Signs Wear Down In Arizona

Arizona is hard on outdoor signs. Heat, UV exposure, dust, wind, monsoon storms, and long daily sun exposure can all take a toll.

A sign may start to fade. Acrylic faces can look tired. Older lighting can become uneven. Neon may flicker or fail. Electrical components may need attention. Metal can weather. Vinyl can peel. Even a good sign needs maintenance over time.

If the sign is still structurally sound, repair may be a better choice than replacement.

Why LED Conversions Are Popular

LED lighting is commonly used in channel letters, sign cabinets, monument signs, and other commercial signs. If a sign looks dim, uneven, or unreliable, an LED conversion may be worth considering.

This can be especially useful for businesses that depend on evening visibility, such as restaurants, retail stores, convenience stores, service businesses, entertainment venues, and urgent care locations.

Neon Sign Repair

Neon has a look that many businesses still love. Bars, restaurants, retail shops, and specialty businesses often use neon because it has character.

When neon starts flickering, going dark, or looking uneven, repair may be possible. Davis Signs & Graphics offers custom neon sign design, fabrication, installation, and repair for Phoenix businesses.

A repaired neon sign can keep the original look while improving reliability.

Davis Signs & Graphics also works with parking lot lighting, helping businesses improve the exterior appearance and function of the property.

We bet if you still use neon lighting for your business you have noticed an increase in the cost of electric bills, tubes that flicker and maybe a humming noise. That noise is telling you it is time for an upgrade! In fact changing to LED lighting is a very smart move, lowering your operating costs and improving your business image at the same time. Let’s look at why LED conversion has become the go-to move for companies across the Phoenix Valley and beyond. Read on to learn more!

Large Energy Savings!

LED lighting uses up to 70–80% less energy than traditional fluorescent or neon tubes. That means you’ll see an immediate drop in your monthly power bills. Often businesses find the conversion costs pay in less than a couple of years. Remember an LED converts electricity directly into light as opposed to heat. Meaning nearly all the energy you use is cheaper, more environmentally friendly and more efficient. It is a winning formula!

Less Maintenance

It is not quick or cheap to have to change a fluorescent ballast or replace a neon transformer. But an LED can run for excess of 50,000 hours on a 24/7 basis. No more scheduling replacement, frequent service calls, moving ladders and other items. Also less downtime for the sign helping to highlight your brand in the public eye day and night, rain or shine!

Brighter and Cleaner Light

One of the most noticeable benefits of LED conversion is the clarity and brightness of the light. We all know old tubes turn a yellowish tinge or create ho spots making your sign look old and tired. But LED’s supply illumination across every aspect of your sign, giving a modern and fresh appearance. In short, LED signs make sure you stand out from the competition in a great way!

Eco-Friendly

Switching to LED lighting dramatically reduces your environmental footprint. There are no mercury-filled tubes to dispose of, no high-voltage transformers, and far less heat output. Less power demand means less carbon is produced. An upgrade that feels good and looks great! It is a simple way to show customers that your business takes sustainability seriously.

Existing Signs

You don’t have to replace your entire sign to go LED. Most existing sign cabinets and channel letter sets can be retro-fitted with LED modules. A professional sign company just like Davis Signs (!) will look at your current set-up and take out the old tubes and writing with LED components and then seal everything up so it looks great. All the costs of a new sign without a total rebuild.

Better Performance in the Arizona Heat

In the Arizona heat ,traditional neon systems do not handle heat well. They become dim and struggle to get going in cooler temperatures. LED work great in any temperature and in Phoenix this is of great import. Your sign will stay bright all summer long and throughout our cooler seasons without lacking in performance.

More Curb Appeal

Never forget a business sign is the first impression your business makes with a customer. When it looks great it gives your business an air of reliability and the fact you take care of not only the appearance of your business but also that your business has high standards. You will get more drive-by attention, be seen more clearly and the LED look will give your business a great polish in the community.
