Overview
At Iconic Signs and Graphics, we specialize in retrofitting existing signage with modern LED lighting. If your sign uses fluorescent or neon tubes, upgrading to LED technology will save money, improve brightness, and extend the life of your sign. Retrofits are a cost-effective way to refresh your signage without replacing the entire structure. Whether you have a channel letter sign, a cabinet, or another illuminated display, our team can retrofit it with long-lasting LEDs that shine brighter and consume less energy.
