I hope introducing a product with many environmental qualities is 
acceptable to this group. If not, let me know and it won't happen again.

This is a product that looks like Neon, I put some up and it's very easy 
  to install.

80% more energy efficient
No Mercury
All material is recyclable
ROHS Compliant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROHS
cUL Approved http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwriters_Laboratories

For every foot of glass neon you use about 9 Watts of energy and flex 
neon you use about 1 - 1.5 Watts depending on color and voltage. That's 
a significant difference! We also found the LED Neon Flex is much 
brighter and in cold climates like Canada works much better. LED's 
thrive and last longer in cold, where Neon's life is cut short from the 
cold.

Installation from Neon to LED Neon Flex was less expensive, more uniform 
and will be easier and much less expensive when repairs need to be done.

If a piece of flex is damaged, you can snip it out and splice in a new 
piece. Very easy! This will most defiantly reduce mercury waste, since 
every piece of glass neon has mercury and where does it go when replaced?

http://www.ledneonflex.com for more details or questions, they seem to 
always have live support up and going.
