Summary
This occupation involves heating and bending glass tubes, attaching electrodes, filling with enclosed gases such as neon gas, and manufacturing luminous tubes. Used for neon signs in stores and advertisements.
Description
Neon tube manufacturing workers heat glass tubes with a burner to bend them into the desired shape, attach electrodes to both ends, perform vacuuming and gas enclosure, and confirm quality through withstand voltage tests and leak tests. They may also apply colored glass coating or surface treatment, and high-design neon sign production requires fine adjustments and advanced skills.
Future Outlook
Due to the spread of LED lighting, demand for traditional neon signs is on a decreasing trend, but in niche fields such as art and store staging, a certain level of demand is expected to continue.
