Neon is one of the noble gases - helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon. Gas discharge lights, commonly called neon lights, will produce different colors depending on which gas is used. Neon itself produces an orange light. The Wikipedia entry ' Noble Gas' has a nice illustration near the end showing the colors produced by each of the above gases

What is the common commercial uses to neon?
The common commercial use of the neon gas is to make bulbs. It is used because it is an inert gas. It does not react with the other elements.
Why is neon gas used in voltage stabilizers?
Neon gas has a break-down voltage of about 70 volts. When the gas (in a neon voltage regulator tube) breaks down, the gas glows red. If more voltage is applied (within sensible limits) the voltage drop across the neon VR tube will still be 70 volts. This action by itself could result in a large current flowing in the gas tube and possibly to destroy it, so a resistor is placed in series with the neon VR tube to limit the current. And this is better for the neon tube as well. THUS a neon voltage regulator tube forms a reference voltage which can be used, with clever circuitry, to regulate any voltage. Other gas mixtures are used for other voltages. There are solid-state devices with similar properties.
Is neon a reactant?
No. Neon, as a noble gas, does not react with ANYTHING.
What are facts about neon lights?
I don't know THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING IT UP.
What is man made plasma?
Man Made plasma can be found in Fluorescent and Neon Lights.
What is true of neon gas lights?
neon gas lights produce only red light
Which of these staements is true of neon gas lights?
They are red lights.
Are all neon lights made up neon gases?
Neon is the most used gas in neon lights but it also contains argon, Krypton, Xenon
Can LED lights be neon lights at the same time, or are neon lights different?
Neon lamps and neon signs are NOT incandescent. The gas is not glowing because it is hot, but because it is ionized, and the current is passing through it. this is the web where I read about neon lights. createneon
Does it have to be a noble gas in neon lights?
Neon lights are usually with neon or other inert gases at a low pressure, where when voltage gets through they shine.
What gas is used in advertsing lights?
usually neon
What gas is found in brightly colored lights?
Neon
What are some practical uses for neon?
Uses for neon gas include lighting up neon glow lamps and electric tubes. Neon is classified as a noble gas.
Uses of neon gas?
neon lights, such as the famous OPEN sign. The neon gas somehow makes the light uniformly spread inside the tube holding the gas, and then colored lights are put behind or in (don't know) the tube(s)
Are all neons lights made up of neon gases?
Neon is the most used gas in neon lights but it also contains argon, Krypton, Xenon
What Gas other than neon used in lights?
Krypton
What ways are neon used?
As a gas inside luminous lights.
