How to Wall Mount Your Neon Sign Like a Pro

Looking to bring that neon glow into your space? Whether you’re adding some edge to your business, amping up a home vibe, or setting the scene for an event, mounting your LED neon sign the right way is key. This guide will walk you through the tools, tips, and tricks you need to get your neon shining bright and secure.

What You’ll Need

Before you kick off, gather these essentials:

  • Screws & wall anchors
  • Measuring tape
  • Pencil
  • Level
  • Drill
  • Screwdriver
  • Mounting clips or brackets (if required)

Safety First, Always

  • Power Off: Make sure your sign is unplugged before starting.
  • Support Matters: Check that your wall can handle the weight of the sign, especially if it’s on the heavier side.
  • Mind the Moisture: If you’re mounting outside or in a humid space, make sure your sign and its components are rated for it.

Your Step-by-Step Neon Install

  1. Pick Your Spot: Choose a wall where your neon can stand out. Check for easy access to a power source and make sure cables can be hidden.
  2. Plan for Power: Aim to keep adapters and cables out of sight—tuck them behind furniture or route them where they won’t be in the way.
  3. Measure for Impact: For the best look, position your sign around eye level. Measure, mark, and check alignment with a level for a polished look.
  4. Drill with Precision: Drill holes where you’ve marked. For heavier signs or tricky walls like brick, wall anchors will be your best friend.
  5. Insert Anchors and Mount: Slide anchors into drilled holes if needed, then attach your screws or brackets. Double-check that they’re sturdy and level.
  6. Mount the Sign: Carefully line up your neon with the mounting points, ensuring it’s even. This is your moment to step back, check alignment, and make any tweaks.
  7. Connect and Test: Plug in the sign, connect to any controllers, and pair it with the remote. Tuck cables away, turn it on, and let it glow!

    Common Mistakes to Avoid

    • Weak Anchors: Make sure anchors are strong enough to hold your sign’s weight.
    • Misalignment: Measure twice, drill once.
    • Poor Power Placement: Avoid messy cables—position close to an outlet.

    By following these steps, you’re set for a stellar neon display that’s safe, sleek, and seriously impactful. Let your sign steal the show!
