Make a shining impression with an LED backlit sign. These signs consist of a large format graphic illuminated from behind with LED lights. There’s a reason Emmy’s are handed out for lighting design. Lighting plays a major role in visibility and setting the mood. Much thought and care is also required when designing a custom LED backlit display.

While these signs are certainly head-turning at night, the high-quality images and vibrant graphics can effectively turn heads during the day, too. Improve your company’s visibility and stick in consumers’ minds with a backlit display. They are great for:

1. 1. 1. Promoting products. Put the spotlight on your products with full-color, striking imagery.

      2. Events. Generate excitement for your next event with a well-lit, unique design promoting your upcoming event.

      3. Helps your company get noticed at trade shows. Make your business stand out from the rows and rows of trade show booth displays with backlit signage. Using a brightly-lit sign shows that your company thinks outside of the (light) box!

      4. Branding your company. Reinforce your branding and improve brand recognition by keeping your colors, design and messaging consistent with your business’ existing brand.

LED Signs & Tips

LED signs will most certainly get your company noticed, but get even more bang for your marketing buck by following these crucial tips:

• • Consider where the LED signs will be placed. A sign displayed in a room with low light will require different lighting than one that is more brightly lit. The same is true of a sign displayed indoor versus out. Make sure to choose the appropriate amount of light for best viewing.
  • Distance from the graphic. Lights placed closer to the graphic film will glow brighter as opposed to being placed further away, which provides a softer all over glow. This will also be dependent on the depth of your sign cabinet.
  • The lighting spacing. Determine the spacing of LED lights to provide more consistent, even lighting and the level of brightness.
  • Color of LEDs makes a difference on your LED graphic. When designing your sign you can choose between the color temperatures; warm white or cool white. Your selection depends on the mood you’re trying to evoke. Cool white provides a brighter, bluish-toned color. Warm white provides a more soft, yellowish color. Whatever you do, don’t use neon in a corporate office. The light is too harsh for an office space. Instead, opt for elegant box lighting.
  • Angle it will be viewed. Put yourself in your audience’ shoes and check out the angle from which the backlit sign will be viewed before installation.
  • Ambient light. Light boxes provide soft, ambient light as opposed to glaring, severe neon or fluorescent lighting.
  • Avoid hot spots. There should be ample space between the graphic and the LED lights to avoid overly-bright areas, known as hot spots. Too close proximity and cheap graphic materials hamper the overall lighting consistency. Always use quality sign acrylics and translucent vinyl to avoid this problem.
  • Shallow cabinets require an LED with a wider viewing angle. This will provide a better image when viewed from different angles.
  • Light should be even throughout centers and edges. Doing so provides the best overall viewing quality.
  • Appropriate power supply. If overpowered, the LEDs will burn out. If underpowered, the power supply will burn out.
