Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of illuminated signs are there?

    Common types include LED channel letters, lightbox or cabinet signs, push-through letter signs, and externally lit signs using spotlights or gooseneck lamps.

  • Are LED signs better than fluorescent or neon?

    For most businesses, yes. LEDs use less energy, last longer, and handle cold weather better than fluorescent tubes, which can dim or flicker in winter.

  • What is a lightbox sign?

    A lightbox, or cabinet sign, is an enclosed box with translucent faces lit from inside. The printed faces can be swapped when branding or tenants change.

  • Can illuminated signs run on a timer?

    Yes. Most lit signs can be connected to a timer or photocell, so they turn on at dusk and off at a set time without anyone flipping a switch.

  • Do illuminated signs have extra permit rules?

    Often, yes. Many sign codes limit brightness, hours, flashing, or animation, and lit signs also need electrical work that meets code.
