The latest solid state LED and Fiber Optic lighting, when PROPERLY SPEC'D, SOURCED AND INSTALLED, are today excellent "GREEN" alternatives to traditional neon lighting. These approaches are much lower in cost long term, save energy nightly, and provide high visual impact with their inherent color changing ability. Brands we source are "wet" outdoor rated and UL listed, have over 40K hour life, use up to 60% less energy than rigid tube neon and start at $19/ft for "value added" retail scenario --$35/ft with full outdoor install.
