Now is the time to compare neon signs with another form of LED lighting. Prior to joining the pros and cons of both methods, as they are on their commercial use.
Let's see what it is LED and start with some information about them. The letters indicate LEDs. LEDwas used as a substitute for incandescent indicators, and displays laboratory equipment. Later it was used in televisions, watches, radios, calculators and indicators. It is only until recently that prices have fallen LED so that the customers for the sale to private and business customers. External lights and Christmas lights are a part of LED lighting products for your home. With the energy crisis in force and in some foreign countries looking for ways to reduce energy costs for LED lightingCompanies can probably look forward to a profitable future, when it comes to their products.
Now that we have a good knowledge of LED lighting, we can cite a comparison is right for neon signs, as the good and bad points of each. The basis of comparison is the use of two illumination techniques in advertising.
First, in terms of neon signs like this are taking advantage - they have a long service life, if used properly Neon has a very long rangeand run with very high voltages with an AC or DC, but not always require special power supplies, and these characters have a very low power consumption. A unique benefit enjoyed only by neon signs, is that they can be made in any form. This makes it very important advantage, the ability to be folded into shape make it ideal for use in advertising, clocks, and lighting for homes and businesses. Finally, it is convenient for small indicators, and decorative lighting.
Neon signs alsohave their drawbacks. They put a low power light for the network connection, only a small part of the spectrum of colors, one color at a time, requiring a large surface can be used for general lighting and expensive for general use as signs and displays .
The advantages of using LED lights are these - the U.S. Department of Energy says the cost of production of the LEDs on the decline, called the CEL in about 2013 of CFL, energy efficient, moreduration, greater durability and lower heat load in the room (an additional benefit of reduced energy consumption).
The disadvantages of the use of LED lighting is the light "hot" generated by the LEDs more expensive than light "cold", the LEDs are more expensive than some traditional concepts of lighting, limited choice and options, color quality, and lack of standardization of products.
The purpose of this article was to provide a number of problems relating to neon signs thatoften not known to the general public. What does the future hold for every type of lighting is difficult to predict. With respect to the material just presented, the most reasonable answer would be that both come in use for some time, but that could easily be improved designs and developments, which may or may develop, the changes in the economy or change in one of a series other factors. Both sectors have huge financial resources and will do everything possible to makereceive the largest share of the market signs.
Ultimately there are two key factors that will influence the character of the sector in terms of profits and investment. Companies want to take advantage of this method that works most successful for them. Account the future progress of technology in relation to any form of lighting, prices and other factors is crucial, and examination of the pros and cons of each. Another idea is that you draw betterResponse from buyers. This could be the deciding factor. Like all industries, these two competitors will certainly be looking at market research studies as a reliable guide to their decision. Each of these two systems together is one goal and that is equal to any other person or company, and that is to try to take the right decisions to bring more money and this is the name of the game.
