Why Should I Use Backlit Signs for My Business?

Illuminated signs are contemporary and eye-catching. Signs are an important element in a business’ overall presentation, with consumers requiring split seconds to register appearances and form an opinion based purely on sign looks.

It’s essential to put your best foot forward. Compared to conventional, unlit signage, backlighting carries all sorts of enhancements:

• Durability. SpeedPro uses high-resolution base fabrics and UV-resistant inks on all backlit signage orders. High-resolution bases ensure overlaid graphics and text remain sharp and clear, whether seen from long-distances or when standing right beneath a sign. The average LED light fixture should keep signage glowing between 30,000-50,000 hours. Higher-quality commercial-grade LEDs can exceed even that.
• Cost-effective. Today’s backlit signage displays are incredibly economical to install and maintain. Energy-efficient LED bulbs power the sign’s luminosity, sometimes costing just over a dollar a day. A business’ current signs can even be retrofitted to include the necessary illumination components, providing even further cost-savings compared to creating a brand new business or storefront sign. Consult a visual-communications studio on the latest illuminated signage designs and products to get the most bang for your buck.
• Compliant. City regulations and street codes effect what kinds of backlit signs can be installed and where they can be installed. However, the vast majority of commercial illuminated signs comply with standard National Electric Codes and municipality electrical requirements. What’s more, LED-backlit signage doesn’t have the potential for gas leaks, as is the case with neon lights. Gas leaks can diminish the quality and brightness of a storefront’s sign as well as risk violations and citations if found non-compliant with city codes.
• Backlit signage is versatile. Illuminated signs are safe for indoor and outdoor installation. Buildings can use them for compliance or wayfinding purposes, as well as for branded lobbies, conference rooms or meeting space signs. Various sign types carry distinct visual effects as well, from 3D, contour cut-like detailing to flashing, multi-colored bulbs. Wherever there’s a nearby power source, backlit graphics are viable.
