Update Your Sign to Use LED Bulbs

You might be using outdated technology to illuminate your sign! In 2012, 14 million people had switched to using LED bulbs in their homes. By 2014 that number had grown to 78 million people. But the use of LED bulbs doesn’t have to be limited to the home, business owners can use LED to save money at work too.

One of the services we provide most frequently is converting lit signs that use outdated incandescent bulbs or neon to use LED bulbs. Making the switch to LED is a smart decision that will benefit both the environment and your wallet. A standard LED bulb will last anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 hours of use, meaning that once your sign has been converted you won’t need to replace the bulbs for a long time. Switching to LED will not only save you the hassle of having to constantly replace burnt bulbs, but it will save you money on your electric bill. The total cost of using incandescent bulbs for 25,000 hours at $0.12 per kWh will run you about $180 (not including the cost of purchasing several replacement bulbs). The cost to use LED in the same scenario totals about $30, and you only have to purchase one bulb. Making the switch to LED in your sign will save you money, eliminate the chore of frequently replacing bulbs, and will give your sign a bright, professional look.

A recent project of this nature that we have completed is for Gates Professional Building. We gutted the outdated innards of their light box and replaced them with LED strips. Before we had taken this project on the sign was unevenly lit and required a tedious amount of upkeep and attention. Now that it has been outfitted with LED bulbs it will run more efficiently, shine even and bright, and require much less maintenance than when it used outdated bulbs.
