The reddish-orange color that neon emits in neon lights is widely used to make advertising signs and is also used in long tubular strips in car modification. The word "neon" is also used generically for these types of lights even though many other gases are used to produce different colors of light. Other uses:
vacuum tubes
high-voltage indicators
lightning arrestors
wave meter tubes
television tubes
Neon and helium are used to make a type of gas laser
Liquefied neon is commercially used as a cryogenic refrigerant in applications not requiring the lower temperature range attainable with more expensive liquid helium refrigeration.

Neon Important Uses

My day would be different because when I would go to Las Vegas to gamble there would be no neon advertising signs. Also when I get hungry and go to the bar there would be no T.V. even though there is a football game. And then if I went to a concert the special effects would only be okay because there wouldn't be helium-neon lasers. Then if my friend had a heart attack and I called 911 the police wouldn't come because they are chasing a robber that stole a precious ruby. Because they didn't have lasers to set off the alarm. That is how my day would be different.

-used in making neon advertising signs, which accounts for its largest use
-used to make high-voltage indicators, lightning arrestors, wave meter tubes, and TV tubes
-neon and helium are used in making gas lasers
-liquid neon is an economical cryogenic refrigerant. It has over 40 times more refrigerating capacity per unit volume than liquid helium and more than three times that of liquid hydrogen. It is compact, inert, and less expensive than helium when it meets refrigeration requirements

My brother drives his Dodge Neon to work. That is an important use.

It is often used in neon signs. Also, neon is a stable gas.

Its an efficient source of light? And it looks really pretty? Those sound like important reasons to me!
