Open Face Neon Signs

Classic Neon Aesthetic with Modern LED Performance

Open Face Neon Signs deliver the bold visual impact of traditional neon while utilizing advanced LED neon flex technology. Instead of fragile glass tubes filled with gas, these signs use flexible silicone or PVC LED tubing mounted on an open panel or backing board.

The illuminated elements are fully visible from the front, creating a vibrant, eye-catching glow without a fully enclosed cabinet. This open construction produces a strong visual presence for storefronts, hospitality venues, retail spaces, and branded interiors.

What Is an Open Face Neon Sign?

An open face neon sign features:

• Flexible LED neon tubing bent into custom letters or shapes

• An open panel or backing board

• Visible illuminated elements on the front surface

• Internal LED wiring and power integration

Unlike cabinet lightbox signs, the panel itself does not diffuse light. Instead, the neon tubing is exposed on the face, producing direct neon-style glow.

With a minimum depth of approximately 2 inches, the structure provides sufficient internal space for wiring, mounting support, and LED components.

Construction & Materials

Open face neon signs are fabricated using:

• Flexible LED neon tubing (silicone or PVC encapsulated)

• Open face panel or backing board

• Internal LED wiring and mounting hardware

• UL Certified power supply

The LED neon tubing is precision bent to create:

• Brand names

• Logos

• Lettering

• Graphic symbols

• Decorative outlines

Because the system uses LED technology, it remains cool to the touch and operates on low voltage (typically 12V or 24V DC).
