On December 3, 1910, French physicist Georges Claude unveiled the world’s first neon lamp at the Paris Motor Show.
This invention marked a breakthrough in lighting technology,
offering a new, vibrant alternative to traditional gas lamps and incandescent bulbs.
The neon lamp used neon gas,
which glowed bright red when electrified,
creating a distinct and captivating light that would later become iconic in signs, advertising, and cityscapes around the world.
