Product Range

What types of neon sign boards does IBS manufacture?

IBS manufactures the full range of neon sign board formats — from modern LED neon (the dominant format for new installations) to traditional glass-tube neon (heritage and specialty engagements), custom logo and typography neon, outdoor weatherproofed neon, indoor brand-wall neon, RGB programmable neon, ACP + neon hybrid cladding, and architectural custom-shape installations. LED neon fabrication is in-house in our Mumbai facility; traditional glass-tube engagements use specialised partner workshops with IBS owning design, mounting, electrical integration, and installation. Material specs are locked to the BOQ; named-brand specifications across every component class. Eight neon signage formats follow.

LED Neon Sign Boards

LED neon sign boards use flexible LED strip encased in silicone or PVC tubing to mimic the classic neon-glow aesthetic — but with significantly lower power consumption, longer service life, dimmable brightness, and dramatically improved safety vs traditional high-voltage glass-tube neon. The dominant modern neon format across hospitality, retail, and indoor decor applications. IBS fabricates LED neon to GFC drawings using flexible LED-strip modules in single-colour (warm white, cool white, primary colours), RGB (full-colour programmable), and segmented multi-zone configurations. CNC-cut acrylic backings or aluminium channels per design intent; low-voltage power supplies (12V or 24V DC); no high-voltage hazards.

  • Flexible LED neon strip — silicone or PVC-encased LED strip for curved and dimensional neon-style signage
  • Single-colour LED neon — warm white, cool white, blue, green, red, amber; the budget format for routine brand identity
  • RGB programmable LED neon — full-colour programmable for promotional installations and event signage
  • Segmented multi-zone LED neon — independently controlled zones for choreographed lighting effects
  • Acrylic-channel LED neon — LED neon strip mounted in optical-grade acrylic channels for clean line-art aesthetic

Traditional Glass-Tube Neon Signs

Traditional glass-tube neon signs use hand-blown glass tubes filled with neon, argon, or other inert gases, electrically excited at high voltage to produce the classic warm glow that defined mid-20th-century signage. Heritage / specialty format — most modern engagements choose LED neon for safety, longevity, and cost reasons. IBS executes glass-tube neon engagements via specialised partner glass-bending workshops, with IBS owning design, mounting structure, electrical integration (high-voltage transformer specification per CEA standards), and installation. Common engagements: bar and restaurant heritage signage where the aesthetic is the primary intent, art-installation neon, and architectural feature neon for premium hospitality.

  • Hand-blown glass-tube neon — traditional gas-discharge neon signs with classic colour palette
  • Argon / krypton tube variants — alternative gases for blue, green, white, and rare-colour neon
  • High-voltage transformer integration — CEA-compliant transformer specification for safe operation
  • Heritage restoration neon — restoration of vintage neon signs for hospitality and art-installation clients
  • Architectural feature neon — custom curved glass-tube for architectural facades and feature walls

Custom Logo & Typography Neon

Custom logo and typography neon converts brand marks, fonts, and bespoke design elements into illuminated neon signage — typically the format chosen by hospitality brands, premium retail, and corporate interior designers who want the neon aesthetic with their specific brand identity. IBS fabricates custom-shape LED neon for logos, brand wordmarks, custom font executions, and ornamental typography. CNC-cut backing in acrylic, aluminium, or wood depending on aesthetic intent; flexible LED neon shaped to match the design; multi-element installations with each element independently illuminated where the design requires.

  • Brand wordmark neon — illuminated brand-name signage with bespoke font execution
  • Logo neon — non-text brand mark fabricated as illuminated neon
  • Custom font neon — bespoke typography conversion to LED neon
  • Multi-element neon installations — independent illumination per design element
  • Wood-backed neon decor — premium aesthetic with wooden backing for hospitality and retail interiors

Outdoor Weatherproofed Neon Sign Boards

Outdoor neon sign boards add the weatherproofing, surge protection, and IP-rating requirements that indoor neon installations don't need. IBS specifies and fabricates outdoor neon to the full Indian outdoor signage standard: IP65-rated LED neon strip and power supplies, surge protection at panel level, UV-stabilised silicone or polycarbonate encasement (standard- grade silicone degrades under monsoon UV exposure), corrosion- protected mounting hardware, accessible service junction boxes for module replacement, and sealed enclosures preventing water ingress. Outdoor neon is the format used for restaurant storefronts, bar and pub identity signage, and high-visibility brand identification.

