Difference between LED neon lamp and neon lamp

In the afternoon of 1898, British chemists Ramsay and trass studied the discharge of electricity through neon and found that this rare gas can emit brilliant orange red light under low pressure, which is particularly charming. But at that time, this charming scene was only limited to the laboratory, and it was really widely enjoyed by people after the 20th century. The first practical neon lamp in the world was invented by French chemist Claude.

Claude's invention theory is based on the fact that neon lights, unlike traditional electric light bulbs, are thin tubes that can be wound into fonts or complex graphics at will. The unique lighting effect of neon lamp can be produced by using the principle of "gas discharge". Gas is usually not easy to conduct current and is a good insulator. However, as long as the gas is depressurized and connected with a higher voltage, the gas can conduct electricity. A neon lamp is a glass tube filled with neon. When current is applied to both ends, it emits light. The electrons in the current move from one end to the other, hitting the neon atom along the way, knocking the electrons of the neon atom out of the orbit. These electrons, like the balls in the billiard game, get extra power because of being hit; After returning to the original orbit, the excess energy will be released and become electromagnetic radiation. If the glass tube is not filled with neon, but with other gases, the situation is roughly the same, but the electrons of different gases will produce electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies, thus showing different colors. The use of helium will produce golden light, and the use of krypton will produce light purple light. To produce light of other colors, you can apply fluorescent agent in the glass tube, and then fill it with mercury or argon. You can even use colored glass to match.

Since the first neon light advertisement appeared on the streets of Paris in 1912, neon lights have created colorful pictures and advertising signs, rapidly adding colorful colors to the world. We can hardly imagine living in a modern city. If there were no colorful neon lights in the city at night, we would not use the word "a good night is hard and short". This is exactly: it is suspected that the Milky way falls into the sky, and the trees and silver flowers do not fall into the sky at night!
