LED lit sign requirements

Initially your new house sign should be aesthetically pleasing, but with electrics involved you need to be aware of the safety features of an LED sign.

IP ratings: your outdoor LED lit sign should be IP65 or higher. This ensures that the device is protected if it rains. The unit should be well sealed, ideally in a casing. All of our LED products are sealed and safe.

Power: We offer a choice of an indoor (or weatherproof socket) version complete with a very neat driver and 5M of cable (the cable length can be extended if necessary) or, where appropriate a mains version to install into existing fittings. As experts in LED products we understand and have sourced the very best power adaptors and LED drivers to suit individual products.

The LED lights: Most people are aware that LED lights can last for over 10 years with continual 24hr use and they are very inexpensive to run. However, not all LED lights are the same, and it takes an expert to be able to source and work with lights that are very bright but maintain the low wattage required to keep them economical. The Plastic Republic team have that expertise required and have chosen lights that will deliver on all aspects and keep their longevity.

Some Intersting Facts About LED Lights

LED stands for Light-Emmitting Diode, a type of solid state lighting that uses a semiconductor to convert electricity into light..

They are extremely efficient and can cut energy usage by up to 80 per cent

LED bulbs don’t suddenly turn off like other light bulbs; they gradually fade over time…. a very long time as they can last over 10 years even when used 24 hours.

LED’s were invented in 1962 but have only become very popular over the last 10 years or so, when there have been brighter, more energy efficient options, a wider choice of colour and they have become cheaper

They have also become a lot smaller, meaning their use in signage is much more widespread

Light from LED’s is instant – unlike low energy incandescent lamps, which can take long time to reach full brightness

LED lights don’t give off much heat, which makes them ideal for environments like aquariums where the temperature has to be regulated, and also enclosed spaces such as LED lit signage

They are great for fridges because as well as not giving off any heat, they also have anti-bacterial properties

Moths don’t like them

LED bulbs don’t contain any mercury, so are safer than incandescent lights. They are also 95% recyclable

LED headlights render colours you see in the beam much better, so are safer than standard bulbs

LED light is directional – no wasted light where you don’t want it

And finally… they don’t break!
