How Do Neon Lights REALLY Work..

[@Dahstin]

I just received two cool Neon signs from a restaurant that was shut down, no one wanted them so now I have them. They are a bit large, lightweight, and fully functional. The colors are red green white purple and turquoise. I believe they are at least 10 years old. They are bright and amazing. One says Hibachi & Sushi, the other says Teriyaki Chicken.... Score!!!!

Hell yeah dude! There’s nothing like a legit neon sign. What color are they when they are turned off? If any tube is clear when it is turned off, that means it’s a noble gas mixture without phosphor. If a tube is off, but it’s the color it is when it’s on, that means it has phosphor.

Cool vid, couple of remarks: - Voltage isn't a measure of power consumption; Watts is. - LED arrays can display 3D content if you make the array three-dimensional.

This is a very good video

awesome, informative vid

1. Volts are not power, Watts are. 15kV at 0.001A uses less power than 3v at 10A. 2. You showed a LOT of stock videos of LEDs, not neon tubes, while talking about neon tubes.

volts alone don't tell anything about energy consumption. a lot of this video didn't really come across as informative about anything. just a lot of words, as if created by AI

As a nerd I prefer plasma over the L-word. I will not use cheap chinese L** lamps.

I still prefer CCFL tubes over LED lights. LED strips are lame.... You need a diffuser but you can still see the individual LED's That's why my future ps4 pro case mod will get CCFL tubes instead of LED lighting. Just like I did back in the day with my ps2 case mod. We didn't even have LED strips back then.😂 And CCFL tubes give a nice and uniform glow. You can't change colors with a remote but it sure does look better! is anyone still doing CCFL case mods with game consoles these days? I know from experience it was very popular in the early 2000's. But when I google CCFL neon mods on ps4 and ps5 I can't find any.😅 I can find clay sculptures built around those consoles but that's not my thing. Neon mods are way cooler imo!😁 My ps4 pro will get blue and pink CCFL tubes.
