Lighting the Way: LED Benefits and How They Enhance Custom Sign Design

April 1, 2024 · Luke Markey

Reading Time: 4 mins

The business world is constantly evolving and changing. If you want to remain competitive, you’ll have to occasionally rethink not only your business model but also how your business is perceived. In the early days of light-up signs, traditional incandescent light bulbs were usually affixed to signs, but now, in the modern world of energy efficiency, LED lighting is at the forefront.

Adding LED lights to your ShieldCo custom metal sign has many benefits. Whether you’re trying to attract attention or you’re looking to add a cool light source to your personal space, ShieldCo can affix LED lighting to most custom sign designs.

Why Are LED Lights Good?

There are several reasons you should fit your ShieldCo metal sign with LED lighting over conventional lighting or no lighting. For one thing, it creates an environmental impact that grabs attention.

If you’re running a business and want attention, LED lighting provides that, and a beautiful display pays for itself in advertising fees. Research shows that people will remember an ad 80% of the time if it is lit up with lights. People will want to see it, take pictures, and remember your brand. LED lights offer five important features over other forms of lighting like neon lights or incandescent bulbs.

1. They Are Energy Efficient

LED lights, or light-emitting diodes, are some of the most energy-efficient ways to produce light. What this means for you is savings on things like replacing lights and can save energy costs.

2. They Are Enduring Tech

LED lights are robust, and LED technology maintains brilliance over time, making sure that they create a bright atmosphere no matter where you put them.

3. They Have a Longer Life Span

Compared to other forms of lights, LED lights have a considerably longer lifespan. LED bulbs can last between 50,000 to 100,000 hours, about 3-6 years longer than fluorescent or neon.

4. They Are Eco-Conscious

Aside from being an excellent way of maintaining energy efficiency, LED lighting is also less of an environmental hazard. LED bulbs also don’t contain any harmful elements like mercury or argon.

5. Design Adaptability

An LED light installation on your sign can be an excellent way to show off who you are. ShieldCo allows customers to customize their lights in a way they see fit. LED lights are a great choice, no matter whether they’re used to backlight, for cut-out lighting, or for box lighting. There is also a range of colors and styles of LED lighting available that can reflect your message.

The ShieldCo Method

ShieldCo works with you to make sure your sign is the perfect result of your vision alongside our skills, and when fitting a sign with LED lights, we’ll ensure you get exactly what you want.

When you choose ShieldCo for a sign with lighting, we’ll deliver you easy-to-follow instructions on the best practices for setup. Customers will also receive a remote to turn the sign on and off, change the colors, and cycle through modes—now that’s customization!

What Else Do Our Signs Offer?

  • Premium LED light bulbs that are equivalent to a 60-watt light. Other lighting options can use up to 5x more electricity.
  • Powered by 12-volt LED lights to reduce heat emanating from the fixture.
  • Ease of installation: all you have to do is put up your sign and plug it in. Circuitry and soldering make your sign ready to go. Go the extra mile and install an outlet behind the sign to avoid seeing the power cord.
