Custom LED Neon Signs for Storefronts, Interiors & Events
Faux neon signs are modern LED-based illuminated signs designed to recreate the classic glow of traditional glass neon while offering better energy efficiency, durability, safety, and customization. Also known as LED neon signs or LED neon flex signs, faux neon lighting has become one of the most popular signage solutions for storefront branding, interior decor, restaurants, retail stores, events, gaming rooms, offices, and commercial spaces.
At Martin Sign, we manufacture custom faux neon signs using premium LED neon flex technology, acrylic backing systems, precision CNC fabrication, and commercial-grade low-voltage LED components. Whether you need a custom neon logo for your storefront, a halo-style LED wall sign for your office, or vibrant neon light up signs for restaurants and bars, every sign is custom fabricated for maximum visibility and long-term performance.
Our custom neon LED signs are commonly used for:
- storefront business signs
- retail branding
- restaurant neon signs
- bar and lounge signage
- gaming room decor
- office logo walls
- wedding neon signs
- salon and spa branding
- trade show displays
- interior neon lighting
Modern faux neon signs are especially popular because they consume less energy, generate minimal heat, and last significantly longer than traditional gas neon systems.
WHAT ARE FAUX NEON SIGNS?
Faux neon signs are illuminated signs made using flexible LED neon tubing designed to imitate the appearance of traditional glass neon signs.
Unlike vintage neon signs that use fragile gas-filled glass tubes, modern faux neon signs use low-voltage LED neon flex mounted onto acrylic backings or architectural panels. This creates the same glowing neon appearance while improving:
- durability — won't shatter like glass
- safety — cool to the touch, low voltage
- installation flexibility — lightweight, bendable
- brightness — consistent, even illumination
- energy efficiency — uses 80% less power
- lifespan — 50,000+ hours vs 10,000 for glass neon
LED faux neon technology has become the preferred alternative to traditional neon because it offers lower power consumption, cooler operating temperatures, lightweight construction, custom RGB color options, safer indoor use, and easier shipping and installation.
Most modern neon sign companies now primarily manufacture LED neon signage instead of traditional gas neon systems.

Exterior Storefront Signs
For businesses that need bright, bold illuminated letters directly on the building wall (visible from long distances), explore Illuminated Dimensional Channel Letters . LEDs shine through colored acrylic faces. Perfect for fast food, gas stations, banks, and high-traffic retail stores. These are the classic "storefront letters" you see on most commercial buildings.
For a premium illuminated option with sophisticated appearance, visit LED Dimensional Letters . These halo lit and reverse channel letters project a soft glow behind each letter onto your building wall. The letters themselves remain opaque while light glows around them. Ideal for luxury retail, hotels, corporate offices, and high-end boutiques.
If you need a sign that projects outward from your building wall — visible from both directions of foot traffic — explore Exterior Illuminated Blade Signs . Also called projecting signs or hanging signs. Choose from front lit, halo lit (backlit) , or double-sided options. Perfect for restaurants, bars, and retail stores on busy sidewalks like Union Street or Valencia Street in San Francisco.
For businesses that close before dark and want professional daytime branding without electricity costs, Non Illuminated Dimensional Letters are the answer. These solid 3D letters require no LEDs, no transformers, and no electrician. Available in acrylic, aluminum, stainless steel, and PVC. They last 10-20 years outdoors and cost significantly less than illuminated signs.
If you need a sign that hangs perpendicular to your wall in a square or rectangular shape (rather than the classic blade sign shape), explore Outdoor Hanging Signs . These provide clean symmetrical branding and are popular for boutiques, cafes, salons, medical offices, and professional buildings.
Interior & Office Signage
Inside your business, Interior Non Illuminated Signs create professional branding for lobbies, reception areas, conference rooms, and hallways. While faux neon adds personality, color, and atmosphere, non-illuminated signs provide clean, professional identification that never goes out of style.
Choose from acrylic wall signs (modern, clean, affordable), dimensional letters (3D raised letters for lobby walls), metal lobby signs (brushed aluminum or stainless steel for premium appearance), PVC letters (budget-friendly for large installations), wood veneer signs (warm, natural for restaurants and spas), and layered architectural signs (combining multiple materials for high-end executive spaces).
Many businesses combine both: a Faux Neon Sign with your company slogan or logo in the reception area, plus traditional Dimensional Letters for conference room identification and directories.
