LED Sign Lighting
We offer the option to have your sign custom fit with LED LIGHTing that gives your sign a striking illumination, transforming any space!
“ShieldCo did such an incredible job with our sign - every single detail exceeded our expectations and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Such beautiful craftsmanship and the lights give it that extra wow factor!!”
Lighting really makes your sign stand out.
We use LED’s to illuminate signs for a number of reasons including:
LONGEVITY — CUSTOMIZATION — EFFICIENCY — SAFETY
The LED lights we use on our custom metal signs are rated for 40,000 hours and with normal use can last over 10 years!
Each sign comes with a remote control which allows you to turn the sign on and off, change the color of the lights, dim the lights, or have them animate through various colors with one of the preset modes.
A premium LED illuminated signs will only use about as much electricity as a 60 watt light bulb. Other lighting options can use more than 5 times as much electricity!
The LED lights are powered with 12 volts which reduces the heat produced by each bulb.
When attaching lighting to a sign we consider factors such as layering, size of the sign, fastening points and layer pass throughs, the placement of lights for best highlights, as well as what colors will fit the work best. The process of placing lights onto a sign involves building circuits and soldering wires together, using connectors to maintain constant current throughout the power load.
Though the process can be lengthy, the end result is always a sight to behold, turning heads and standing out. Signs we apply LED’s to are typically for interior use only.
ShieldCo illuminated signs are still amazingly easy to install! Our indoor signs never require specialized or tricky installation, normally installed with basic household tools. ShieldCo LED lit signs simply plugs into your wall outlet and are ready to go upon arrival.
Pro-Tip: Go the extra mile and have an outlet installed behind the sign to avoid seeing the power cord.
We do spotlighting projects as well. Spotlighting is when a light system is not directly attached to a sign but is directed from a distance. This is a good method of providing illumination for interior and exterior locations.
