Today, LED and neon generally cost the same amount. That is they cost the same to manufacture and install the sign, but which is the better option. Here are some differences that will probably make this sound like a no brainer.

 LED lights are low voltage lighting, so they consume about 1/6th of the electrical consumption of neon. That can make a big difference over time in your electric bill.

As you probably know from all the new LED light systems coming out, LED lights last a long time. They are going to be more reliable over time. Neon lights will require more maintenance sooner.

 The power supplies for neon are very heavy and need to handle the higher voltages for the neon signs and they tend to need replacement sooner than the transformers in the LED signs.

LED lights maintain a bright consistent light over time. Neon signs will start to go dimmer over time, especially in colder weather.

 When LED lights go out it will generally be an individual light and it’s barely noticeable. It doesn’t take out the whole string of lights. When the neon lights go out it can take out the lighting in multiple letters at the same time.

 Neon and LED can both come in multiple colors now. LED used to be somewhat limited, but there are advances in additional colors now.
