What are the features of using neon lights?

Neon is a transliteration of neon light, a noble gas that emits a popular orange-red light, but other colors are produced with other gases, such as hydrogen (red), helium (pink), carbon dioxide (white), mercury vapor (.blue), etc. neon lights are the beauticians of the city. When night falls, the colorful neon lights make the city extraordinarily beautiful.

Why do we need neon lights?

The design, manufacture and installation of neon lights are now standardized, and they also achieve the same attractive landscape effects as LEDs. neon lights also have visual effect and artistic appeal. They use unique ways and forms to reflect the art of human striving for beauty in life. Moonlight, starlight and lights reproduce the natural or human landscape by day and the landscape effect by night.

What are the features of using neon lights?

1. High efficiency

neon lights rely on the electrode heads at both ends of the light to ignite the noble gas in the lamp tube under a high voltage electric field. It is different from ordinary light sources, which need to burn the tungsten wire to a high temperature to emit light, thereby consuming a large amount of electrical energy in the form of thermal energy. Therefore, neon lights have a higher brightness with the same amount of current.

2. Low temperature

Due to their cold cathode properties, neon lights can operate below a temperature of 60℃, so they can be placed in the open sun and rain or operated in the water. Also due to its working characteristics, the neon light spectrum has a strong penetrating power and can maintain a good visual effect even on rainy or foggy days.

What is the lighting principle of neon lights?

When the external power supply circuit is connected, the output port of the transformer generates a high voltage of several thousand volts or even tens of thousands volts. When this high voltage is applied to the electrodes at both ends of the neon tube, the charged particles in the neon tube are accelerated in the high voltage electric field and fly to the electrodes, which can excite and generate a large number of electrons. These excited electrons are accelerated in a high voltage electric field and collide with gas atoms in the tube. If the energy of these electrons colliding with the free gas atoms is large enough, the gas atoms can be ionized into positive ions and electrons, which is the ionization phenomenon of the gas. In the collision between the charged particles and the gas atoms, the excess energy is emitted in the form of photons, which completes the entire process of neon illumination.
