A Brighter Future...Using Less Energy™

Signs Manufacturing incorporates a patent pending high-tech design into our unique new-look concept.

PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting systems feature Solarbrite™ LED’s that are optically enhanced to appear larger.

Cabinet signs with color graphics and PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting is a hands-down winner.

No other face-decorated cabinet sign incorporates direct lighting.  And when compared to incandescent lighting or fluorescent back-lighted cabinet signs it is better-looking, cheaper, lasts longer, and uses less energy.

The US Small Business Administration (SBA) says that an electronic message center will increase a store's volume 15 to 150%.

The attribute that makes LED Electronic Message Centers so effective is that they use light to attract attention during the day.

"That's beautiful!"  - Emily Wright, Chit Chat Restaurant, after seeing her new sign in our warehouse before installation.

This is the only other sign face that can do so.

With LED first-surface lighting, again like electronic message centers, you determine the daytime brightness of your sign by the density, colors, and patterns of lighting you choose.  PinLights™ gives you choices, unlike all other forms of lighting.

PinLights™ can also comply with many cities bans on flashing lights, which causes electronic message centers to be banned or severely restricted, or they can flash or twinkle (in multiple or varying colors.) 

But at a minimum the decorated sign face is comparable to a traditional back-lighted sign face when not lighted.

In other words, a PinLights™ sign will always look better, and attract more attention, than any cabinet sign ever built previously; and...it can cost about the same to purchase, but use less energy.

Many companies manufacture LED’s.  There are over 5,000 varied LED’s available, and they vary greatly as to brightness, lux, light-dispersal (viewing) angle, useful lifetime, and lifetime.

Some are very cheap, some are quite expensive.

Signs Manufacturing only uses Solarbrite™ LED’s that are rated to retain 80% of their brightness for 60,000+ hours.  These are the most expensive, but highest value, LED’s.  Our selection of LED’s is what makes our signs brighter, and last longer.

As an example, a White Solarbrite™ LED is 280 lux, compared to our BrighterSigns™ neon's 235 lux, or standard neon's 140 lux.

A Solarbrite™ LED incorporates a new kind of chip, different from all other LED's.  Signs Manufacturing is an industry leader in the implementation of new technology in advertising.

Solarbrite™ LED’s utilize military specification coatings on the circuit boards the LED’s are attached to, preventing corrosion and electrical problems.

Like neon, LED’s are also affected by voltage.  For instance, an LED will also burn nearly 100% brighter if you double the power feeding it.  The LED will last about 1/6 as long, however, making this alternative quite expensive in total cost.

We power our Solarbrite™ LED’s properly, and offer a 5 year warranty on the LED’s in our lighted signs.

Solarbrite™ PinLights™ LED’s are available in 5 fixed colors (Red, Green, Blue, White and Yellow) or as multi-color infinitely-variable individual lights featuring 65,000,000 colors.

Unlike virtually every other LED sign currently manufactured, each individual PinLights™ LED is independently serviceable.

And if a single LED does fail all of the other LEDs still light.  Our wiring is in parallel, not in series.

In most instances PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting systems can be retrofitted to existing internally lighted cabinet signs, pole and pylon signs, and monument signs.
