Neon Lights in Hong Kong


You know I’m a sucker for signs and outdoor advertising so it’s pretty much a given that I found this video about neon lights in Hong Kong to be very interesting. It’s a little lengthy so you may want to save it to your “Watch Later” YouTube videos. Don’t let the subtitles cause you any concern - you can easily keep pace.

(H/T to Laughing Squid)

Things I found to be interesting:

  • Different types of businesses call for different character styles in their neon tubing
  • Neon artists base the different colors of their finished product off of the color relationship between neon gas and the tubing. (Yellow + Blue = Green)
  • Neon signs are being overtaken by LED signs
