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 element makes glowing signs?
Well, honey, those glowing signs are made using a noble gas called neon. It's like the diva of the periodic table, lighting up the town with its vibrant colors. So next time you see a flashy sign, just remember it's all thanks to neon strutting its stuff.
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 true of neon gas lights?
Neon gas lights consist of a sealed glass tube filled with neon gas. When an electric current is passed through the gas, it emits a bright red-orange glow. Neon gas lights are commonly used in signs and decorative lighting due to their colorful and eye-catching appearance.
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.
Are neon lights similar to fluorescent lights except that the electron and gas collisions give off visible light?
Yes, neon lights and fluorescent lights both create light through excited gas molecules emitting photons. However, neon lights use neon gas, whereas fluorescent lights use mercury vapor and phosphor coating to produce a wider spectrum of colors.
What gas is found in brightly colored lights?
Neon
What gas is used in advertsing lights?
usually neon
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 inert gas makes bright city lights?
Neon Fluorescent tubes contain argon.
Which of these staements is true of neon gas lights?
Neon gas lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them a popular choice for signage and decorative lighting. They produce a distinct bright and colorful glow when an electric current passes through the neon gas within the tube.
What Gas other than neon used in lights?
Krypton
What ways are neon used?
As a gas inside luminous lights.
