The discharge causes the neon gas to glow. This is the gas that produced neon signs in Midland TX, Time Square, NW, and etc. In many business places throughout the world. These are lighting displays that are made of glass tubes that have been filled with a gas and bent into the shape of letters or any design used for decorations.

Theses signs are used for promotions by restaurants, bars and many more. They attract people because of their color and light. These signs are considered as one of the most effective way of commercial advertising, as they can easily grab the attention of the passers by or the pedestrian, especially at night because of their color that stands out among the others.
