House of Commons 1939: Neon Interference on Trial

The Day Westminster Debated Static and Glow
On paper it reads like satire: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs.
Gallacher, never one to mince words, demanded answers from the Postmaster-General. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves?
The reply turned heads: around a thousand complaints in 1938 alone.
Think about it: the soundtrack of Britain in 1938, interrupted not by enemy bombers but by shopfront glow.
Major Tryon confessed the problem was real. But here’s the rub: shopkeepers could volunteer to add suppression devices, but they couldn’t be forced.
He said legislation was being explored, but stressed that the problem was "complex".
Translation? Parliament was stalling.
The MP wasn’t satisfied. He pushed for urgency: speed it up, Minister, people want results.
Another MP raised the stakes. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders?
Tryon deflected, basically admitting the whole electrical age was interfering with itself.

Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night.
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. From crashing radios to clashing with LED, it’s always been about authenticity vs convenience.
Now it’s dismissed as retro fluff.

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.

Ignore the buzzwords of "LED neon signs in London". Real neon has been debated in Parliament for nearly a century.
If neon could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now.
Choose glow.
You need it.
