It's been a minute since I've been active on the Sign Syndicate I must admit. Real Life activities along with how busy I have been with developing our Brighton LED Line have taken me away from keeping this site active. I wasn't expecting the Brighton LED line to really take off as it has. It's required a lot of attention and I'm purposely trying to keep product circle on who sells it small. Quality is where my focus lays and not Quantity. I have no desire to be the next Principal LED where I get to a point where I'm just selling off a name and let the product quality drop. Since the Principal LED gobble up of the Sloan, Hanley the whole quality in the market place has turned to absolute Dog Shit.....and that is what Shops have been buying...Dog Shit...and they don't even know it Over the last few years it's been a race to the bottom. Wensco, Spandex, Montroy is raging over Principal LED dropping them as a supplier so their rage is focused on their United LED by G2G to complete against Principal / Sloan. Then we have Everylite Raging over G2G which is nothing more than old G2G Employee/Partners splitting off to do their own thing as Everylite bitter at their previous place of buisiness or employment. So Battle Lines are all over the market place and they're all competing for one thing...who can sell the Cheapest Module. We've discussed a lot of this in ad nauseam Chip quality in LED Modules has gone down and price has gone up with the big monopoly along with having fewer choices at the Sign Supplier...All a mixed bag in conjunction in who can sell quantity over quality. This will all get very interesting, real fast So.....I have a need fever, and the only prescription is...... more Benchmark Testing. The Great White Hope IV Just like the predecessors of the GWH III to the original we started back in 2009 we will test the Original Light output of various Vendor LEDs with similar spacing, monitor the Lumen Maintenance (Light Degradation over time) in measuring the Luminance in Foot Candles...or the light output on a sign face....as that is all we care about in the Electric Sign Industry Project Great White Hope We will also display one of the most important qualities when it comes to LED Chip quality that must be given attention too, that many either not know of, or really is never talked about because it cuts through all the Marketing Bullshit and that is the Foot Candles per Watt....this is the Chip Efficiency of an LED and this number will reflect how much light output you are getting for power put it. The higher the FC/W, the better quality chip that LED has in it. You can't get High Light Output from poor quality chips, only high quality chip have a higher efficiency to give you more light for lesser power. For obvious reasons I will not be benchmarking every product out there on the market, just the most visible in the Market Place. Project Tight Whitey For example I will not be testing Principal LED's Synergy Mini or any in the family. A .46w LED module with poor lumen per watt is not worth investing our time to test especially at nearly $400 per bag in cost. To me it's a joke of a product, something with such low output that will last you a long time because it operates/drives too low but you will literally need two to two and a half of these modules that one single LED module will do. So having four .46w modules next to four Qwik Mod II modules would look ridiculous next to one another in a benchmark comparison. Also, a lot of Modules are being phased out.... Our current line up will be the following United LEDs (G2G).8w for Channel Letters United LEDs (G2G) 1.2w for Large Channel Letters & Cabinets Principal Hanley's The One 1w LED Principal Qwik Mod II .8w Principal Qwik Mod II .8w Red Principal Sloans Prism .96w LED G2G Wow .8w Module Everylite Rebel 1w Module Everylite 2D .72w Module BrightON II .8w LED Module BrightON II .8w LED Module Ruby Red BrightON III 1.2w LED Module BrightON IV 1.6w LED Module BrightON SunFire 2.4w LED Module BrightON Lightning .68w LED Module BrightON Lightning .72w LED Module Ruby Red A few more surprise Vendor Modules as we go along. There is no better way to show the Electric Sign Industry and where we sit with the components we use in the signs we produce than creating a benchmark comparison I should have this up and running in the next day or two, I will create a new topic and post here publicly for all to see and monitor over the next few years. Like the previous Benchmarks, all LED Modules will be equally spaced for 2LED Modules, 3LED Modules, and 4LED Module. All LED Modules will be in 5" Depth Channels that are 24" x 4.25". Sign Faces will be 1/8" 7328 White by Plexiglas grade C and all will operate by a shared France Lighting Solutions TruPower LED PSU. The only fault this benchmark comparison will have is that the budget Constant Voltage LEDs like the Qwik Mod II will be handy capped in Light Output because there will not be any remote slight voltage drop coming from a TruPower LED PSU that will affect the light output drop that would occur in real life setting should a LED PSU be loaded at 80 - 85%. Constant Current LED Modules light output is not affected by slight voltage drops and remain consistent in lighting. So, if we have one fault it lays here, but just know...all Constant Voltage LED modules would normally be a little dimmer in light for two reasons, TruPower LED Power Supply and for the fact that our PSU's will not be reaching anywhere near loadable capacity, and if we were to add modules down the road after initial start, it would affect these CC LED Modules Light Output in robbing voltage. Great White Hope Monthly Benchmark Evaluation The Reason I'm rebooting this much needed Benchmark Comparison for the Electric Sign Industry is for a couple of reasons. Our Trade Needs this because too many Custom Sign Shops only knowledge base it dependent on what Sign Suppliers tell them...which is way too reliant on a poor source based on the importance on sales and who they sell now and not yesterday. I also notice with Social Media which is another poor source of reliable knowledge, has been very incorrect and very biased based on who they sell and who their relationships are built around. This simple Benchmark will shed light where there has a lot of poor light on the subject matter This time with our own developed LED line will be in the mix, and of course it will be seeing as biased....in a sense it will come off that way.... But I always have encouraged custom sign shops to develop their own comparisons and really, REALLY see for themselves....as Seeing is BELIEVING More to come......
