LED Neon Signs has similar brightness as Neon Glass Signs, but is cheaper due to the use of silicon tubes.
Low impact
Bright but chaotic look
Visual Appeal
High impact
Clean and bright visual impact
LED Neon signs are the modern-day trend of lighting up every location, making it warm and welcoming with its consistent glow. At the same time, Neon Glass may seem too cluttered with visible tubes, wires, and transformer, which may degrade the visual impact of the wall in daylight.

High - cost
High upfront cost
Cost-effective
Low - cost
Low upfront cost
Neon LED signs cost 30% less than traditional Neon Glass sign and still able to provide a similar classic look. Hence making neon LED signs a more affordable choice to light up any business or personal space.
Fragile and breakable
Delicate Glass tube with inert gas.
Material
Flexible and firm
Silicone tube with led strip in it
LED Neon sign, on the other hand, is made of solid moldable silicone tubes. Neon LED signs can be managed effortlessly without any risk of breakage or heating up, which may be the case with Neon Glass Signs due to the use of a delicate glass tube.

Bit noisy
Bit of humming sound
Buzzing
Noiseless
No disturbing sound
Bit of buzzing noise can be heard from Neon Glass signs, which may be disturbing to a few people near it, whereas there is no kind of buzzing sound produced by LED Neon signs.
Less durable
10,000 hours of lifespan
Durability
Highly durable
50,000 hours of lifespan
LED LED Neon made of high-quality flame retardant Silicon, which can be firmly handled and does not shatter easily like fragile glass tubes. LED Neon expected to run for 100,000 hours, much more than traditional neon glass (50,000).
Risky to use
Hazardous due to heat and toxin gases
Safety
Secure to use
Immune to hazards and safe to touch
LED Neon sign has no issue of emitting heat, shock, or any hazards. In contrast, neon glass, high voltage, has a risk of breakage and exposing surrounding with harmful elements like mercury and phosphor.
High energy consumption
The input voltage of 3KV-18KV
Energy Efficiency
Low energy consumption
Voltage of 24V/120V
Neon LED sign energy consumption is the voltage of 24V/120V, whereas input voltage on Neon Glass is 3KV-18KV; consequently, Glass Sign adding cost toll on your monthly electricity bill.
Difficult installation
May need professional help to install glass sign
Installation
Easy installation
Easy to hang or wall mount the sign.
LED Neon Signs are easy to hang or wall mount, can be done in a few minutes. On the other hand, Neon Glass signs are weighty and delicate, may need professional help to install the sign.
High power usage
High maintenance cost
Maintenance
Low power usage
Low maintenance cost
“Low Power usage, Less electricity cost” LED Neon uses 15x less electricity than Neon Glass Sign, eventually costing you less in the long run.