  • Wall-mounted outdoor neon — building-facade and storefront neon signage
  • Awning / canopy neon — neon mounted on awnings, canopies, and architectural overhangs
  • Pylon-integrated neon — multi-tenant pylon signs with neon brand panels
  • Building-corner neon — wrap-around corner installations for high-visibility identification
  • Mast / freestanding neon — pole-mounted neon for street-side identification

Indoor Neon Decor & Brand Walls

Indoor neon decor and brand walls are the high-aesthetic interior installations — restaurant brand walls, hotel lobby neon art, retail brand-identity walls, corporate reception neon, and event- space accent lighting. Common in hospitality (especially F&B), premium retail, and corporate-design-driven offices. IBS fabricates indoor neon at lower IP ratings (IP20 acceptable) with focus on aesthetic quality — clean line work, even illumination, concealed wiring, and minimal-hardware mounting. Wood, painted MDF, or stone-textured backings per interior design intent. Customisable colour temperatures, dimmable control, and integration with overall interior lighting plans.

  • Restaurant brand walls — illuminated brand-identity walls for restaurants, bars, cafés
  • Hotel lobby neon art — premium lobby decor neon with custom typography or brand marks
  • Retail brand-identity walls — flagship-store interior neon for premium brand presentation
  • Corporate reception neon — illuminated brand identity for corporate office receptions
  • Event-space accent neon — feature lighting for event spaces, bars, lounge interiors

Colour-Changing & RGB Programmable Neon

Colour-changing and RGB neon installations use programmable LED neon strip with full-colour control — capable of static colour, breathing effects, sequential colour transitions, and choreographed lighting routines. Common in entertainment venues (nightclubs, gaming centres, bars), event installations, and brand-experience zones where dynamic illumination is core to the experience. IBS supplies programmable LED neon with controller integration (DMX, Bluetooth, or app-based control), pre- programmed lighting routines, and on-site programming training. Multi-zone RGB neon for choreographed effects across multiple sign elements.

  • RGB programmable neon — full-colour controllable LED neon with DMX or app integration
  • Breathing / animated neon — pre-programmed lighting effects (breathing, pulsing, fade)
  • Multi-zone RGB neon — independently-controlled zones for choreographed installations
  • DMX-controlled neon — integration with DMX lighting controllers for stage and event use
  • App / Bluetooth control — mobile-app control for smaller installations and brand-experience zones

ACP + Neon Hybrid Cladding

ACP cladding combined with integrated neon signage is the facade- identity format for premium retail, bar and restaurant exteriors, and corporate building branding. IBS executes both the ACP cladding (per our dedicated ACP cladding service line) and the integrated neon (typically LED neon for outdoor safety and longevity) in a single coordinated scope. Fabricated ACP panels include routed-out signage cutouts, LED neon mounted in the channels, and an aligned brand-identity surface. Single drawing register, single substructure, single warranty across both cladding and neon.

  • ACP fascia with integrated LED neon — full-facade ACP cladding with neon-illuminated brand identity
  • ACP signage panels with neon accents — modular ACP panels with neon-illuminated brand elements
  • Integrated ACP + neon facade — coordinated cladding and neon for premium storefront refresh
  • Multi-tenant ACP + neon — pylon-and-facade systems for premium retail malls and entertainment districts

Architectural & Custom-Shape Neon

Architectural and custom-shape neon covers the non-standard installations — column-wrapping neon, arch-illuminated neon, ceiling-suspended neon installations, curved facade neon, and bespoke artistic neon. Common for premium hospitality (high-end hotels, restaurants with signature design), corporate flagship offices, and bar / nightclub interiors where neon is part of the architectural design language. IBS fabricates custom-shape LED neon via CNC-cut acrylic forms with flexible LED strip routing, suspended-mount installations with concealed wiring, and column- wrapping neon with conformal LED arrays. Bespoke engagements with strong design coordination.

  • Column-wrapping neon — LED neon wrapped around architectural columns and pillars
  • Arch-illuminated neon — neon installations across architectural arches and entry portals
  • Ceiling-suspended neon — overhead neon installations with concealed mounting
  • Curved facade neon — neon following curved building exteriors and architectural curves
  • Bespoke artistic neon — one-off design-led neon installations for signature engagements

15+ years operating

Approved vendor at Reliance Retail, HDFC ERGO, HSBC, Aditya Birla Retail, EPSON, Adani Airports, and Duravit across signage portfolios.

