Questions

Illuminated & Non-illuminated Signs: common questions

Should I choose an illuminated or a non-illuminated sign?

Illuminated signage earns its cost where the business trades after dark or sits on a busy road — it keeps working when daylight stops. Non-illuminated signage suits interiors, heritage frontages and situations where a quieter, lower-maintenance marker is the right answer.

Are LED signs cheaper to run than older illuminated signs?

LED modules draw substantially less power and last far longer than the fluorescent and gas-tube lighting they replaced, which is why they are now the default for new illuminated signage.

Can an illuminated sign be switched off at night?

Yes. Timers and photocells can run the sign to a schedule or to ambient light levels, and dimming is available where a full-brightness sign would be too much for the setting.
