Our LED neon technology is designed for simplicity, safety, and style.

PLANNING YOUR PERFECT GLOW πŸ“

Stop! Before you start drilling, you need a plan. A Ztylist sign is a statement piece, so placement is everything.

  • FIND YOUR POWER: Make sure your chosen spot is near a standard power outlet. You don't want messy extension cords ruining your aesthetic!
  • CHECK THE HEIGHT: For neon wall art, eye level is usually best. If it’s going above a bed, leave enough space so you don't bump it while dreaming.
  • MARK THE SPOTS: Hold your sign against the wall (or ask a friend to help) and use a pencil to mark the mounting holes through the acrylic backboard.

PRO TIP: Use a spirit level! Nothing kills a vibe faster than a crooked sign. Keep it straight, sharp, and seamless!!!


METHOD 1: THE PROFESSIONAL WALL MOUNT (STAINLESS STEEL STAND-OFFS) πŸ› οΈ

This is the most popular way to install neon wall art. It uses our signature stainless steel stand-offs, which create a 3D effect by holding the sign slightly away from the wall. This allows the vibrant light to bleed out the back, creating a stunning halo effect.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:

  1. DRILL YOUR HOLES: Use your pencil marks to drill small holes into the wall.
  2. INSERT ANCHORS: Tap the provided wall anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall.
  3. MOUNT THE BASES: Unscrew the stand-off barrels. Screw the base of each stand-off into the wall anchors.
  4. ALIGN THE SIGN: Place your Ztylist sign over the bases so the holes in the acrylic line up.
  5. SECURE THE CAPS: Screw the top caps of the stand-offs through the sign and into the bases. Hand-tighten until secure and stable.

SAFE, SILENT, AND STUNNING. Your sign is now a permanent part of your room's personality.

METHOD 2: THE ELEGANT HANG (STAINLESS STEEL WIRE) ⛓️

Do you want a floating look? Or maybe you want to hang your sign in a window or from a ceiling grid? The hanging wire method is elegant, versatile, and quick.

This is perfect for businesses like salons or studios where you want the sign to be visible from both sides. It’s also a great choice for neon signs for bedroom windows!

HOW TO DO IT:

  1. ATTACH CLIPS: Hook the small carabiners or clips into the pre-drilled holes at the top of your sign.
  2. THREAD THE WIRE: Run the stainless steel wire through the clips.
  3. SECURE TO CEILING/WALL: Use heavy-duty hooks or our specific hanging hardware to attach the other end of the wire to your desired height.
  4. ADJUST & LEVEL: Make sure the wire length is even on both sides so your Ztylist art hangs perfectly straight.

PLUG, PLAY, AND PARTY. You’ve just created a masterpiece!


METHOD 3: THE RENTER-FRIENDLY HACK (COMMAND STRIPS) 🏠

Living in an apartment? Don't want to lose your deposit over a few drill holes? We’ve got you covered! Because Ztylist signs are made with lightweight LED flex and acrylic, many of our smaller signs can be mounted using high-quality adhesive strips (like 3M Command Strips).

PLEASE NOTE: Only use this for smaller, lighter signs. For large custom logos, always use the screw mount for safety!

THE NO-DRILL STEPS:

  1. CLEAN THE WALL: Use rubbing alcohol to ensure the surface is spotless and dry.
  2. APPLY STRIPS: Place the adhesive strips on the back of the acrylic board, avoiding the LED tracks.
  3. PRESS & HOLD: Press the sign firmly against the wall for at least 30 seconds.
  4. WAIT: Let the adhesive set for an hour before plugging the sign in.

EASY, EFFECTIVE, AND EFFORTLESS!!! Your landlord will never know, and your room will look incredible.

POWERING UP & DAZZLING ✨

Now for the best part. It’s time to light it up!

Connect the lead from your sign to the Ztylist power adapter. If you have a dimmer, plug it in between the sign and the adapter. Finally, plug the adapter into your wall outlet.

CLICK!

Suddenly, your room is bathed in vibrant color. Whether it's a calming warm white for a bedroom or a bold RGB color-change for your gaming rig, the transformation is instant. Our LEDs are energy-efficient, meaning you can keep the glow going all night without worrying about the electric bill!

FAQ: YOUR TOP INSTALLATION QUESTIONS ANSWERED ❓

This is part of our Daily Neon FAQ Series! We are answering your most burning questions every single day.

Q: Do I need a professional electrician to install my Ztylist sign?
A: NO!!! Our signs are designed for DIY installation. They use a standard plug-in power adapter. If you can hang a picture frame, you can install a Ztylist sign!

Q: Can I install my neon sign outdoors?
A: Yes, but you must specify this during your order! We offer IP65 waterproof protection for outdoor signs. Standard indoor signs should stay away from moisture.

A: Great question! You can use clear cable clips, paintable wire covers, or simply tuck the wire behind furniture. Because our wires are thin and often clear, they are very easy to conceal.

Q: Is the sign heavy?
A: Not at all! Most of our neon wall art is surprisingly lightweight, which is why they are so easy to mount on standard drywall or even wood.
