imitation Acrylic Tubular Neon Signs

In the past decade, the authentic neon signage landscape has witnessed a transformative innovation with the widely popular introduction of LED-style imitation neon signs. These contemporary alternatives to traditional authentic glass neon signs have gained widespread momentum in the signage industry. Offering a plethora of options, these neon-inspired signs have become trendsetters across various industries.

iSpace, distinguished as a premium multi-award winning designer and manufacturer of bespoke signage is at the forefront of this NEON LED revolution. As technology evolves, iSpace's innovative LED neon signs stand out in the visual communication world. The bespoke luxury “imitation LED Neon” signs crafted by iSpace exude elegance and opulence, effortlessly blending a modern aesthetic with a vintage charm with a retro vibe and vibrant aesthetics.

It's crucial to distinguish between two types of tubular neon signage: Luxury LED imitation Neon, fabricated with a metal base and LED lights powered by a dedicated power source, and LED Neon Flex, encased in a rubber pipe, notorious for quick burnouts due to inadequate heat dispersion. iSpace advises against the latter, known in the industry as "cheap and nasty" due to its short lifespan.

Known as Acrylic Neon signs / Acrylic Neon-looking letters / New LED Neon letters / LED Neon effect letters - call them what you wish - you need to be very aware of the cheap versions. These are short-term neon look-a-like signage and will not last. Don’t be fooled.

The process of making a luxury LED imitation Neon:

iSpace's modern neon signs are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, with the highest quality finish in manufacturing, ensuring a stunning and authentic appearance. Luxury imitation LED Neon also called (acrylic neon cylinder-shaped front-lit letters) are fabricated out of a base unit that houses the LED lighting in a very shallow metal channel which is 10mm high. The acrylic which starts off as square shaped, is laser cut to perfection and then carefully shaved down by hand into a tubular configuration to emulate a tube of neon glass. They have a tubular presence with a polished glossy-looking smooth surface, and a very neat tidy look.  The circular tubular acrylic section is then fitted into the base metal section which houses the LED lighting. The result is a luxury imitation LED Neon sign that looks very similar to authentic neon glass tubing capturing an extremely bright lighting glow, however, the glow is not exactly identical to real neon glass tubing with noble gases.

The main advantage of this style of luxury imitation LED neon is the glass breakage factor, they don’t break like glass neon signs which is glass neon signs biggest shortfall.  The LED Neon is exceptionally durable compared to very fragile glass, thus LED Neon exhibits increased robustness. The wiring can be more disguised and less noticeable as neon signs are wired where the glass electrodes need to be joined and often become quite a messy look. With the luxury imitation Led Neon we can achieve a much neater-looking sign that emulates neon with a more modern twist.

There are some other advantages of imitation LED Neon vs traditional authentic neon glass:

• The main difference is that you don’t see the way the neon is painted black block-out sections, the unwanted glass tubing between letters.
• The LED lighting can last longer than Neon lighting, longer lifespan.
• LED lighting is more energy efficient cheaper to run, saving dollars to your electricity bill.
