When Neon Crashed the Airwaves On paper it reads like satire: while Europe braced for Hitler’s advance, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs. Labour firebrand Gallacher, demanded answers from the Postmaster-General. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves? The reply turned heads: roughly one thousand cases logged in a single year. Think about it: listeners straining to catch news bulletins, drowned out by the hum of glowing adverts on the high street.

Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. The difficulty?: there was no law compelling interference suppression. He spoke of a possible new Wireless Telegraphy Bill, but warned the issue touched too many interests. Translation? Parliament was stalling. The MP wasn’t satisfied. He said listeners were getting a raw deal. Mr. Poole piled in too. If neon was a culprit, weren’t cables buzzing across the land just as guilty? The Minister squirmed, basically admitting the whole electrical age was interfering with itself.

--- Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. In 1939 neon was the villain of the airwaves. Eighty years on, the irony bites: neon is the endangered craft fighting for survival, while plastic LED fakes flood the market. --- What does it tell us? Neon has never been neutral. It’s always pitted artisans against technology. Now it’s dismissed as retro fluff. --- Our take at Smithers.

We see the glow that wouldn’t be ignored. So, yes, old is gold. And it still does. --- Ignore the buzzwords of "LED neon". Glass and gas are the original and the best. If neon could jam the nation’s radios in 1939, it can sure as hell light your lounge, office, or storefront in 2025. Choose glow. You need it. ---
