon signs are extremely efficient. The reason they look so bright is because all of the output is focused within a small wavelength band of light. On average a neon open sign uses less than power than a 75 watts light bulb. Average cost to operate your neon sign is only about 20 cents per day (if you operate it 24 hours per day).
 
Can I get a dimmer for my sign?
 
You may order your sign with a dimmable transformer. These transformers have a knob next to the on-off pull chain which allows you to adjust the brightness of the sign.  It is important that you do not use any other dimming device (such as a light dimmer you can buy at your hardware store) as it may damage your transformer, cause your sign to fail, and possibly create a fire hazard.

More Neon Info........
 
Although there are now more than 150 neon colors possible by combining different gases like Krypton, xenon and helium, two favorites remain -- a fiery orange-red neon gas called Ruby Red and a soft lavender argon gas that turns a brilliant blue when enhanced with a drop or two of mercury. 
 
We often think of the bright Neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip, but in neon first years, neon signs stopped traffic as people stared in fascination. The so-called "Liquid Fire" captivated the public and it wasn't long before neon was everywhere. Theater marquee, night club and restaurant signs became an integral part of the streamlined American landscape.
 
Neon soon became the light of America. The technology was able to create more colors and by the 1950's both pink and turquoise started to cover drive-ins, diners and boy's ruffled tuxedo shirts for Prom night.
 
By the 1960's bright plastic signs began to appear and neon's blazing lights, suddenly considered tacky, faded across the nation. During the 70's a new breed of neon craftspeople emerged; these people expanded the realm of neon from advertising signs into the world of art. Artists learned to use neon tubing to express their visions.  Just take a walk down the Las Vegas Strip and you'll see that the results are nothing less than breath-taking!
