Radikal Neon® is the originator of the LED neon glow, with our founder having experimented with the medium since 2013. Since then the team has gained over 40 friendly faces, and now has local operations in New Zealand, USA, Canada & the UK providing you with the highest quality LED neons via our unparalleled customer service.
The ever-growing team at Radikal HQ has been bringing the nostalgia of a time long past into today's world. Of course, we make it safer, accessible to everyone, and eco-friendly through the use of LED instead.
At Radikal Neon, we believe in the unique power of neon lighting to create the ultimate vibe. We've been purveyors of the traditional medium since well before Radikal's official 2016 inception, with members of the team already having experience designing and producing traditional neon signs. Having been involved in the industry for so long, the team truly believes that these lights can bring character to any space - and transform any character that already exists.
One of the main things that founder Tom Numan discovered about traditional neon signs was that the glass used was easily broken (especially when shipped), and released toxic gasses when it did. An expensive and timely craft, while often being a pain to install for the client and costly to run, simply wasn't as sustainable as modern lighting solutions should be.
Our response? The team searched high and low to see if more modern technology would be able to replicate the look without the downsides. That's when Tom discovered LED Flex Neon in 2013. Even though it was a fledgling technology at the time, his experience in the lighting design arena told him that this medium was the one!
LED Neon turned out to be an environmentally friendly, user-friendly, and wallet-friendly alternative without all the downsides of glass neon. Just like that, the ultimate evolution of the traditional neon sign was born, and it's been shining bright ever since. Check out our detailed Traditional Neon vs. LED Neon comparison here to take a more in-depth look between them.
At Radikal Neon, not only is everything handmade with care, but we specialize in totally bespoke custom neon works for whatever you have in mind. So get dreaming.
