What is LED?
Light-emitting diodes (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. LEDs are used in numerous devices and in a large variety of industries including the aviation, automotive, advertising, and traffic industries among others. LEDs have many advantages over more traditional light sources such as incandescent bulbs, which may explain the popularity of LED technology in recent years. LED technology is being used more and more in advertising and illuminated signage. Converting your sign to LED is a smart and efficient choice.
Why LED?
Gain exceptional savings and increased visibility when you upgrade your outdoor commercial box or channel letter signage from bulbs to LEDs. Converting your sign to LED technology is a smart choice that will save you money and energy. Light-emitting diodes have a low energy consumption, low maintenance and are small, thus making them ideal for signs. Furthermore, LED technology provides exceptional performance for box sign, border lighting, and channel letter applications. Because of their high output and focus offering more consistency when it comes to brightness and uniformity, LEDs are a great solution for commercial signs and advertisements.
LED lighting systems provide significant energy cost reduction and are long-lasting, requiring less frequent maintenance. Some clients experience energy cost savings between 30% and 50%, which is a significant amount considering the cost of converting your sign from bulbs to LED technology.
Additionally, LED lighting systems provide uniform lighting for the entire signage while being consistently brighter and more visible to viewers. This is especially interesting for businesses located in high-traffic areas, be it pedestrian or motor traffic, as for example tourist neighbourhoods, main thoroughfares and so on. Being more visible will allow you to stand out from the crowd and help you drive more clients to your business.
Switching to an LED lighting system also presents a more environmentally friendly approach because of its lower energy consumption. According to recent studies in the United States, the use of LED lighting can decrease electrical power use and carbon emissions by as much as 34% compared to fluorescent lighting. This is particularly relevant to signs as they are on all the time.
