When Westminster Complained About Neon Signs

When Radio Met Neon in Parliament It sounds bizarre today: on the eve of the Second World War, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs.
Gallacher, never one to mince words, rose to challenge the government. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves?
The answer was astonishing for the time: 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. The snag was this: shopkeepers could volunteer to add suppression devices, but they couldn’t be forced.
He promised consultations were underway, but stressed that the problem was "complex".
In plain English: no fix any time soon.
Gallacher pressed harder. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.
Another MP raised the stakes. If London Neon Signs was a culprit, weren’t cables buzzing across the land just as guilty?
Tryon deflected, saying yes, cables were part of the mess, which only complicated things further.

From today’s vantage, it feels rich with irony. In 1939 neon was the villain of the airwaves.
Fast forward to today and it’s the opposite story: the menace of 1939 is now the endangered beauty of 2025.

What does it tell us?
First: neon has always rattled cages. It’s always pitted artisans against technology.
Second: every era misjudges neon.

Our take at Smithers. We see proof that neon was powerful enough to shake Britain.
Call it quaint, call it heritage, but it’s a reminder. And that’s why we keep bending glass and filling it with gas today.

Don’t settle for plastic impostors. Authentic glow has history on its side.
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.
You need it.
