LED Lighting for Cabinet's


Erik Sine

Recommended Posts

Are a lot of you using LED's for Cabinet Lighting, new and retrofits?  I'm curious about your input on the brightness appearance. 

 

Is it as good as Fluorescent lamps (T8's and T12's)?

 

What products have you been using for this?

 

 

Thanks

Erik

I've used them, but only on single faced sign applications. I've been looking for an economical double sided sign product. Does anyone have some good recommendations?

 

I priced out a retrofit for a very large D/F cabinet measuring 10' x 24' that had extreme access issues.....power lines were re-located closer to the sign....still ~ 12' away, but access into the sign required removing the entire sides of the cabinet which was one long 10' piece pulling in the direction of the power lines which was a no go for us. It was also on a corner of the lot where the power lines turned directions, so sleeving wasn't an option.

 

Bottom of the sign was also inaccessible due to the cabinet being set on a pair of large match plates.....so you could not lower the bottom retainers to gain access to the clips. The only access was removing all the top clips and one side.....fold over diagonal in order to get inside. With as much work as was required to access I wanted to recommend an LED bulb replacement, something that wouldn't arc out and then locate the power supplies on the far side away from the power lines that had easy and safe access.

 

I priced out I believe it was Sloan RapidStick....but they only went up to 8' and ran roughly 125.00 for each 8' section......24 lamps required was more than the customer wanted to spend on repairs, so some up lighting with HIDs was proposed as another option.
