Enter the suspended pre-mounted neon sign! This beauty comes with a backplate and a handy hanging system equipped with steel cables. Kind of like hanging a piece of art, but way cooler.
Here's the lowdown:

- Ensure the hanging point is robust enough to carry the sign's weight. We wouldn't want any neon tragedies.
- Attach the steel cables to the pre-mounted neon sign.
- Loop or hook the other end of the cable onto your chosen hanging point.
- Check and double-check that the sign hangs straight and is well-balanced.
Stick 'Em Up: The Glue Option for LED Neon Signs
While LED neon signs are the lightweights of the neon family, and sure, you could technically slap on some heavy-duty industrial glue to get them on your wall, we've got to pause here for a sec.
A Word of Caution: While it might sound like a quick fix, we don't really recommend using glue. Why? Well, over time, glue might lose its grip, and your neon sign could come tumbling down. Plus, removing it later might leave a mark. So, think long and hard before going the glue route.
There you have it! A couple of nifty ways to get your neon glow without ever touching a drill. Just always ensure that safety comes first, and that glowing sign will light up your space in no time. Enjoy the luminous vibes!
Standing and tabletop signs
For even more flexible and mobile solutions, we offer encased neon or LED neon signs. These practical tabletop neon signs come in an acrylic box with the converter inserted into the base. The "neonbox" is able to stand freely on its own, so you can easily keep it standing on a shelf or standing on a floor (just make sure it's not in the way so nobody steps on it!). You also have the option of hanging it on the wall via keyholes.
For reasons of stability and safety, there are of course size limitations to this product variant. It’s best suited for small and compact designs.
