Boardsy’s LED neon signs are different than the traditional ones. Boardsy personalised LED products connect to a standard UK plug and include remote control for colour and brightness adjustment.
Why LED Neon Is Different From Traditional Neon
Traditional neon signs use glass tubes filled with noble gases (typically neon or argon) energised by high voltage to produce coloured light. They are fragile, produce significant heat, contain hazardous materials and require specialist installation and disposal. LED neon signs uses flexible silicone tubing with LED strip lighting inside, operating at twelve to twenty-four volts rather than thousands of volts, producing very little heat, containing no hazardous materials and requiring no specialist installation. The visual effect mimics traditional neon but the safety profile is completely different.
Bedroom Use: Practical Considerations
For bedroom use, the practical considerations are brightness and colour temperature rather than safety. A sign that produces a very bright white output in a dark room will be disruptive if left on during sleep. RGB products allow the brightness to be reduced to a very dim level and the colour temperature to be set to a warm amber tone, which makes them far more suitable for bedroom use in the evening than a fixed bright white output. Many buyers use their bedroom LED sign at low brightness as a decorative ambient feature light rather than a functional light source.
Home Bar Use: Full Brightness Is Appropriate
For home bars and gaming rooms where the sign is part of the atmospheric lighting of the space, full brightness and RGB colour cycling are typically appropriate and create exactly the kind of visual atmosphere these spaces are designed to produce. The visual effect of a personalised sign at full brightness in a dimly lit home bar environment is the primary design feature of the space.
