Britain’s Pre-War Glow Problem
On paper it reads like satire: on the eve of the Second World War, Luminous Lights UK the House of Commons was debating glowing shopfronts.
Gallacher, never one to mince words, stood up and asked the Postmaster-General a peculiar but pressing question. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves?
The figure was no joke: roughly one thousand cases logged in a single year.
Picture it: the soundtrack of Britain in 1938, interrupted not by enemy bombers but by shopfront glow.
Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. But here’s the rub: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it.
He said legislation was being explored, but admitted consultations would take "some time".
In plain English: no fix any time soon.
Gallacher shot back. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.
Mr. Poole piled in too. If neon was a culprit, weren’t cables buzzing across the land just as guilty?
Tryon deflected, admitting it made the matter "difficult" but offering no real solution.

From today’s vantage, it feels rich with irony. Neon was once painted as the noisy disruptor.
Fast forward to today and it’s the opposite story: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection.

What does it tell us?
First: neon has always rattled cages. It’s always pitted artisans against technology.
Now it’s dismissed as retro fluff.
---
The Smithers View. We see proof that neon was powerful enough to shake Britain.
Call it quaint, London neon signs call it heritage, but it’s a reminder. And it always will.

Forget the fake LED strips. Authentic glow has history on its side.
If neon could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now.
Choose craft.
Smithers has it.
