Westminster Sparks Neon Debate — Will Real Glow Survive? > 자유게시판

Parliament Just Debated Neon Signs — But Will It Stop the LED Invasion?

Posted by Smithers

Earlier this year, while Britain was glued to Love Island, the Commons took a glowing turn. Yasmin Qureshi MP put neon on the table, calling out the flood of fakes.

Yep — neon made it to Parliament.
And it wasn’t some marketing stunt.
It was a Commons speech with bite.

Gas, Glass, and Grit — The Real Deal
Yasmin told it straight:

Only 27 full-time glass benders keeping the flame alive. That’s fewer than a Love Island cast.

Real neon is being outshouted by £30 plug-ins, masquerading as neon.

And Google? Stuffed with algorithm-friendly fluff. Search "neon sign" and watch the LED flood.

Why It’s Bigger Than LED
It’s not just LED tubes — it’s everything.

Every SERP is stuffed.
Small studios like Neon Creations are drowned without ad spend.

At Smithers, we’ve seen it firsthand:
We still fill with gas. No shortcuts, no Canva logos. But Google rewards clones.

What Parliament Could Do (But Won’t)
Qureshi suggested:

- A legal definition of neon with rules and protections
- British Standard certification
- Support for studios

But what was delivered?

Lip service.
A few jokes.
No bans, no money, no protection.

Here’s the Truth
If it’s not filled with fire, it’s not neon.

LED "neon" = lazy.
Calling it neon? an insult.

Keeping the Glow Alive
At Smithers, we won’t stop.
We craft signs that last decades.

Want the real thing? Forget page one of Google. Find us.

✊ Closing Crackle
The world doesn’t need plastic tapeworms.
It needs authentic glow.

So Westminster, stop punning and start protecting.

Because if we stop, all you’ll get is glue and silicone.

Real neon forever.
Craft, don’t copy.
