LED Neon & LED Illuminated Signage

LED neon signs use flexible, silicone-encased LED tubing shaped into letters, logos, or artwork mounted on an acrylic backboard. The result is the familiar continuous "neon glow" outline — lightweight, easy to install, and ideal for interior brand walls, windows, and social media-oriented displays.

LED illuminated signs (such as channel letters, backlit logos, and lightboxes) are solid, dimensional structures made from acrylic or stainless steel with LED modules installed inside. They project off the wall as three-dimensional shapes and are the standard format for permanent exterior building signage, conveying architectural authority and brand permanence.

Absolutely — and many businesses do. A common and highly effective combination is LED illuminated channel letters for the exterior building facade (creating a strong, permanent brand presence from the street), paired with LED neon signage for interior brand walls, reception areas, or window displays. The two formats complement each other well and can be precision colour-matched to your brand guidelines. Our team can advise on the optimal combination for your space and budget.

Yes. Both LED neon signs and all five types of LED illuminated signage (front lit, backlit, front & back lit, fully illuminated 3D acrylic, and lightbox) can be manufactured with an IP67 waterproof rating, making them suitable for outdoor installation in all weather conditions, including rain, humidity, and temperature extremes. All outdoor signs are backed by our warranty. See our Outdoor Business Signs page for LED neon options, and Illuminated Signage page for channel letter options.

Both LED neon and LED illuminated signs are highly energy-efficient. LED neon consumes approximately 1.2 watts per foot/30cm of tubing. LED illuminated signs run at a comparable rate. Based on published operating cost estimates, running either type for 12 hours a day costs approximately £45–£60 per year in electricity — a fraction of the cost of older fluorescent or gas neon alternatives. See our LED Neon vs Illuminated Signage comparison.

For LED neon signs and illuminated signs mounted on a backing panel, installation is typically straightforward and can be completed without a licensed electrician. For individual channel letter signs installed directly to a building wall or fascia without a backing panel, a qualified electrician is required to complete the power connection.
