When Neon Stormed Westminster

Few debates in Parliament ever shine as bright as the one about neon signage. But on a late evening in May 2025, Britain’s lawmakers did just that.

Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi stood up and lit the place up with a speech defending London neon signs - made a post - sign makers. Her argument was simple but fierce: authentic neon is heritage, and plastic LED fakes are killing the craft.

She hammered the point: if it isn’t glass bent by hand and filled with neon or argon, it isn’t neon.

Chris McDonald chimed in from the benches, sharing his own neon commission from artist Stuart Langley. The mood in the chamber was almost electric—pun intended.

The stats hit hard. The craft has dwindled from hundreds to barely two dozen. There are zero new apprentices. The idea of a certification mark or British Standard was floated.

From the Strangford seat came a surprising ally, citing growth reports, noting global neon growth at 7.5% a year. His point: there’s room for craft and commerce to thrive together.

The government’s man on the mic was Chris Bryant. He opened with a cheeky pun, getting heckled for it in good humour. Behind the quips, he admitted the case was strong.

He reminded MPs that neon is etched into Britain’s memory: from Piccadilly Circus and fish & chip shop fronts. He stressed neon lasts longer than LED when maintained.

Where’s the fight? The glow is fading: fake LED "neon" signs are being flogged everywhere online. That erases heritage.

Think of it like whisky or champagne. If it’s not gas in glass, it’s not neon.

In that chamber, the question was authenticity itself. Do we want to watch a century-old craft disappear in favour of cheap strip lights?

At Smithers, we know the answer: glass and gas belong in your world, not just LED copycats.

The Commons had its glow-up. No Act has passed—yet, the campaign is alive.

If they can debate neon with a straight face in Parliament, then maybe it’s time your walls got the real thing.

Forget the fakes. Your space deserves the real deal, not mass-produced mediocrity.

Parliament’s been lit—now it’s your turn.
