Neon for shops and window displays

A window sign does its hardest work during the hours you are closed. Someone walks past, sees your name, and knows where to go tomorrow.

Behind the glass or on the facade?

Behind the glass is almost always the smarter choice:

  • You usually need no permit, because it counts as indoor advertising
  • The sign stays dry, so a normal indoor build will do
  • You can move it without drilling into the facade
  • No risk of vandalism

On the facade it wins on visibility from across the street and from an angle. But in the Netherlands that usually means a planning permit for advertising, and there are rules about how far it may stick out and how bright it may be. Ring your council before you order.

Reflection in the window

Hang the sign straight behind the glass and during the day a passer-by mostly sees the street reflected back. Two fixes: set the sign back a little (20 to 40 cm already does a lot), or let the light hit the glass at an angle by turning the sign a few degrees.

How bright is bright enough?

On a shopping street with plenty of light around you, you need more than in a quiet one. Our standard ultra bright LEDs are more than enough in virtually every situation; you use the dimmer on the cable to turn it down, not to top it up.

Leave it on all night?

Technically that is fine — the LEDs manage around 50,000 burning hours. A timer or smart plug is more sensible: then it burns from dusk until about one in the morning, and that halves your consumption without anyone noticing.

From idea to light in three steps

No quoting process that drags on for weeks. You send us what you have in mind, we draw it up, and the moment you say yes the tube goes on the bending table.

Brand colour in neon for Flying Fish

With a beer brand the challenge is not the shape but the colour: a brand colour on paper is a very different thing from that same colour as light.

Neon built to survive a festival weekend

At a festival a neon sign is not decoration but equipment: it has to handle weather, transport, and thousands of people leaning on it for a photo.

Related questions

How quickly will my sign arrive in the Netherlands?

Three working days after you approve the design. We build your sign in our workshop in Heusden-Zolder and ship from there to your Dutch address. So yes, the parcel crosses a border — that is already counted in those three days.

Order on a Friday afternoon and approve on Monday morning and Thursday is your day. Sundays do not count.

What does shipping to the Netherlands cost?

Nothing. Shipping to any Dutch address is included. The Wadden Islands too, although those sometimes take a day longer.

What does a custom neon sign cost?

Most signs for the home land between € 180 and € 450. For a shopfront or a bar, expect € 400 to € 1,200 depending on width and letter count.

Price follows the metres of bent tube, not the number of characters. A short name in a heavy typeface costs more than a long sentence in a thin script. The design tool shows it live.

I only have my logo as a JPG. Is that a problem?

Send it over. We redraw your logo as a bendable path ourselves, and that is included in the price. A sharp JPG or PNG is enough; an SVG, AI or EPS just makes it faster.

What we cannot do is turn a photo with fifty gradients into neon. Neon is a line of light, not a print. The design mock-up shows you exactly what survives.

Do I see the design before you start?

Always. You get a to-scale design with dimensions. Nothing goes on the bending table until you say yes. That mock-up is free, even if you decide not to order.

How much power does a sign use?

Far less than people expect. A 60 cm sign draws roughly 12 to 20 watts — about the same as a compact fluorescent. Run it eight hours a day and at € 0.35 per kWh that is around € 20 a year.

One workshop, two sites

neonledsigns.nl is the Dutch site of neonled.be

Not a partnership, not a reseller, not a second company: it is the same business. The same workshop in Heusden-Zolder, the same bending table, the same people on the phone and the same signs.

We keep two sites because a Dutch customer asks different questions than a Belgian one — about iDEAL, about shipping across the border, about permits from their own council. Those answers belong where you go looking for them.
