The discharged voltage of the reaction is the reason why the neon gas glows. You can see these neon signs in Midland TX, Manhattan, NY, and in some more business areas all over the world. As this gas fills the tubes, this creates lighting displays and then bent into different shapes to form letters or any designs.

Usually, restaurants or bars use these signs in promoting their business to the public. These is very helpful in attracting customers because of their brilliant colors and light that really stands out mainly at night.
