Frequently Asked Questions
What are non-illuminated signs?
They're signs without internal lighting, such as dimensional letters, flat panel signs, post and panel signs, and plaques. They rely on daylight or nearby lighting.
When is a non-illuminated sign a good choice?
They suit businesses open mainly during the day, office buildings, and spots already well lit at night, and they skip the cost of electrical work.
Can a non-illuminated sign be lit later?
Many can be lit later with external fixtures like gooseneck lamps or spotlights. Adding internal lighting usually means replacing the sign.
What are dimensional letters?
Dimensional letters are cut from materials like aluminum, acrylic, PVC, or foam and mounted individually to a wall for a raised, 3D look without lighting.
How long do non-illuminated signs last?
With quality materials, many last 10 years or more outdoors. Aluminum and acrylic hold up to Wisconsin weather better than lower-grade materials.
