Wok bilong wokim ol neon lait em long yusim 'low-melting-point sodium-calcium silicate glass olsem 'tube', wokim ol kain kain paten na teks olsem ol i nidim, wokim wantaim wanpela 'blowtorch', 'sinter'im ol 'electrodes', rausim 'tube' yusim wanpela 'vacuum pump', pulapim wantaim ol narapela kala bilong 'gasy'.
Ol neon lait bilong nau i gat planti save moa. Sampela i save bendim glas paip i go long kain kain seip bilong wokim ol piksa we i luk nais moa; ol narapela i save karamapim insait wol bilong 'tube' wantaim 'fluorescent powder' bilong kisim ol kala i lait na i gat lait; sampela i gat ol 'automatic igniter', we i save mekim ol kain kain kala i lait bihain long narapela, na dispela i save kamapim wanpela naispela displei we i save lait long nait bilong siti.
Stat long taim ol i bin kamapim dispela neon lait long 1910, ol i bin laikim yet long moa long wanpela handet yia. Em i wanpela spesel 'low-pressure cold cathode glow discharge lait sos, i no olsem ol narapela 'arc lamp' olsem ol 'fluorescent lamp', 'high-pressure sodium lamp', 'metal halide lamp', 'mercury lamp', na 'incandescent lamp'. Ol neon lait i save givim lait long kol 'cathode glow discharge' bilong wanpela 'low-pressure inert gas' we i pulap insait long wanpela 'glass tube' aninit long wanpela 'high-voltage electric field. Kala bilong ol neon lait i save kamap long 'spectral characteristics' bilong 'inert gas' we ol i pulap long en: ol 'fluorescent neon lait' i pulap long neon na i save givim retpela lait; ol 'fluorescent neon' lait i pulap long 'argon' na 'mercury' na i save kamapim blu, yelo, na ol narapela kala. Tupela kain neon lait i save givim lait long rot bilong ol 'stimulated emission' bilong ol atom insait long wok ges insait long 'tube'.
