FAQs
What is a retrofit for signs
A retrofit replaces the old lighting inside your existing sign with new LED technology. The sign’s structure stays in place, but the light source is upgraded.
How much money can I save with an LED retrofit
LEDs use up to 80 percent less energy than fluorescent or neon lighting. Most businesses see a noticeable drop in their monthly electricity bills after retrofitting.
How long do LEDs last compared to fluorescent or neon
LED lighting lasts around 50,000 hours or more, compared to 10,000 to 15,000 hours for fluorescent bulbs. This means years of bright performance with minimal maintenance.
Will a retrofit change the look of my sign
Yes, but in a positive way. LEDs provide brighter and more even illumination, making your sign look newer and more professional without replacing the structure.
Can any sign be retrofitted
Most illuminated signs can be retrofitted, including channel letters, sign cabinets, and monument signs. During the consultation we confirm if your sign is a good candidate.
Do I need permits for a retrofit
In most cases retrofits do not require new permits since the structure is not changing. However, some towns may require electrical inspection. Our team guides you through the process if needed.
How much does an LED retrofit cost
Costs vary depending on the size and type of the sign. Retrofits are generally more affordable than building a new sign since only the lighting system is replaced. We provide detailed quotes after inspecting your sign.
Can you retrofit neon channel letters
Yes. Neon channel letters can be retrofitted with LEDs to achieve the same glow effect with lower energy use and easier maintenance.
How long does the retrofit process take
Most retrofits are completed in one to two days depending on the size of the sign and condition of the existing system.