The IBS Advantage

Why Choose Impulse Branding?

Most neon sign board "manufacturers" in India are LED-strip assemblers — buying flexible LED neon from import wholesalers, assembling into basic shapes, and installing with sub-contracted labour. IBS is built differently: in-house LED neon fabrication using the same facility that makes our LED channel letters and acrylic LED sign boards, partner network for traditional glass-tube neon heritage work, BCAS clearance for airport retail, and 15+ years of execution discipline across hospitality, retail, entertainment, healthcare, and corporate engagements.

01

In-house LED neon fabrication — same facility as LED signage

Every LED neon sign board IBS ships is fabricated in our Mumbai facility — design through CNC-cutting through assembly through electrical integration through QC through dispatch through installation. The same fabrication capability that makes LED channel letters, acrylic LED sign boards, and edge-lit signage extends to LED neon — flexible LED strip is just a different illumination form factor. This is the unique angle vs LED-strip- assemblers: integrated fabrication, no outsourcing of the visible product, single project-lead accountability.

02

Glass-tube neon via specialised partner network

For traditional glass-tube neon engagements (heritage installations, art-installation neon, architectural feature neon), IBS engages specialised partner glass-bending workshops for the tube fabrication, with IBS owning design, mounting structure, high-voltage transformer specification (per CEA standards), and on-site installation. Glass-tube neon is a specialty heritage format — modern engagements typically choose LED neon for safety, longevity, and cost — but IBS executes traditional neon where the engagement demands it.

03

BCAS clearance for airport-side neon installations

The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) clears IBS for execution inside airport terminals — both airside (post-security, where regulatory access requirements are strictest) and landside. This rare certification qualifies IBS for retail-tenant neon signage at major Indian airports including Adani Airports terminals. Airport retail brands (duty-free outlets, retail concessions, F&B kiosks) use neon heavily for high-impact identification within airport terminal areas — and BCAS is the procurement gate that IBS clears.

04

Named-brand LED neon and IP-rated power supplies

LED neon: flexible LED strip from established LED-industry brands (Cree-based, Osram-based, Philips-based suppliers). Power supplies: Mean Well or Schneider for low-voltage DC. Acrylic and polycarbonate diffuser channels: GE Plastics, Lucite. Surge protection: Schneider or ABB at panel level. The job-work alternative is unbranded LED neon import sourced on cost — guaranteed to fail at 18–24 months. Our spec is built for 5–7 year LED neon life.

05

Multi-city brand rollout discipline

Multi-city neon signage rollouts are routine engagements for IBS — particularly for hospitality chains, retail brand programmes, and BFSI corporate-identity rollouts. Whether it's a restaurant chain rebranding 30 outlets, a retail brand launching 50+ premium-store fascias, or a corporate brand refreshing reception neon across 25 offices — the rollout discipline is identical. Centralised brand standards, factory-fabricated identical units, sequenced dispatch, in-house install crews, and single project- lead coordination.

06

15+ years operating

Neon sign board failures follow predictable patterns — LED neon strip yellowing under UV, silicone encasement cracking, power supply failures, water ingress at outdoor installations, high- voltage transformer failures (for glass-tube neon), mounting hardware corrosion in coastal sites, surge damage during monsoon. 15+ years of executing means IBS has seen and designed around every one of these failure modes. Our standard specifications and service contracts embed those lessons.

How We Work

Our Process

A standard neon sign board engagement spans 2–6 weeks from brief to commissioning — LED neon on the shorter end (2–4 weeks), glass-tube neon on the longer end (4–6 weeks due to specialised partner workshop scheduling). Multi-city rollouts scale proportional to site count. The process below is the IBS standard.

01

Brief, design intent, and site survey

The engagement starts with a brief intake covering brand standards, neon type (LED neon vs glass-tube), quantity, sites, target date, and any constraints (sight-lines, mounting points, electrical access, municipal signage approvals). For storefront and facade installations, the IBS project lead and a fabrication coordinator visit the site to capture mounting context, electrical access, and structural conditions. Output: written observation report, preliminary design direction, initial spec range. This visit is free of charge.

