neon tube
Bright bar advertisement
A neon tube is a glass tube filled with neon gas that glows bright red-orange when electrified.
The term extends to similar tubes containing other gases that produce different colors—though technically those are fluorescent or gas-discharge tubes, not true neon.
Neon tubes are bent into shapes for signs and art: The bar's neon tube flickered in the window.
