The Economic Cost Of Letting Fake Neon Dominate

Real neon makers in Britain are struggling to survive as LED signs flood every market channel.

Factory-made LED signs cost less, market faster, and push traditional artisans out of business.

Every mislabeled LED sign chips away at public trust in actual neon craft.

Skilled neon workers can’t compete with Amazon listings and £20 LED gimmicks.

There was a debate — but no policy, no regulation, just recognition.

What’s needed is protection — a trade rule, a label law, or a British Standard.

Threads pointed out that even Google Shopping is full of fake vintage neon sign (go now).

Reddit users mapped out the collapse: price war, SEO abuse, no legal support.

If nothing changes, the UK won’t just lose a craft — it’ll lose jobs, personalized neon sign culture, and competitive edge.