02

Design, mockups, and brand approval

Design moves from concept to scaled rendering to physical mockup where the engagement complexity warrants it. Mockups are particularly valuable for custom-shape neon and large-format installations where the visual outcome depends heavily on installation context. Brand approval cycles with your marketing or brand team are coordinated through the IBS project lead. Final approved design and brand standards lock the spec inputs to the GFC drawings.

03

GFC drawings, BOQ, and electrical spec

GFC drawings detail every dimension, every mounting point, every electrical connection, every neon-strip route. The accompanying BOQ itemises LED neon brand and model (or glass-tube spec for traditional engagements), power supply rating, acrylic / polycarbonate channel specification, aluminium frame gauge, mounting hardware, surge protection, and any controller / DMX hardware for RGB engagements. Electrical specification per CEA regulations — low-voltage DC for LED neon, high-voltage transformer specification for glass-tube neon.

04

Factory fabrication (LED) or partner workshop (glass-tube)

For LED neon: fabrication happens in the IBS Mumbai facility — CNC-cutting of acrylic and polycarbonate channels, aluminium frame construction, flexible LED neon strip routing, electrical assembly, power supply integration, and controller wiring for RGB engagements. For glass-tube neon: the IBS project team coordinates with partner glass-bending workshops for tube fabrication, with IBS owning all integration scope. Multi-unit rollouts run in batches with identical-spec discipline.

05

Pre-installation QC and electrical testing

Every neon sign board is electrically tested before dispatch — module-level illumination check for LED neon, transformer test for glass-tube, power-supply load test, surge-protection verification, and insulation resistance test. RGB engagements include programmable controller testing and pre-loaded routine verification. Test certificates issued for each unit. Manufacturing defects caught in the factory, not at the customer's site.

06

Site installation

Installation is executed by in-house IBS crews — not job-work labour. Structural mounting (drill anchors into RCC, aluminium frame on-site where required, custom brackets for architectural installations), electrical connection (to the building's signage circuit with surge protection), controller installation for RGB engagements, and final positioning and alignment. Site work permits and gate-pass coordination handled in advance. For airport installations, BCAS clearance documentation accompanies the install crew.

07

Commissioning and brand approval walk-through

Final commissioning includes night-time illumination check (neon is judged primarily on night appearance), brand-colour verification (LED neon colour temperature against brand standard, glass-tube neon hue against original spec), edge-and-mounting inspection, controller-routine verification for RGB engagements, and a walk-through with the client or your brand team for sign- off. Photo-record of the installed neon forms the project closure document.

08

Warranty handover and ongoing service

Project handover includes the warranty certificate, manufacturer LED neon and power-supply warranty documents, electrical test certificates, controller programming documentation for RGB engagements, as-built drawings, and contact information for service. IBS maintains in-house service crews for LED neon strip replacement, controller reprogramming, transformer replacement (glass-tube), and refurbishment work — typically a 24–48 hour response window for service calls within Mumbai-Pune corridor.

Standards & Materials

What standards and materials does an IBS neon sign board follow?

Every IBS neon sign board is built to recognised Indian engineering standards for electrical safety, illumination performance, and outdoor durability.

Who We Work With

Industries Served

Neon sign boards serve every sector where high-aesthetic illuminated brand identity matters — hospitality leading by volume (bars, restaurants, hotels, F&B chains), followed by retail (fashion and premium), entertainment venues, healthcare pharmacy identification, and corporate interior brand walls. Below are the sector-specific patterns we deliver against most often.

Hospitality — Bars, Restaurants, Hotels, F&B Chains

Hospitality is the dominant neon sign board sector in modern India — bars, restaurants, hotels, breweries, lounges, and F&B chains rely on neon for storefront identification, interior brand walls, and ambient brand experience. IBS executes hospitality neon for standalone restaurants, multi-outlet QSR chains, premium hotel chains, bar and nightclub interiors, and F&B group rollouts. LED neon for storefront fascia, custom logo neon for brand walls, RGB programmable for entertainment- focused venues, and architectural neon for premium hospitality installations. Pre-opening lead-time discipline is critical — neon must land on the grand-opening date.

