1939’s Strange Neon vs Wireless Battle
Looking back, it feels surreal: on the eve of the Second World War, Parliament was wrestling with the problem of neon interfering with radios.
Mr. Gallacher, an MP with a sharp tongue, demanded answers from the Postmaster-General. How many complaints had rolled in about wireless sets being ruined by neon signage?
The figure was no joke: roughly one thousand cases logged in a single year.
Think about it: neon signs London ordinary families huddled around a crackling set, desperate for dance music or speeches from the King, only to hear static and buzzing from the local cinema’s neon sign.
Major Tryon confessed the problem was real. The snag was this: shopkeepers could volunteer to add suppression devices, but they couldn’t be forced.
He said legislation was being explored, but admitted consultations would take "some time".
Which meant: more static for listeners.
Gallacher shot back. He pushed for urgency: speed it up, Minister, people want results.
Another MP raised the stakes. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders?
The Minister squirmed, basically admitting the whole electrical age was interfering with itself.

Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night.
Eighty years on, the irony bites: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection.

What does it tell us?
Neon has always been political, cultural, disruptive. It’s always pitted artisans against technology.
In 1939 it was seen as dangerous noise.
---
Our take at Smithers. We see proof that neon was powerful enough to shake Britain.
That old debate shows neon has always mattered. And that’s why we keep bending glass and filling it with gas today.
---
Ignore the buzzwords of "LED neon". Authentic glow has history on its side.
If vintage neon signs London could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now.
Choose glow.
Smithers has it.
