LED VS. Neon?

LED vs. Neon

Please state the pros and cons of each.

I was also wondering if LED's spread light out like neons do.

wish I ccould edit.

Anyway the kewlest thing about LEDS is the differnt patterns the produce. ( not just ON) Scanning ect. and they give off about the same light if not more depending on the kit you buy.

pros and cons

LEDs pros- use minimal power comsuption, are directional (so u can aim them at something in particular), much smaller and can be hidden + take up less room, less fragile then neons, much easier to use for custom work

cons- certain colors like red aren't as bright as neons, because of directional beam not so good for lighting a general area

NEON pros- can light bigger areas, can fade brightness, generaly cheaper

cons- use ALOT of power comsuption, generally large in size, can break easy
