Solarbrite™
PinLights™External LED Lighted Wall Cabinet Sign Faces
A Brighter Future...Using
Less Energy™
Signs Manufacturing incorporates a patent pending high-tech design into our unique
new-look concept.
PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting systems
feature Solarbrite™ LED’s that are optically enhanced to appear larger.
Cabinet
signs with color graphics and PinLights™ LED
first-surface lighting is a hands-down winner.
No other face-decorated cabinet sign incorporates direct lighting.
And when compared to incandescent lighting or fluorescent
back-lighted cabinet signs it is better-looking, cheaper, lasts longer, and uses
less energy.
PinLights™ can even "Twinkle." Importantly, the individual lights never go "off", they DO NOT "flash." Many cities ban flashing lights.
The US Small
Business Administration (SBA) says that an electronic message center will
increase a store's volume 15 to 150%.
The attribute that
makes LED Electronic Message Centers so effective is that they use light to
attract attention during the day.
This is the only
other sign face that can do so. With LED first-surface lighting,
again like electronic message centers, you determine the daytime brightness of
your sign by the density, colors, and patterns of lighting you choose.
PinLights™ gives you choices, unlike all other forms
of lighting.
PinLights™ can also comply
with many cities bans on flashing lights, which causes electronic message
centers to be banned or severely restricted, or they can flash or twinkle (in
multiple or varying colors.)
But at a minimum the decorated sign face is comparable to a traditional back-lighted sign
face when not lighted.
In other words, a
PinLights™ sign will always look better, and attract
more attention, than any cabinet sign ever built previously;
and...it can cost about
the same to purchase, but use less energy.
Many companies manufacture
LED’s. There are over 5,000 varied LED’s available,
and they vary greatly as to brightness, lux, light-dispersal
(viewing) angle, useful lifetime, and lifetime.
Some are very cheap, some are quite
expensive.
Signs Manufacturing only uses Solarbrite™ LED’s
that are rated to retain 80% of their brightness for
60,000+ hours. These are the most expensive, but highest value, LED’s.
Our selection of LED’s is what makes our signs brighter, and last longer.
As an example, a White Solarbrite™ LED is 280 lux, compared to our
BrighterSigns™ neon's 235 lux, or standard neon's 140 lux.
A Solarbrite™ LED incorporates a new kind of chip, different from all
other LED's. Signs Manufacturing is an industry leader in the
implementation of new technology in advertising.
Solarbrite™ LED’s utilize military specification
coatings on the circuit boards the LED’s are attached to,
preventing corrosion and electrical problems.
Like neon, LED’s are also affected by
voltage. For instance, an LED will also burn nearly
100% brighter if you double the power feeding it.
The LED will last about 1/6 as long, however, making this
alternative quite expensive in total cost.
We power our Solarbrite™ LED’s properly.
Solarbrite™ PinLights™ LED’s are available
in 5 fixed colors (Red, Green, Blue, White and Yellow) or as multi-color
infinitely-variable individual lights featuring 65,000,000 colors.
Unlike virtually every other LED sign currently manufactured, each individual PinLights™
LED is independently serviceable.
And if a single LED does fail all of the other LEDs still light. Our
wiring is in parallel, not in series.
In most instances
PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting systems can be
retrofitted to existing internally lighted cabinet signs, pole and pylon signs,
and Monument signs.
UL Listed Sign Component
Underwriter's Laboratory has evaluated PinLights™ and they have been approved for use in outdoor, damp and wet location signs.
UL Approval #E345252.
Ours are the only approved individual LED first-surface lighting products.
As the manufacturer we are very proud of this.
Solar Powered EnergyStar Signs™
PinLights™ Cabinet signs can be economically directly solar powered, without even using an energy-robbing inverter, saving you even more!
They are the only major business sign that can.
You are saving much more than just energy, and money.
Energy-Saving EnergyStar™ PinLights™ Signs
PinLights™ consume 0.1 watt per light at 5 volts DC! One thousand lights left on 8 hours per day for 365 days will use $4.01 in electricity.
"That's beautiful!"
