Hi Nicky,
The sign's color will be so narrow band the difference between
tungsten & daylight film will likely only be a slight shade cooler or
'warmer'
Is there anything else in the shot important color-wise ?
I wouldn't let it go more than 2 ish stops over if you want to retain
all it's color -- that said you can blow out the center of the tube
to white and still will see green @ it's edges if you don't want to
underexpose everything else --
Reversal or negative ?
