1939’s Strange Neon vs Wireless Battle
It sounds bizarre today: in the shadow of looming global conflict, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs.
the outspoken Mr. Gallacher, demanded answers from the Postmaster-General. Was Britain’s brand-new glow tech ruining the nation’s favourite pastime – radio?
The figure was no joke: around a thousand complaints in 1938 alone.
Imagine 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. But here’s the rub: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it.
He promised consultations were underway, but warned the issue touched too many interests.
Translation? Parliament was stalling.
Gallacher shot back. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.
Mr. Poole piled in too. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders?
The Postmaster-General ducked the blow, basically admitting the whole electrical age was interfering with itself.

From today’s vantage, it feels rich with irony. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night.
Eighty years on, neon signs in London the irony bites: the menace of 1939 is now the endangered beauty of 2025.

Why does it matter?
Neon has always been political, cultural, disruptive. It’s always forced society to decide what kind of light it wants.
Second: every era misjudges neon.

Our take at Smithers. We see the glow that wouldn’t be ignored.
So, yes, old is gold. And it still does.

Ignore the buzzwords of "LED London neon signs". Real neon has been debated in Parliament for nearly a century.
If neon could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now.
Choose the real thing.
Smithers has it.
