2. Size and shape: Measure the installation space, determine the size and shape of the neon light, ensure that the design meets the installation requirements, and consider customized shape, length, and curvature.
3. Light source quality: Choose LED lamp beads with high brightness and high color rendering purity, and check the uniformity of the light source. Brand, brightness (such as point light source brand, lumens, illumination), color temperature (such as RGB, white light, warm white).
4. Protection level: IP65 or above is waterproof and dustproof for outdoor use. Considering the waterproof and dustproof requirements, it can be appropriately lowered indoors.

How to install neon lights on the wall?
Neon signs are placed on the wall through drilled holes and secured using spacers (screws). While wall mounted neon signs come with pre-assembled hanging chains for placing the product in the desired location, the length of the chain depends on the size ordered. Please follow these few simple steps:

step 1
Place the sign flat on the desired space/wall. To locate the screw holes, use a marker or pencil to mark the location of the pre-drilled holes. Once finished, place the neon sign (LED facing down) over the safety cover to avoid any damage.

Step 2
Now that you are done marking the holes, use a drill with a 1/4-inch (6 mm) bit to make pilot holes exactly at the marked points. For maximum security, you can also use drywall anchors and hammer them into the wall.

Step 3
Unscrew the spacer/standoff and place it against the pilot hole. Mount the barrel to the wall using combination screws that pass through the barrel into the drywall anchors.

Step 4
Now line up the sign and screw the studs onto the barrel (put the smaller set screws through the hollow inlet at the edge of the sign and secure them to the wall through the hollow inlet base (barrel)).

Step 5
Once the sign is placed and securely fastened to the surface, connect the sign to the adapter/power supply and plug into the wall plug. If you choose the dimmer option, you will have to be provided with a connector to connect it to your sign and power source, make sure the connection is secure and your new neon sign will be ready to work!
