Used neon light signs can be purchased at many locations. Occasionally the can be found on websites such as Bookoo and Craigslist. They can also be found at some auctions, especially those for bars that have gone out of business. In addition, many used neon signs can be found on eBay.
Light is what causes light pollution. Neon by itself won't do a thing unless used in a lit neon sign.
A well made neon sign will last as long it's vacuum remains sealed. So if you can find a used sign which meets your needs there's no reason not to buy it.
No, neon gas in a neon sign is not a compound. Neon gas is an element, a noble gas with the chemical symbol Ne and atomic number 10. It is used in neon signs because it emits a bright red-orange light when electricity passes through it.
Honey, neon signs may be flashy, but their light ain't that special. The light they emit actually has a discrete spectrum, not a continuous one. Each gas in the sign gives off specific wavelengths of light, creating those bright and colorful displays you see on the streets.
Neon can be used to light neon signs and to light glow lamps. :)
Tugsten No, its Neon. like Neon signs actually its not neon because neon is used for neon lights the questions states what is used in light bulb filaments not neon lights.
Its mostly Argon and a small amount of mercury. Its the main ingredients inside a flourescent lightbulb, which are used to light up billboards and highway signs. See the related link for more information on flourescent bulbs.
A neon sign produces an emission spectrum, which is characterized by bright, colorful lines of light at specific wavelengths. This is due to the electrons in the neon gas being excited and emitting photons of light as they return to their ground state.
Neon sign lamps primarily use the gas state of matter. When an electric current passes through the gas, it excites the neon atoms, causing them to emit light. This phenomenon is what creates the bright, distinctive glow characteristic of neon signs. Other gases can also be used in similar lamps to produce different colors.

It contains neon gas as it is also given in its name "neon light". However, it does contain other gases too but in negligible amounts.
Neon is used for advertising sign
