Why LED lighting works for illuminated signs

Illuminated signs are popular choices for shops that have to compete for attention on crowded high streets. These signs certainly stand out, but you have more than one option when it comes to the lighting. There is neon, filament bulbs or LED lights – and there is a case to be made for the latter.

Energy efficient

LED lights are more energy efficient than the other choices. They use roughly 10 watts – whereas neon ones use almost 80% more than that.

This is because they are tightly placed together to produce steady, overlapping light, which means they will help with the environment – and with your business overheads.

Long lasting

Another way in which LED lights will reduce the running costs for your company compared with other types of lighting is by lasting longer. The light emitting diodes typically keep going between two to four times as long as fluorescent bulbs. In comparison with incandescent bulbs, they last 40 times as long!

Highly durable

Parts of the UK are prone to severe weather conditions, with the North West being one of them.

LED signs are ideal for such places because they do not have to be shielded against either wind or rain. They are also extremely easy to keep clean, as they do not produce any gases or get very hot when switched on. This makes everyday maintenance a breeze.