Retail — Fashion, Premium Brands, Specialty Stores

Retail neon spans fashion storefronts, premium brand fascia, specialty stores, and high-street brand identity. IBS executes for Reliance Retail, Aditya Birla Retail, Accessorize, and other multi-format retail brands — typically LED neon for outdoor storefronts, custom-logo neon for brand walls inside stores, and integrated ACP + neon for facade refresh of premium retail. Multi-city retail rollouts deliver consistent spec, brand colours, and lead time across multi-format chains.

Entertainment — Cinema, Nightclubs, Gaming Centres

Entertainment venues — cinema theatres, nightclubs, gaming centres, lounges, and event spaces — use neon at scale for venue identification, signature lighting effects, and brand- experience zones. IBS executes entertainment neon with RGB programmable installations, multi-zone choreographed lighting, large-format facade neon, and architectural custom-shape neon. The format is core to the venue's experience proposition — not just identification but ambient identity.

Healthcare — Pharmacy Crosses, Clinic Identity

Healthcare neon focuses primarily on pharmacy cross signage — the green-cross or red-cross format common across Indian retail pharmacies and medical-store chains — and select clinic identity installations. IBS manufactures pharmacy cross neon (LED neon strip in green or red for the cross-format), clinic identity neon for high-end practices, and 24×7 illumination installations where consistent night-visibility matters.

Corporate Interior — Reception Walls, Brand Identity

Corporate interior neon serves the brand-experience needs of premium corporate offices, flagship reception areas, conference rooms with brand integration, and event-space corporate signage. IBS executes halo-lit neon brand identity for corporate receptions (the format that landed on EPSON and Duravit's brand portfolios), custom-shape neon for brand walls and decorative interiors, and integrated brand-experience neon across reception, lift lobbies, and conference suites. Often coordinated with office fit-out engagements.

Commercial

Commercial framework

IBS's commercial engagement for neon sign board projects is structured around three pillars: clear, locked-down scope captured in the GFC drawings and BOQ; named-component specifications with no surprise substitutions; and warranty terms scaled by component class. Specific commercial terms — project pricing, scheduling, and stage-wise commercial alignment — are agreed in the proposal and contract. The website is not the place for them.

Scope, BOQ & spec lock-down

The commercial relationship is anchored on the GFC drawings and BOQ. Every component is itemised — LED neon brand and model (or glass-tube spec), power supply rating, channel specification, aluminium gauge, mounting hardware, finishing, surge protection, controller hardware for RGB engagements. Changes during execution (RFI-driven or client-driven) are tracked through a written change-order log with cost and timeline impact noted before approval. This prevents the most common neon-signage commercial dispute: undisclosed LED-neon- strip substitution during fabrication.

Taxes — GST on the IBS invoice

IBS invoices for neon sign board fabrication and installation services attract GST at the applicable rate per the prevailing GST Council notification. GST is shown on a separate line in every invoice, with tax certificates issued. Input tax credit availability — where applicable to your business — applies as standard.

Warranty & defect liability

IBS provides written warranty on every neon sign board engagement, scaled by component class. Warranty cards and as-built documentation form part of the handover packet.

Warranty & defect liability

LED neon strip
eighteen to thirty-six months on workmanship; manufacturer warranty pass-through on flexible LED neon modules
Power supplies
manufacturer warranty (Mean Well / Schneider typically three to five years)
Glass-tube neon

Site survey & feasibility

The initial site visit and feasibility observation is provided without charge and without obligation. Detailed design development beyond the initial concept stage — if engaged through IBS rather than your in-house creative team — is a separate scope and is itemised in the proposal. There are no hidden engagement fees prior to the proposal stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Neon Sign Boards

Everything procurement heads, project managers, and marketing teams ask before commissioning neon sign boards from IBS.

What is included in a neon sign board engagement?

A full IBS neon sign board engagement includes design and brand- approval coordination, GFC drawings and electrical BOQ, factory fabrication (in-house for LED neon, partner-workshop integration for glass-tube neon), pre-dispatch quality control, site installation by in-house IBS crews, commissioning and brand-team walk-through, warranty handover with as-built drawings and test certificates, and ongoing service availability for module replacement or refurbishment.

How long does neon sign board manufacturing and installation take?

A standard neon sign board engagement spans two to six weeks from brief to commissioning — LED neon on the shorter end (2–4 weeks), glass-tube neon on the longer end (4–6 weeks due to specialised partner workshop scheduling). Multi-city rollouts scale proportional to site count. IBS provides an itemised timeline at the proposal stage based on your specific scope.

