led signs

LED signs have quickly risen in popularity over other methods of illumination due to their potential as a long-term business investment. LED bulbs are long-lasting, and consume less energy, while producing a strong light. A review by the U.S. Department of Energy found that the lifespan of LED bulbs is 25x longer than that of traditional light bulbs. So there may be a slightly higher upfront cost compared to traditional light bulbs, but you will see long-term savings due to their energy efficiency.

The durability of an LED bulb’s protective plastic casing also ensures that they can withstand rougher handling then, say, bulbs that rely on delicate filament. There’s also no worry of gas dissipating over time. In addition, because they give off less heat, LED signs are convenient to use indoors. In general, the maintenance requirements are pretty basic and the benefits of LEDs create quite an extensive list. The bulbs are smaller so you can design thinner illuminated signs than you could before. And, unlike neon lights, LEDs can be disposed of with minimal environmental impact.

Like with other illuminated signs, you have a variety of design options to choose from within this category. A face-lit LED sign, whether it’s a cabinet sign or a 3D channel letter sign, will offer the greatest clarity. However, a halo-lit sign has a classy appeal that might stand out a bit more with its uniqueness. If you’d rather not choose, use both! For instance, the white LEDs in your channel letter sign can create a beautiful halo backlight while the colour of the material of the letter faces can transform the white LED light into a different colour in the front.

In general, LED signs offer a clear brightness, that can be seen from quite a distance and can cut through bad weather. If you’re looking for an illuminated sign with minimal maintenance, LED-lit signs are the answer.
