A neon sign is a lighting display made of glass tubes filled with gas and bent into the shape of letters or decorative designs. These neon signs can be as simple as a small advertising sign or as complex as a multi-story facade on a Las Vegas casino.

Customized Words and Phrases
There is a popular saying that out of sight is out of mind. There are some words and phrases such as affirmations or quotes that we need to constantly think about and remind ourselves. However, we can easily forget about them if we don't see them often.
It's a great idea to get these words and phrases customized and placed in a conspicuous space that we can easily see. This will serve as a constant reminder.
For example, you can install a neon sign with the words “I am beautiful” or “I love myself” across your dressing mirror. As you get dressed each morning, you'll see the words and say them to yourself. This gives a positive feeling, helping you love everything about yourself.
Bedroom Walls
A lot of people put off the light in their bedroom at night. While this is good, there is nothing wrong with having the room dimly lighted. One of the best ways to achieve this is by having neon signs in your bedroom space.
They will not only help you illuminate the room, they will also beautify your bedroom. If you find it difficult to sleep with the light on and also don't like the idea of sleeping in total darkness, a neon sign is ideal for you.
