Interesting site there Dotster. Intriguing idea to make your own neon sign. :79-
I wonder if they pack well enough to make it over seas to USA safe and sound.
At around $9 US per letter, that could get spendy in a hurry if you want a lot
on your sign. I wonder if there is a US company with similar or better pricing.

The issue for us is that we run at 110v @ 60hz  vs   220 @ 50hz so getting the right transformer might be a bigger issue than just the cost.

Here is another site with a number of casino themed Neon lights.
Warning for those of faint heart please be seated for upcoming sticker shock.

Too bad the first one isn't actually neon, looks like it's CCFL.

But, that means that finding transformers isn't an issue as CCFL usually run on 12VDC.

I'd like to have another neon sign transformer, you can strike some pretty long arcs with one. >:D

I agree! They have some cool designs, as well. :71- You can also contact them about using fonts and colors that are not displayed on the customization pages, and it does not appear that they charge extra for this. In addition, I would think that since the signs are made ad-hoc they would probably customize them even further for an extra charge.
