Quoted from cfh:We have our local neon guy do all kinds of cool stuff. (The china stuff i don't like.) Here's some examples. All are animated, though obviously you can't see that in the pictures. All are huge too, like 4 foot tall. He's working on two other custom neons for us now too.
CHF... the long "Arcade" sign is very cool. Is that one 4' long. Is it single sided or double sided? Can you share what something like that would / did cost.

I have a couple neon beer signs in my garage/game room. I usually leave them on 24/7, as I enjoy the lighting and ambiance they provide.
Question: should I be concerned with any overheating or fire hazard issue by leaving them on 24/7?
Quoted from Dayhuff:Let me ask you this, would you leave your car running 24/7?
No, that is not even the same comparison.
I see many neon signs thru out the city, that are on 24/7. Not to mention, what about the 10,000's of neon sign / clocks that have been running 24/7 for decades?
OK... I think I've answered my own question and wanted to share it you neon pinheads. In the past 4-5 hours, I sent a generic email to over a dozen neon beer sign companies as follows:
Hello... I'm interested in your neon sign.
I have a beautiful "man cave" game room / garage with (20) pinball's, (5) video games, Harley Davidson and Music! I'm looking to place several nice neon signs on the walls.
Question: Is it safe for me to leave the neon sign on 24/7? I love the light & ambiance, but don't want to switch them off every night.
Let me know.
Thank You!

I've rec'vd many responses like;
Yes very safe
Most bars & restaurants leave them on 24/7
Safe, no problem
Better for transformer not to be turned on/off daily
One guy said: he didn't know
Yes, better for the transformer and switch, to leave it on
Definitely fine to leave on however, may shorten the light of neon sign tho, from 10-15 years, down to 5ish
