The most common options for lighting interior signage is through LED and Neon lights.
Before we dive into the differences, let’s start with why you even need lighting?
When you’re walking or driving by, let’s face it, an illuminated sign is going to capture your attention way faster than an unlit sign. That means the difference in choosing your store or your competitors.
But why do I need lighting? I’m only open during the daytime.
Even during the day, lighting can make a big impact. If your lobby sign is illuminated, it’s going to make a much bigger and memorable first impression on your customers.
Also, just because you close at 5pm doesn’t mean potential customers aren’t walking/driving by after that. They’re not choosing to work with you because they didn’t notice your office.
Let your signage work for you even when you’re not there!
So how do you know which type of lighting to pick?
Well, let’s start with the perks of our top choice, LED lights:
