FAQs
Can I see some signs Neon Mood has recently made?
What are LED neon signs made of?
Our LED neon signs are made from proprietary PVC molding technology, and are mounted on high quality acrylic as backing (unless ordered to other specifications).
Do LED Neon signs consume a lot of Energy?
Our LED neon signs produce relatively no heat, are energy-efficient, and are less expensive compared to traditional glass tube neon. LED neon signs look almost identical to traditional neon ones but are much more flexible which in turn help us get a lot of customisation into your designs. One other important advantage of LED neon signs is that its colours can be changed, and a variety of effects and patterns can be programmed into the product.
Can you use LED Neon signs outdoors?
Yes, we can produce waterproof versions for outdoor events and for outdoor permanent installation. Please specify that you’d like your sign to be made for the outdoors when you submit your custom order inquiry, or choose it directly (for Outdoors) on our Custom Text product page.
What’s the typical lead time for custom orders?
All orders are made by hand in our own international production facility with the utmost care and attention to detail. We produce in 1 to 3 days and deliver within 7 days.
How do you power the LED neon signs?
All of our signs connect directly into a standard power socket (with a plug that’s specific to the country you’re shipping to) and it comes with a 12V transformer.
How long do LED neon signs last?
LED neon lights tend to last a minimum of 30,000 hours. That is equivalent to 10 years if you turn on an LED neon sign for 10 hours per day. This lifespan is 3 times longer than traditional gas neon signs. Normally if there is a problem it’s usually the transformer that fails, however these are replaceable items and we can supply replacements if necessary, and if within the warranty period.
Does it require any maintenance?
Not at all. LED is environmentally friendly and maintenance free.
INSTALLATION:
What’s the length of the power cord?
The cord connecting the LED neon sign to the dimmer box is 1.8 meters (6ft) long and is encased with a clear coating. There is an additional 1.2 meters (4ft) of cord connecting the dimmer box to the power adapter, and another 1 meter (3ft) connecting the power adapter to your plug. In total it’s nearly 4 meters (13ft) from the LED neon sign to your power plug.
How safe are LED neon signs?
Our LED neon signs are only 12V so run at a much safer voltage than traditional neon. Because of its low output voltage, no heat will be generated on the outer surface even after long hours of operation.
Will my neon sign require any specialist installation?
The majority of LED neon signs we supply are for internal use, and come mounted on an acrylic panel (making them easily portable), complete with a normal mains plug which can be plugged into an accessible plug socket. The sign simply needs to be fixed onto the wall, or suspended from a chain that we can supply as an optional accessory. LED neon signs for permanent external use, and some large internal LED neon signs, will require specialist installation.
For standard wall installation we recommend using these strips
ORDERING:
What does the warranty cover?
We offer a 24 month guarantee on materials and workmanship on all of our LED neon signs. However, this guarantee does not extend to any damage that may occur as a result of incorrect installation or physical damage during usage.

Can you use any font or design to create an LED Neon Sign?
Yes, however some fonts and designs work better than others, like script and sans-serif fonts. We will recommend only monoline (equal width) fonts due to the type of tubing we are using. Calligraphy/brush styles can’t be replicated precisely. We are more than happy to advise and assist with your ideas.
How much does a custom sign cost?
Sign cost varies depending on sign size and design complexity. Use the Custom Text product page to get a price, or email our team at contact@neon-mood.nl

Is there a minimum size that you need to work to?
We tend to work to a minimum letter height of around 10cm (4 inches), as we find that letters have better definition at this size. It is possible to make letters smaller than this, but larger letters tend to display better. Generally, this also means we offer a minimum sign size of 50cm, and usually work up to a maximum of 300cm - however, email our team at contact@neon-mood.nl if you have additional questions regarding size considerations.
Can I get a mockup of my design?

Sizing
We always aim to make your design into an LED neon sign as accurate as possible. Due to the complexity of some designs, smaller sizes (50cm - 75cm) may not always be possible; where this is the case we’ll reach out to you and offer alternatives.
Big Signs
In certain instances larger signs need to be cut into two for shipment purposes, this is to avoid any damage during transport. This won't affect the overall appearance of your LED neon sign; when a sign needs to be cut in two we’ll contact you for confirmation, or to explore the possibility of producing the sign in a smaller size.

All our pieces are made by hand to order, meaning each one is as unique as you!
For fully custom/bespoke pieces we can't accept cancellation or returns after payment due to change of mind unfortunately, as all pieces are one off made to order. All sales are final once placed on site. If your piece is faulty or has any error, of course we can accept a return or replacement for you.
For pre-set designed signs, we can accept a return within 14 days of receipt if the product is unused and is in the same condition and packaged like when it was first received.

Import Fees/Duties
Orders to some countries outside of the Netherlands may be subject to import fees/duties and taxes when delivery takes place. This depends on which country you are ordering from and also how big/heavy the piece is. This fee is generally 5-10% of the purchase price.
This is standard procedure for any item bought online and is entirely out of our hands - many orders won't be subject to import fees, but for those that are, please be aware that these fees are the responsibility of the customer and are not covered by Neon Mood.
