Neon Light Safety Guide: What You Need to Know

Brighten Up Your Space Safely and Smartly

Introduction: Glow with Confidence

Neon lights bring vibrant color and style to any space—bedrooms, studios, cafes, or events. But safety is just as important as style when it comes to glowing decor.

At Chronos Lights, we want you to enjoy the beauty of neon without worry. Here’s your essential guide to neon light safety, so you can shine bright and safe.

1. Choose LED Neon Flex Over Traditional Neon

• LED neon flex runs on low voltage, stays cool to the touch, and is much safer than fragile glass neon tubes.
  
  

• It reduces risks of burns, electrical shocks, and breakage.
  
  

• Ideal for homes with kids, pets, or busy environments.
  
  

2. Check Electrical Ratings and Certifications

• Always buy neon lights certified by recognized safety standards (UL, CE, RoHS).
  
  

• This ensures your lights meet strict safety and quality controls.
  
  

• Avoid cheap knockoffs with unclear safety credentials.
  
  

3. Use Proper Power Sources

• Use the power adapters and cords provided by the manufacturer.
  
  

• Avoid plugging too many lights into a single outlet to prevent overloads.
  
  

• Consider using surge protectors for extra safety.
  
  

4. Install Neon Lights Correctly

• Follow manufacturer instructions carefully.
  
  

• Avoid installing neon lights near flammable materials or in damp locations unless rated for outdoor/wet use.
  
  

• Secure cords to prevent tripping hazards.
  
  

5. Regularly Inspect Your Neon Lights

• Check for frayed wires, loose connections, or flickering lights.
  
  

• Replace damaged parts promptly to avoid electrical hazards.
  
  

• Clean your neon lights gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth—never soak or spray directly.
  
  

6. Turn Off When Not in Use

• Turn off neon lights when leaving the house or going to bed to save energy and reduce risk.
  
  

• Use timers or smart plugs to automate this process.
  
  

7. Store Safely

• When storing neon lights, coil them loosely to avoid damaging wires or tubing.
  
  

• Keep in a dry, cool place away from heavy objects.
