Who We Are

Our small business is a 100% New Zealand owned-and-operated custom signage company. The business was started out of a need that we saw to provide affordable, high quality neon signage for all New Zealanders.

Today we specialise in providing bespoke solutions for businesses - and we are experts in designing for small and medium sized businesses around the country. We also create bespoke signs for weddings, events, and home decoration.

We design all our neon signs in-house from our neon studio in Wellington and ship NZ-wide via tracked courier.

All our signs include free shipping within New Zealand. International shipping rates apply for overseas orders.

FAQ's

Traditionally, neon signs were made from glass containing neon gas. However, technology has significantly improved and has provided an affordable and safer solution through the use of LED neon lights.

All our neons are hand crafted from eco-friendly LED. This means that not only is your sign far cheaper than traditional glass neon, but it is also brighter, more streamlined, and doesn’t hum like mosquito lamp around a camp fire....

Our neons are encased with a PVC cover, and their low voltage ensures that the case never overheats, and the power bill never hurts your pocket.

Also unlike traditional glass neon, we can add dimmers our lights meaning they are much more suitable to indoor use, and won't overwhelm your space. 

Most LED neon signs have a lifespan of 2 to 4 years,
depending on usage and maintenance.

Tips to Extend the Life of Your LED Neon Sign

  1. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity.
  2. Avoid Moisture. Keep the sign away from moisture and water unless it was
    specifically ordered as waterproof.
  3. Regular Cleaning. Dust and dirt can accumulate, reducing brightness. Clean
    your sign gently with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner.
  4. Avoid Overheating. Ensure proper ventilation and do not cover the sign. Avoid
    placing it near heat sources.
  5. Use a Surge Protector. Protect your sign from power surges and fluctuations to
    prevent electrical damage.

Check the LED Driver/Power Pack

The LED driver (or power pack) typically has a green light
indicator. If this light is off, the driver may not be functioning, which could
cause the sign to go out suddenly.

Limit Continuous Use

While LED signs are designed for long-term use, consider
turning them off when not needed to extend their lifespan.

Indicators That Your LED Neon Sign is nearing end-of-life

  • Flickering Lights 

If you notice flickering or inconsistent lighting, it may
indicate a failing component.

  • Dimness 

A significant reduction in brightness could signal that the LEDs are aging or malfunctioning.

  • Color Changes 

Unusual color shifts might suggest a problem with the LED chips or circuitry.

  • Physical Damage

Check for cracks or damage in the housing that could affect
performance.

  • Power Issues

 If the sign suddenly goes off, first check the LED driver/power pack. If the green light is off, it may need replacement.
