    Neon Around Building

    Neon usage worldwide is diverse due to different electrical regulations, materials and fabrication techniques. From now, you will experience the our neon world.

    A majority of customers are attracted with something interesting and unique. Yet most of companies seem to make a poor strategy of outdoor marketing. We'd better say they are afraid of making new attempt to out-of-home advertising due to a limitation of outdoor advertising. In conjunction with the launch of products, service and business, uncountable outdoor advertising messages have been released in desired locations. However, a great number of outdoor advertising have, in this process, also disappeared around us. Among these outdoor advertising systems, we have fortunately two recognizable and noticeable neon sign around buildings.

    Low-Voltage Neon Usage.
    At that time of making neon billboard, most of signmakers were not familiar with low-voltage neon, named as CR neon. Low-voltage Neon tech helped to produce motion-display neon billboard. The billboard gradually changes variously its colors, This project can expand neon's usage for outdoor application. According to TBWAKorea Inc., designing the electric sign, The company always wanted to seek after and apply new technology to the various types of signs. And even though out-of-home advertising is an effective media format for promoting companies, many of them would use monotonous media. Beyond the function of providing the only information, the billboard serves as a important part of outdoor advertising, which announces company identity to people. Ironically, despite of strict regulations on the electric parts, the large electric sign were much easier than thought. Based on the neon billboard tech above, newly-developed outdoor advertising was placed on a building in Daegu-city. The unprecedented sign required the technique using both neon and LED display system. Usually, In outdoor advertising, independent LED display system is used to provide briefly simple message. For application of the electric sign, LED display gives only support to set it off. The sign features providing clear message around the clock. For example, during a night, both neon and LED display brighten around a building and in the daytime Neon sign could be dim, LED system presents the motion-picture. The total size of the sign is 65.61?6.57 ft., and LED display size is 13.12?4.10 ft., LED display provides motion image, thereby, can promote a product. CSpace co., planning the project pointed out that we came to introduce the state-of-art billboard using both neon and LED display, and recently demand for low-voltage neon has steadily increased in our market.


    Perfect Installation.
    During the early stage of re-planning and re-constructing Art Plaza, the building had to be built correctly to surround it with Coldcathod lamps. In certain cases, for the installation of Neon tube, a great number of locations on the outer wall of the building were grooved. To fit into a groove depth, each supporter for neon tube was manufactured in the size of 70cm. Yeil Ad Light Inc., installing the neon tube said that for this reason, accessibility for maintenance purpose must also be considered, electric wiring and transformer work was an challenge, and in the case of the poor work, it would result in awkward look of the building for huge project like this work. However in this project, neon installation made its surrounding more fantastic and noticeable. ArtPlaza's neon work mainly consists of three areas such as a round elevator, the side of the building and a roof round tower. Because the entrance of the building is 114.82 ft., long and 32.8 ft. round, bending neon tubes was the most difficult. A round entrance work was the most difficult. A circle structure required four neon of 6.56 ft. All neon tubes consumed in the project were ade in Masonlite of England. Ad the project required total 600 transformers of Reedtransformer Inc., and Sunelctric system Inc., was responsible for blinking programing system.

    Additional Consideration.
    Neon sign, the most traditional outdoor format, should be re-configured with the state-of-the art technology. The design of each sign has been considered as important solution for out-of-home media. Because advertisers and consumers have been sick and tired of ordinary sign system, neon sign must tempt them with new design. Additionally, service work is as important as design of neon sign. No client wants a sign that needs regular service, because it's expensive. but every electric sign requires regularly maintenance-preferably, fast and reliable. Therefore, during planning and manufacturing stages, placing electric components like transformer where accessibility is easier should be is another consideration.
