When Neon Crashed the Airwaves

On paper it reads like satire: on the eve of the Second World War, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs.

Labour firebrand Gallacher, stood up and asked the Postmaster-General a peculiar but pressing question. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves?

The reply turned heads: the Department had received nearly one thousand reports from frustrated licence-payers.

Think about it: listeners straining to catch news bulletins, drowned out by the hum of glowing adverts on the high street.

Major Tryon confessed the problem was real. The difficulty?: there was no law compelling interference suppression.

He spoke of a possible new Wireless Telegraphy Bill, but warned the issue touched too many interests.

Translation? Parliament was stalling.

Gallacher pressed harder. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.

Mr. Poole piled in too. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders?

The Minister squirmed, admitting it made the matter "difficult" but offering no real solution.

Seen through modern eyes, it’s heritage comedy with a lesson. In 1939 creative neon signs London ideas was the villain of the airwaves.

Fast forward to today and neon signs London it’s the opposite story: neon is the endangered craft fighting for survival, while plastic LED fakes flood the market.

So what’s the takeaway?

Neon has never been neutral. From crashing radios to clashing with LED, it’s always been about authenticity vs convenience.

In 1939 it was seen as dangerous noise.

Our take at Smithers. We see the glow that wouldn’t be ignored.

Call it quaint, call it heritage, but it’s a reminder. And it always will.

---

Forget the fake LED strips. Real neon has been debated in Parliament for nearly a century.

If neon could jam the nation’s radios in 1939, it can sure as hell light your lounge, office, or storefront in 2025.

Choose the real thing.

We make it.
