Are Neon Signs Dangerous? This is a common question, but Neon and argon gas by themselves are not dangerous;they are inert. As with standard fluorescent tubes, the minute droplets of mercury present in some colors are safe as long as the tube is not broken.
Usually it is distributors who purchase those items from the brewery and then give them to their clients to advertise their portfolio, and in turn, hopefully generate more sales.
Generally, signs made from 1940 to 1960 are more valuable than those that were mass-produced during the 1980s. The most valuable signs were often produced for individual bars or taverns because they feature a beer brand along with the name of a local business.
The majority of vintage neon signs sell for under $200, but certain special examples can be worth much more.
As an owner of a neon sign you may be aware of just how fragile neon signs can be. These lights contain gasses that are encased in glass which can be easily broken if handled incorrectly, but yes they can be repaired, by a professional.
Removing Stains and Grime For stains and grime, mix ½ cup of household ammonia with ½ cup of water in a plastic container. Next, dampen a cloth with the mixture and wring out any excess. Gently rub out any stains or grime from the surface of your signs . The polymer coating makes it easier to clean LED.
To make other colors, the inside of the glass tubes are coated in powder; blue powder with neon , for example, produces a pink neon sign , while a green tube would turn orange. Neon signs are expensive to make and power, they break easily and are hard to replace, and they are fire hazards as well.
Argon filled tubes do contain a very small amount of mercury vapour, which someone would only be exposed to if the neon tube broke . Exposure to mercury vapour only becomes harmful if it happens over a prolonged period of time.

Neon lighting consists of brightly glowing , electrified glass tubes or bulbs that contain rarefied neon or other gases. A high potential of several thousand volts applied to the electrodes ionizes the gas in the tube, causing it to emit colored light . The color of the light depends on the gas in the tube.
