What to check before you order a neon sign
Before you click “buy”, pay attention to a few details that matter more than just the color of the sign.
- Type of neon. Most modern brands use flexible LED neon, which is lighter, safer and more energy-efficient than traditional glass neon.
- Warranty & support. Look for at least 12–24 months warranty and clear instructions on what happens if your sign arrives damaged.
- Shipping times & location. US-based or EU-based production usually means faster delivery and easier returns for those regions.
- Customization options. If you want your gamer tag, logo or bar name in neon, check whether the site offers an online design tool or free design proofs.
- Mounting & power. Confirm which mounting hardware is included and whether the power adapter matches your country’s plug and voltage.

How to compare prices and quality
Prices for LED neon signs can look very different at first glance. A small custom sign from a large brand might cost more than a similar sign from an independent maker, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Check the size in inches or centimeters. Product photos can be misleading. Always compare width/height, not just how it looks in the room mockup.
- Look at the included accessories. Some stores bundle dimmers, remote controls or installation hardware, while others sell them separately.
- Read real customer photos. On marketplaces, scroll to the “review photos” to see how the neon actually glows in real rooms.
- Consider shipping and potential import fees. A cheaper sign that ships from overseas may end up costing more if you pay customs or wait longer.
