Like the Radio City Music Hall sign

I believe the answer is:

neon

(Other definitions for neon that I've seen before include "illuminating agent" , "Gaseous element, in advertising signs, say" , "Brightly coloured advertising sign" , "Atomic number 10" , "Element 10, used in lights" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
