When it comes to effectively raising awareness of a product or service, lighted advertisements or neon signs are undoubtedly a proven and successful method of achieving this goal. This type of advertising has been in use for over a hundred years. Recently there have been significant technological advances in illuminated advertising and LED signage is the latest development in this field. In this article, I will provide you with 12 benefits why LED neon signs are more beneficial compared to traditional glass neon signs.
Longer Lifespan
Compared to traditional neon, LED neon signs have a longer lifespan. On average, LED signs have a lifespan of 50,000 hours. If you divide those hours by daily use, you may find that in some cases, LED neon only needs to be replaced every 34 years. This really is an almost unbeatable advantage over traditional glass signs. Check the packaging; it should provide you with the exact life cycle.
Low Energy Consumption
Luminous efficacy Current LED lights are around 80 - 100 lm/W (lumens per watt). High-power LEDs give more than 300 lm/W. Compare this to halogen lamps, which only provide about 12 lm/W. Thanks to this highly efficient LED technology, LEDs are more efficient than halogen lamps.
Due to this highly efficient LED technology, energy consumption is 6 to 8 times lower compared to glass signage. This reduces electricity bills significantly.
No risk of burns
Due to the high efficiency, LED signage generates significantly less waste heat than glass. Glass gets very hot, so you shouldn't touch it. Equipped with LEDs on the other hand, neon signs are usually just not hot or cold. Therefore there is hardly any risk of burns.
High Impact Resistance
Glass lighting systems are susceptible to impact. On top of that, LED signs are more durable in extreme weather conditions, resistant to vibration, and usually waterproof. The latter depends on what it is designed for. This is a great advantage for all neon signs that are mounted externally.
With LED Signs, No Switch On Delay
LED signs do not blink at power-up and provide their full brightness immediately.
Eye-catching Brightness
Eye-catching brightness is one of the main factors that distinguish LEDs from all other LED signage. The technology is so unique that it produces a bright, brilliant glow. This makes signage not only easy to see from afar; those LED signs are also easy to read; especially at night! They stand out with their bold brightness. But that's not all. Even in sunlight, LEDs are so intense that you can see them easily. In other words, no matter what time of day it is, if you pass by an LED signage sign or text, it's easily recognizable.
LED signage has an eye-catching appearance - a way to impress customers
Fluorescent signs have a difficult habit of keeping signs completely and consistently bright. Sometimes these neon signs give the impression that there is always one light or another that needs to be replaced. Sometimes the lights may appear dimmer than others. This not only leaves a bad impression on the sign, but also on your business. More importantly, your logo and message are hard to read. With LED lights, this problem is alleviated. Advanced technology gives your LED signs a more uniform and brighter appearance.
Extraordinary colors
The LED option Lights offers you a range of beautiful colors. This makes them not only perfect for your business, but find their application in decorative lighting, for holiday and show lighting, party and wedding lighting. With LEDs, there is no need to use foil or paint.
LED signs are environmentally friendly
On average, an LED sign uses only 20% less energy compared to other bright signs. This means stricter energy standards and less strain on the environment. More importantly, your mitigation costs are significantly reduced. Fluorescent lamps contain toxic gases such as mercury and argon. This means it's nearly impossible to cleanly recycle these lights - a problem you don't have with LED signs.
Finally, LED signs do not emit as much heat as any other lighting system. This means that if you have your LED signs in the building, your rooms don't have to warm up, which also makes their air conditioning bills easier.
