The finished sign.
We were in the Tucson mall today converting a sign to LED illumination. The sign for Journeys Kidz, a children’s shoe store, has a routed aluminum face with back-lit acrylic. The face of the sign has also been sand-blasted and painted. The sign was originally lit by fluorescent lamps. These lamps tend to burn out more quickly and require more maintenance. We took out the lamps and in their place wired the sign to be lit using LED’s. The LED lighting is not only cheaper to maintain but it is also cheaper on electricity when the sign is lit. LEDs have the added benefit of being brighter so Journeys Kidz sign stand out just a little better now than it used to!
This is the original lighting inside the sign, using the fluorescent lamps.
This is the sign after it has been converted to the LED lighting.
