What does every one think? It stinks we didn't get the opportunity to install neon, but the sloan LEDS do look great. Thousands come out to support the lighting of an iconic piece of the city of Auburn history. Not to mention the restoration of a sign style that is disappearing.

Check out the link.

very nice! did you remove just the cans bring back repaint them and install the tubing? any pics of during install/removal?

Thank You. No we were not able to remove the letters because of political reasons. We had to do all the work in the air. We removed a whole pickup of electrical stuff from the old neon. We sanded the 60 year old metal letters with 80 grit vibe sanders. We primed all bear metal and painted with three coats of enamel paint. We also did the same for the steel frame. We used a 125ft lift to reach the sign. The worst part is it rained almost every day for the three weeks we worked. I will send pictures this week.

Only thing that I didn't care or that the newscaster said was the LEDs were "Environmentally Friendly", that's false. Red Neon glass is 100% recyclable, contains nothing but gas and glass and doesn't degrade in light over time like the LEDs will.

Other than that, nice job, nice publicity, nice story. I bet it was real easy retrofitting those letters on the job in the field!

I agree but when she said "Environmentally Friendly", I think she is referring to the power consumption savings. This was the first time we used Sloan Flex tube and it was tedious to get the flex where it needed to be.

      ISA show in Orlando

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      Oh yeah, much smaller than Vegas, and larger than the Atlantic Show.  I usually go annually, but last Vegas show was smaller than usual and saw all in one day.
