Regardless of whether you own a traditional or LED neon sign, following these maintenance tips can help you extend its lifespan:
Regular Cleaning: Dust and dirt can accumulate on the surface of neon signs, reducing their brightness and potentially causing damage. Clean your sign regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking its best.
Check Electrical Components: For traditional neon signs, regularly inspect the transformer and electrodes for signs of wear. For LED neon signs, ensure that the power supply and connections are secure.
Avoid Overheating: Ensure that your sign is not placed in an area where it could overheat, such as near a heat source or in direct sunlight. Overheating can shorten the lifespan of both traditional and LED neon signs.
Turn Off When Not in Use: If possible, turn off your neon sign when it’s not in use. This will reduce wear on the electrical components and extend the overall lifespan of the sign.
Protect from Moisture: If your sign is installed outdoors or in a humid environment, take steps to protect it from moisture. For traditional neon signs, consider using weatherproof casings. For LED neon signs, ensure they are rated for outdoor use.
