A Brighter Future...Using Less Energy™

Signs Manufacturing incorporates a patent pending modern high-tech design into our unique new-look concept.

Channel Letters with LetterLites™ LED first-surface lighting is a hands-down winner.

LetterLites™ LED first-surface lighting systems feature Solarbrite™ LED’s that are optically enhanced to appear larger.

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 channel letter 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.  LetterLites™ gives you choices, unlike all other forms of lighting.

LetterLites™ 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 channel letter is comparable to a traditional channel letter sign when not lighted.

In other words, a LetterLites™ channel letter sign will always look better, and attract more attention, than any channel letter sign ever built previously; and it uses less energy!

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.  Of course a single LED is much smaller than the smallest piece of neon, so many of them are necessary to light an object uniformly.

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.

Unlike virtually every other LED sign currently manufactured, each individual LetterLites™ 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.

Solarbrite™ LetterLites™ 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.  Colors can be mixed or matched.

The spacing on the LED's can be 15mm, 25mm, 35mm, 45mm, random, or custom pitch to create any "look" you desire.  Enlarge the picture and note the different spacing and patterns in the letters to the right.

 

NIGHTTIME COMPARISON                       DAYTIME COMPARISON

         

Comparison of:

• A LetterLites™ LED Channel Letter "H" EnergyStar Sign

•  A "S" exposed double-stroke red neon channel letter

• A "I" internally LED lighted white channel letter with red vinyl graphics

• A "G" Day/Night Black/White channel letter

• A "N" blue acrylic internally lighted channel letter with a blue backplate

Differences Sell.

Light Sells.

When deciding on channel letter style and colors consider which direction the sign will face.

Shadows from building elements and the letters/raceways themselves can dramatically affect the daytime readability of a channel letter sign, unless you incorporate LetterLites™ faces.

For signs facing East, South or West consider using a backplate in a contrasting color, or  LetterLites™ faces to break the effects of shadows.

Existing channel letter signs can be easily and economically upgraded with LetterLites™ faces.

Your storefront is your customers image of your store.  Totally modernize that image, usually for less than $6,000, or $150.00 per month if leased.

Your image will be New, Different, Stunning, Modern, Attention-getting.

The upgrade is self-installable, saving money.

Rather than the problems you are having with your current sign, your new faces will even work under water.  The lamps have a 60,000 hour projected lifetime, but even if one burns out the LEDs are replaceable and the entire sign will be virtually self-serviceable.

However, because our LEDs are wired parallel, not in series, if a lamp burns out only that lamp won’t light, not an entire sign section as with a neon-lighted sign or most LED internally lighted signs.

These signs use less than 1/2 of the electricity of a neon sign.  This translates into LESS THAN $200 per year TOTAL ENERGY COST.

Because this is an upgrade of an existing sign, no city permits are required in most cities, keeping building inspectors away from your business.