How much does a neon sign board cost in India?

Neon sign board cost depends on type (LED neon vs glass-tube), size, custom-shape complexity, LED module brand and density, power supply rating, mounting structure, and quantity for multi- unit engagements. There is no meaningful per-sign answer without a site survey and BOQ. IBS provides a detailed itemised BOQ within five to seven working days of the initial brief.

What is the difference between LED neon and traditional glass-tube neon?

LED neon uses flexible LED strip encased in silicone or PVC tubing to mimic the neon-glow aesthetic — significantly lower power consumption, longer service life, dimmable brightness, safer (low-voltage DC operation), and dramatically lower failure rates than glass-tube. Traditional glass-tube neon uses hand- blown glass tubes filled with neon or argon gas, electrically excited at high voltage — classic warm glow, heritage aesthetic, but higher failure rates, shorter life, and high-voltage safety considerations. Modern engagements predominantly choose LED neon.

Does IBS manufacture LED neon sign boards?

Yes — LED neon is the dominant format in modern IBS engagements. We fabricate flexible LED neon strip in single-colour (warm white, cool white, primary colours), RGB programmable, and segmented multi-zone configurations. CNC-cut acrylic backings or aluminium channels per design intent; low-voltage power supplies (12V or 24V DC); no high-voltage hazards. The same fabrication capability that builds our LED channel letters and acrylic LED sign boards extends directly to LED neon.

Can IBS execute custom logo and typography neon?

Yes — custom logo neon and typography neon are routine IBS engagements. We convert brand marks, custom fonts, wordmarks, and ornamental typography into illuminated LED neon installations. CNC-cut backing in acrylic, aluminium, or wood depending on aesthetic intent; flexible LED neon shaped to match the design; multi-element installations with independent illumination per element where the design requires.

What LED neon brands does IBS specify?

IBS specifies flexible LED neon strip from established LED- industry suppliers (Cree-based, Osram-based, Philips-based modules), power supplies from Mean Well or Schneider, acrylic and polycarbonate diffuser channels from GE Plastics or Lucite, and surge protection from Schneider or ABB. Every component is named on the BOQ at GFC stage; substitutions only with written client approval.

What is the expected lifespan of an IBS LED neon sign board?

With named-brand LED neon strip, IP-rated power supplies, and properly specified outdoor weatherproofing where applicable, IBS LED neon sign boards typically deliver 5–7 years of full- luminance service before module-replacement maintenance — 7+ years for indoor installations. Lifespan depends on module brand and class, power supply quality, outdoor exposure (UV, humidity, surge), and routine service. Glass-tube neon typically delivers 3–5 years before transformer or tube replacement is needed.

Does IBS provide outdoor weatherproofed neon sign boards?

Yes — outdoor neon is a major engagement category for IBS, particularly for restaurant storefronts, bar and pub identity signage, and retail facade neon. Outdoor LED neon requires IP65-rated LED neon strip and power supplies, surge protection, UV-stabilised silicone or polycarbonate encasement, corrosion- protected mounting hardware, sealed enclosures, and accessible service junction boxes. We specify and fabricate to the full Indian outdoor signage standard for 5–7 year LED neon life at outdoor exposure.

Can IBS execute multi-city neon signage rollouts?

Yes. Multi-city neon signage rollouts are routine engagements for IBS — particularly for hospitality chains (restaurant brand rollouts, hotel rebrandings), retail brand programmes, and BFSI corporate-identity rollouts. Multi-city rollouts are delivered with centralised brand standards, factory-fabricated identical units, sequenced dispatch, in-house install crews trained on the brand standard, and single project-lead coordination across all sites.

Does IBS make programmable RGB neon and colour-changing neon?

Yes — RGB programmable neon and colour-changing installations are routine IBS engagements, particularly for entertainment venues (nightclubs, gaming centres, bars), event installations, and brand-experience zones. We supply programmable LED neon with controller integration (DMX, Bluetooth, or app-based control), pre-programmed lighting routines, and on-site programming training. Multi-zone RGB neon for choreographed effects across multiple sign elements.

Does IBS handle municipal signage approvals for neon?

Yes — IBS coordinates municipal signage approvals as part of the project scope. For Mumbai installations, this includes MCGM signage licence applications and any required Building Proposal Department clearances. For installations in other cities, equivalent municipal authority approvals are coordinated through the IBS project team. Approval timelines vary by city and are factored into the project schedule at proposal stage.

