ABSTRACT:
A modular neon sign system comprising two or more independent neon or similar luminous tube segments. One or more of the luminous segments are arranged in generally parallel configuration across the remaining tube segments and each such parallel segment includes a series capacitive ballasting element to selectively control the current through the respective segment. Receptacles may be provided to facilitate the attachment of the parallel segments thereby forming detachable neon modules. The capacitive ballasting element is preferably a ceramic button-like disc that may be connected to an end of the parallel neon module or inserted into the receptacle. In one embodiment the several parallel segments are connected to a reduced tension constant voltage power supply. In a second erabodiment, a constant current power supply is continuously interconnected to one or more neon luminous tubes that define a fixed portion of the sign with the parallel segment(s) or module(s) being connected across said fixed portion.
