Neon lights are rare these days, or they are common, but often covered with acrylic in order to form more diverse array of forms, like letters in different fonts and logos. So, finding neon tubes used as such in signs is not common. There is however, a certain "retro movement" going on, and neon tubes are again used in new contexts. Few years ago a new under passage for pedestrians was built close to Tampere railway station, and there the neon tube signs now work as information signs telling what is the purpose of the under passage.
