How long does neon last for? Follow

Wondering how long neon lasts for or how long you can leave your neon light on for? This article is for you!

Novelty neon lights typically last for 5-7 years with normal decor use. The life expectancy in hours is around 10,000 hours. By normal decor use, we mean about 3-5 hours a day. We suggest to not be left on for long periods of time to prolong the lifespan, however, you can leave them on continuously if you choose! Just take note, if you do leave the light on 24/7 that is approximately 1-2 years of use. Read more on how neon works in our article here.

We use low voltage 12V DC adapters to power the glass neon desk lights and most of the wall lights. Our adapters are UL certified and designed specifically for each product - please only use the adapter that comes with your product or contact us for replacements. Using an incorrect power supply may result in a surge of the electronics and short the base. Please remember to never push or pull on the neon tube!
