Neon is an inert gas that was discovered in 1898. It is colorless and non-toxic. Neon lights use glass tubes filled with low pressure neon gas that glow when exposed to high voltage. Neon lamps produce red light and are commonly used for signs, decorations, and lighting effects. While neon lights have advantages like low power consumption and long life, they also have disadvantages such as producing diffused light and requiring a large surface area for general lighting applications.

2. What is Neon?
 Neon is derived from the Greek word ‘neos’ which
means New gas.
 Discovered in 1898
 Neon is the second lightest noble gas after Helium.
 Rare inert gas.
 Non-toxic
 Colorless

3. Facts
• Neon lamps are considered one of the 12
main types of electric lamps.
• Inhalation of concentrated neon can cause
drizziness,nausea,vomiting and loss of
consciousness.
• Lamps filled with neon can only make red
light.

4. Neon lights
Neon lights use glass tubes filled with a low
pressure gas that glows under high voltage.
