Neon Displays

Neon display is allowed but requires special provisions. It is therefore crucial that should you wish to display neon, you follow the guidelines set out below: 

  • The electrical circuit that supplies electricity to the Neon exhibit must be on a separate circuit.
  • The neon exhibit cannot be connected to the electrical supply through a plug and socket arrangement. 
  • The neon exhibit must be fitted by a PICO electrician.
  • The neon exhibit needs to have a fire extinguisher near it. 

Please contact your PICO representative if you wish to have a neon display on your stand.
