  France magnetic 277v ballasts

  By richard2717 April 2

  Roughly 25 new old stock France 277v magnetic ballasts. I got these in a shop buyout and have no use for them. I suspect no one does at this point but I figured I would offer them up. Make me an offer if interested, They are heavy so shipping would be expensive but will do so on your dime.

  While you're in shutdown

  By Erik Sine March 31

  Depending on your state and city you're in, you might be completely shut down and like myself.....you're bored with very little to do with almost a helpless feeling.   Well, you don't need to feel helpless, here is something you can do while in hibernation and keep the gears or productivity going.    Pick up a book and learn, your employees can advance themselves.  There is a special going on right now.   As I've said in other threads these books are more technical

  Looking for opinions

  By zsigns March 28

  Got a job designed by an architect. The specs are halo lit channel letters.Black face and returns installed to a white eifs background. My concern is that it will be hard to read,black letters that make a black shadow, especially at a slight angle. Also concerned that the eifs will absorb the light and not make decent halo. I'm thinking of proposing white or brushed letters mounted to a dark colored panel. What do you think?

  COVID-19 / Coronavirus - has it affected you

  By carlmcmas March 15

  We’re in uncharted territory with this one I’m afraid. What are all of you guys doing about this?  Our governor (Alabama) has issued a state of emergency, schools are closing for 2 weeks (toss spring break in and it’s 3) Everyone has been asked to “social distance” themselves.    I’m not a doctor but I do feel this is more serious than a cold and could end up really bad if we don’t take some precautions.  In what I’ve read and deciphered for myself, cleaning, hand washing and social di

• The Sign Syndicate BrightON II LED Module

  ---

  Maybe I should have titled it "That BrightON Halo Illumination"

  Thought I would share a project where our new High-End 24 volt, .8watt BrightON II LED Modules were used.

  As I've discussed before in the past.  There is a difference and a gap between "Usable Light" and "Competitive Light".  The BrightON II is the most efficient (Light per power) LED Module in it's class, and it is the definition of Competitive Light.

  As explained here and suggested for spacing, it was chosen to use the 3" module spacer, and obviously  you'll see as you scroll down the spacing could have even been much farther apart.

  "......Anyway, Fairmont contacted me just prior to the time I realized Regency was going to give me the runaround. So at the time, I didn't think to check for feedback here (lesson learned obviously). They asked me to remove a Goodyear sign. Did that, then the Regency crap started, then I saw their feedback. That's about when they asked me to remove signs at a Kwik Car location. I told them I would do it but if they don't pay...."

  Double Sided Cabinet Light Spacing For LEDs

  Most Light Source Suppliers and Manufacturers won't show you examples let alone "numbers" of light readings on Sign Cabinet or Sign Projects from light source components they push like these I'm posting here, but....This is The Sign Syndicate!

  "Seeing is believing" as they say.

  So, one of the components I've been big on because of feedback and demand is a strong enough LED module that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, isn't proprietary where you need to buy their special clips, brackets, etc, and actually put out enough light without exaggerated "Usable Light" under too far spread spacing that's supposed to save you money that won't compete with other existing signs in the area of your project. 

  Biggest complaint from sign shops about cabinet LEDs....."I don't want to use a whole bunch of power supplies!"
