Neon can last decades. In practical terms the normal expected life span is between 8 to 15 years. Neon can be repaired and recharged as long as the tubing is not cracked/broken.
Complications that may occur include: 1  Tubes falling out after 1-2 months instead of 1-2 years which would require the tubes to be put back in. 2  Tubes have not fallen out after many years (>5+ years). That's also not a good situation and the tubes may need to be physically removed.
