Although neon advertising signs account for the bulk of its use, neon also functions in high-voltage
indicators, lightning arrestors, wave meter tubes, and TV tubes. Neon and helium are used in making gas
lasers. Liquid neon is now commercially available and is finding important application as an economical
cryogenic refrigerant.