Is IBS BCAS-cleared for airport neon installations?

Yes — IBS holds Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) clearance for execution inside airport terminals, both airside (post-security, where regulatory access requirements are strictest) and landside. This rare certification qualifies IBS for retail-tenant neon signage at major Indian airports including Adani Airports terminals — duty-free outlets, retail concessions, F&B kiosks. BCAS is the procurement gate for airport-side signage, and IBS clears it.

Does the price include GST?

GST is shown on a separate line in every IBS invoice at the applicable rate per the prevailing GST Council notification — not bundled into the line-item price. Tax invoices and tax certificates are issued for every billing event. Input tax credit availability — where applicable to your business — applies as standard.

What is the warranty on a neon sign board?

Warranty terms vary by component class. LED neon strip carries 18–36 months of workmanship warranty plus manufacturer pass- through. Power supplies: 3–5 years (manufacturer). Glass-tube neon: 12–18 months on workmanship with partner-workshop tube warranty pass-through. Transformers (glass-tube): manufacturer warranty per CEA-compliant specs. Fabrication workmanship: 24 months. Installation workmanship: 12 months. Outdoor weatherproofing: 24 months. Warranty cards and documentation form part of the handover packet.

Does IBS manufacture traditional glass-tube neon signs?

Yes — traditional glass-tube neon is a specialty IBS capability, executed via specialised partner glass-bending workshops. IBS owns design, mounting structure, high-voltage transformer specification per CEA standards, and on-site installation. Glass-tube neon is most commonly chosen for heritage installations, art-installation neon, architectural feature neon, and bar / restaurant heritage signage where the classic neon aesthetic is the primary intent.

Can IBS execute neon signage for bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues?

Yes — hospitality (bars, restaurants, hotels, F&B chains) is the dominant neon sign board sector by volume for IBS. We execute LED neon for storefront fascia, custom logo neon for brand walls, RGB programmable for entertainment-focused venues, architectural neon for premium hospitality, and pre-opening lead-time discipline for grand-opening date compliance. Multi- outlet hospitality rollouts with centralised brand standards are routine engagements.

What is IP65 and why does it matter for outdoor neon?

IP65 is the international ingress-protection rating for outdoor LED neon enclosures — "6" indicates complete protection against dust, "5" indicates protection against water jets from any direction. For Indian outdoor neon facing monsoon rain, dust storms, and high humidity, IP65 is the minimum specification for LED neon strip and power supplies in outdoor installations. Lower-rated assemblies fail prematurely through water ingress and dust accumulation.

Can IBS execute neon for pharmacies and healthcare signage?

Yes — pharmacy cross signage (the green-cross or red-cross format common across Indian retail pharmacies) is a routine IBS engagement category. We manufacture LED neon strip in green or red for the cross-format, clinic identity neon for high-end practices, and 24×7 illumination installations where consistent night-visibility matters for healthcare wayfinding and emergency identification.

What does the handover packet include?

The handover packet contains as-built drawings, BOQ marked with actual installed components, electrical test certificates (insulation resistance, megger, surge-protection verification), LED neon and power-supply manufacturer warranty documents, controller programming documentation for RGB engagements, photographic record of each unit installed, asset register with serial numbers and warranty terms, and service contact information for ongoing maintenance.

How does IBS compare to a typical neon LED-strip assembler?

Most "neon manufacturers" in India are LED-strip assemblers — buying flexible LED neon from import wholesalers, assembling into basic shapes, and installing with sub-contracted labour. IBS is vertically integrated — in-house LED neon fabrication using the same facility that builds our LED channel letters and acrylic LED sign boards, named-brand components on the BOQ, BCAS clearance for airport retail, and 15+ years of execution discipline.

Can IBS execute architectural and custom-shape neon installations?

Yes — architectural and custom-shape neon (column-wrapping neon, arch-illuminated neon, ceiling-suspended neon, curved facade neon, bespoke artistic neon) is a routine IBS engagement category for premium hospitality, corporate flagship offices, and bar / nightclub interiors where neon is part of the architectural design language. We fabricate custom-shape LED neon via CNC-cut acrylic forms with flexible LED strip routing, suspended-mount installations with concealed wiring, and column- wrapping neon with conformal LED arrays.
