neon sign
Bright tube display
A neon sign is a sign made from glass tubes filled with neon or other gases that glow when electrified.
The tubes can be bent into letters, shapes, or images, producing the distinctive bright glow associated with bars, diners, and urban nightlife: The neon sign flickered in the window.
Neon signs evoke mid-20th-century Americana and commercial signage.
