Default Incandescent - Florescent - LED - or *NEON*

Anyone that knows something about electric knows that LED lights use far
less power than incandescent bulbs, and florescent bulbs fall somewhere
in the middle. So, we went from Incandescent to CFL (florescent) and now
LED is the best choice.

But one type of lighting that seems to be ignored are NEON lights. You
see them in every bar and many restaurants and some other places, but I
have never heard any power ratings for them. The typical bar signs are
multi-colored and do not always put out adaquate lighting, but what
would happen if neon tubes were white and sold in strips like florescent
bulbs (2' 4' 8' and so on)?

Using them in that way would likely give adaquate lighting, but I'm
curious to how they would rate compared to Incandescent, Florescent, or
LED....

Has anyone ever seen any power ratings, and comparisons for them?
