Hey guys. I just got a neon for xmas and the “Tiki” portion of the sign is really dim compared to the rest. There is a slight buzzing when I move the tube behind it and it dims/brightens momentarily. Is this an easy fix or should I just do an exchange?

I left it on for 12 hours and “massaged” it like one site said and it is improving!

Quoted from EJS:

Is this a new or aged sign?
Edit: how long have you left it on?

This is a new sign, it is improving but bar is still brighter.

After the bottom got brighter. I just plugged it back in today and the Tiki Bar part and head didn’t light up at all. I turned it off and on a few times and now it comes on. Any ideas?

Quoted from LTG:

Transformer issues. Exchange it and get a new sign.
LTG : )

After I plug it in cold and turn it on with the switch, only the top will light up. When I turned the switch on and off the full things lights up fine.

Do you think I should still get a new one?

That or live with it. Up to you.

I guess my question is, is it defective and if so could it get worse?
