Neon lights emitting characters, as a beautiful element of urban night scenery, are not only widely used in snack streets and characteristic cultural and tourism areas around the world, but also become an indispensable element in showcasing urban characteristics. Neon light emitting characters are mainly used for outdoor marketing signs,Outdoor shop signs, exterior welcome signs, sign outdoor advertising, etc. With the development of the times,Neon light emitting characters have undergone multiple technological innovations and market changes, from the initial production of glass tubes to the current LED neon light strips.
Looking back at history, the Night City of Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s was one of the representatives of neon lights. At that time, neon lights were mainly made of glass tubes fired and artificially bent, becoming a unique landscape in Hong Kong's night sky. Hong Kong, on the other hand, was a time when there were over 100 court officials. However, with the advancement of technology and the development of society, LED neon light strips are gradually emerging, quickly seizing the market with their lower costs, higher safety, and better environmental protection.
Nowadays, with the development of the advertising industry and the improvement of public aesthetics, the production methods of neon light emitting characters are also constantly innovating. At present, the mainstream neon light strips on the market can be roughly divided into three generations:
The first generation of neon luminous characters generally used integrated light strips, which were wrapped in silicone inside and had weak styling ability. The wiring was simple and rough. This production method has a lower cost and is suitable for simple fonts or patterns.
The second-generation neon light emitting characters are mainly slotted on the lamp base plate, embedded in the lamp strip, and fixed with adhesive strips, which can be cut according to the design. This production method is more flexible and can achieve more complex designs.
The third-generation neon light emitting characters are cast in an integrated manner, with the shading plate slotted and the panel cast, similar to the resin character effect. This production method has a higher cost, but can achieve more three-dimensional and realistic effects.
With the continuous innovation and improvement of neon light emission technology, its application in urban night scenes and characteristic cultural and tourism areas is becoming increasingly widespread. Whether it's old-fashioned glass tube neon lights or modern LED neon light strips, they light up the city's nights with their unique charm, becoming one of the symbols for people to pursue beautiful times.
