Technology using LEDs is used today in the production of various products, not only in the manufacture of LED acrylic signs or luminous signs from other materials. There are lot of different products, including interior and street lamps. The widespread use of such technology indicates its popularity. With the help of LED lights, various rooms can be effectively illuminated. This light is emitted by modern energy-saving traffic lights. LEDs are also used in the manufacture of car headlights. It is quite obvious why they began to be used in the manufacture of LED open signs. These products have become a popular method for outdoor advertising. Luminous advertising structures serve as architectural decoration, much like other products that adorn facades, trees, boulevards, etc.
Types of LED signs:
- LED light boxes (light boxes).
- LED light panels: frame light, acrylic light.
- LED light channel letters.
- A LED message board.
LED Light box
Inside the box there are LEDs; on the front, there is a poster under acrylic milk glass or an image on banner fabric (for especially large light boxes). The standard dimensions of the light box depend on the unified poster format: 180 x 120 cm, 150 x 70 cm, 120 x 90 cm, 60 x 60 cm. The size of the LED light box determines the thickness of the acrylic glass used: from 3 to 5 mm. Light boxes can be single and double-sided. A double-sided LED sign box is used for the largest city lights formats or a design in the form of a “flag” attached to a wall perpendicularly.
LED Frame light
This is a very thin (35 mm thick) one-sided or two-sided acrylic panel with frontal illumination, framed by an aluminum profile with built-in LEDs. A click-profile system makes it possible to quickly change the poster.
Acrylight
Acrylic LED sign board is a light panel made of transparent acrylic, on which the text or image is engraved. It is highlighted from the end by an LED strip mounted in an aluminum profile: from above, from below, on two sides, or on all four. The frameless system distinguishes acrylic from frame light and creates a feeling of weightlessness.
At the ends and contours of the engraving, the impression of an iridescent “neon” glow appears. You can change the color and rhythm of lighting with the controller and create a dynamic action on the panel.
LED Light channel letters
LED backlighting allows you to create innovative varieties of letters with changing lighting effects. The text can flash, turn on and off, and change color sharply or gradually. Such a “performance” attracts much more attention than static advertising.
LED Ticker
The text is displayed on an electronic LED letter board. Words move and phrases become sentences that can be read by observers. Changing letters are fascinating, but more impressive effects exist like using simple graphics, or an unusually unfolding inscription.
Where is the LED creeping line applied?
A running line is placed on the facade. However, this is not a static sign as it contains changing information like promotions, new items, and bonus events.
Such a board can be inside, and on public transport. Common information recorded on a scoreboard with a running line include the exact time, air temperature, name of the next stop, schedule of arrival of transport. On the street, the information board maintains a temperature range from -40°C to -40°C. The effects of a running line include:
- text movement down, up, to the side,
- dynamic font change,
- resizing letters,
- dashed or dotted letters,
- speed adjustment,
- curtains and pauses, and
- Added graphics.
Creeping line control
Management occurs in various ways, but each can easily be mastered by the customer:
- Through a local network that is connected to another similar device.
- From the IBM keyboard.
- Via a PC connected to a USB port with an appropriate device.
- Via the Bluetooth Cellular Channel.
The undeniable advantage of the running line is that there is no need to spend money on printing. Why print material that will soon lose relevance? It’s enough just to change the information on the sign.
Adaptation to exterior residences
When the LED signs display is used in outdoor advertising, measures are taken against the negative effects of atmospheric phenomena. For this purpose, cases protecting against dust and moisture, gluing of printed circuit boards, thermal insulation and ventilation are used. Another difficult phenomenon is the sun’s rays, which reduce the contrast by illuminating the characters. Use of the brightest LEDs helps with this.
LED letter lights: popular questions
Question: Illuminated signs are durable designs?
Answer: Yes, their service life is many years. At the same time, the durability of led word lights is provided not only by the technical features of LEDs. If we take neon designs for comparison, then they are very easy to damage. Neon tubes are easy to break. In turn, the materials used for LED backlighting are difficult to cause damage. This fact affects the duration of the advertising design with LED backlight.
Question: Is it easy to install, connect outdoor led signs?
Answer: For the initial connection, we recommend using the help of a specialist. This is lighting equipment, it requires certain knowledge. If you do not have such knowledge, it is better to attract a wizard who can install, connect an illuminated advertising design. In addition, he will be able to advise you on how to operate the luminous sign.
Question: Is it possible to adjust the brightness of the led letter sign?
Answer: Yes, of course. If necessary, there is always the opportunity to set the optimum brightness. The degree of brightness of the light flux is not just possible, but even needs to be adjusted. Since the effect that the LED advertising sign will have on attracting the attention of potential customers depends on this moment. If this is custom led signs indoor, then its degree of brightness will differ from the degree of brightness of the structure installed on the street.
Question: Is the scrolling led sign more efficient than a regular backlit sign?
Answer: This version of the advertising structure has an additional effect – the information periodically changes. Change of information, its blinking automatically attracts attention. A greater effect is observed in the dark, a person instantly notices a blinking sign with changing information.
