What Are Illuminated Signs?
Illuminated signs are any type of signage that includes lighting to make the message or brand visible in low-light or night-time conditions. These signs are commonly used on building exteriors, inside retail spaces, in parking lots, and along high-traffic roads. Illuminated signs can be powered with LEDs or other lighting systems, and we create custom illuminated signs using materials and lighting systems that match your needs and budget. Whether you’re looking for front-lit letters or a full cabinet sign, we can build a solution that fits.
How Do Illuminated Signs Work?
Illuminated signs rely on sign illumination lights that are either installed inside the sign or directed at the sign from outside. These lights can include LED modules, fluorescent tubes, or other energy-efficient systems. Many of our clients choose LED lighting because it offers excellent brightness, low power usage, and long life. Channel letter signs, for example, are usually internally lit with LED strips. Lightbox or cabinet signs often use LED panels or fluorescent lighting to create even backlighting. For illuminated exit signs, we typically use low-wattage LEDs that comply with safety and building regulations. We install lighting systems with timers, dusk-to-dawn sensors, or manual switches, depending on your preference and property requirements.
Why Should I Choose Illuminated Signage for My Business?
If your business operates in the evening or is located in a competitive retail area, illuminated signage helps you stand out and draw attention. A well-lit sign is often the first thing potential customers notice, especially after dark or in poor weather. In addition to visibility, illuminated signs offer a level of professionalism and branding that unlit signage often lacks. When installed properly, lighting highlights your brand and makes it easier for people to find your location, improving foot traffic and recognition. Many of our clients choose illuminated signs for the reliability and durability they offer. With LED lighting and high-quality materials, these signs are built to last through seasonal changes, sun exposure, and daily wear.
