Light Box Signs

Light box signs are typically made of durable aluminum boxes with translucent acrylic or Lexan sign face. They are illuminated from the inside to give them a hard-to-miss, yet elegant appearance. You may have seen them as bright sign cabinets outside restaurants, airports, hospitals and office buildings in Huntsville or Athens. Night or day, these uniquely visible types of signs get noticed and drive customer traffic to brick and mortar businesses.

Advantages of Using Custom Light Boxes and Cabinets

There are several reasons companies invest in outdoor or indoor light box signs instead of just flat or raised letters signage. Visibility and versatility are why backlit signs are an excellent visual communications method. Custom light box signs can be produced in a variety of sizes and a magnitude of colors allowing your message to be visible during the day and magnified at night.

Common Uses of Light Box Sign for Business

Custom lightbox signs are often square, rectangular, or rounded, but they can also be customized according to your business need. They are most commonly used to display your company logo or name using your brand’s colors to compliment your overall visual strategy. They are often seen indoors as lobby signs, cinema poster boxes or menu light boxes in fast food chains. Outdoors, they come as bright and towering pylon signs, post and panel cabinet signs, storefront signage or hanging building signs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, lightboxes are rectangular or boxy signs with lights inside to prominently display your brand and logo. Lightboxes can also be customized in the shape of a logo to fit your branding style. Three sides are usually aluminum, with an acrylic panel in front as part of the display.

The acronym LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Electric luminescence generates cold light in tiny, energy-efficient bulbs emitting light from silicon-coated semiconductors. These bulbs are much greener alternatives to traditional light bulbs using hot metal filaments. Businesses using LED lights have lower energy bills. What’s not to love about LEDs?

One common cause of non-working LED lighting is insufficient heat sinking. That means that when the heat that’s generated from the LEDs fails to efficiently spread and disperse itself, bulbs go out and you wind up with a half-lit LED strip. It can indeed be an annoyance. Be sure to contact your sign provider, Blue Orbit Sign Studio, if you are experiencing any issues with your LED signs.

Here’s the great part. Outdoor signs running 24/7, 365 days of the year can last an incredible 100,000 hours. That’s about a decade and change. Properly maintained LEDs that are not constantly on have been known to last for over 15 years.

As with any business expense, costs vary according to factors like the lightbox’s size and shape. The larger, more elaborate signs made from expensive materials will of course cost more. Lightboxes that have simple geometric designs (circles or squares) can be affordable, whereas fancy logo-shaped signs are priced accordingly.

At its most basic, digital signage is electronically generated visual data for companies. LED light messages can be changed with a few keystrokes to reflect changing conditions, as is quite common on highway road signs. Graphics, too, can be created to draw attention to something you want customers to notice.

As neon is a naturally occurring inert gas, there will always be differences between neon and LEDs. But there are some similarities as well. A skilled sign-maker can incorporate ingredients that will make your LED sign nearly indistinguishable from most neon signs, without the dangers inherent when using actual neon.

Yes! That is a major upside to installing LED signs in your business. Even those colorful LED signs designed to mimic neon in glass tubes are types of colored tubing encased in acrylic.

With all other things being equal, you can expect to pay about 10% less for LED signage than for neon. And while that might not seem incredibly significant, that is just the start of your savings. Over time, you can save as much as 70% on your total energy costs.

Everyone has their preferences and various companies have diverse needs. For instance, a small coffee shop won’t need a huge sign as a shopping mall would. But the consensus among industry professionals is that monochrome LEDs in amber or a soft yellow are highly effective at spreading your message.
