THE KING IS BACK!

post-3-0-69809200-1406429066_thumb.jpg

Just two month ago we brought back the Axiom AXLE9 LED module into Project Tighty Whitey powered at 12 volts just like all others and the result is .5 watts per module. This month we added the same module but boosted the secondary to 14.7 volts where the Axiom LED AXLE9 runs at optimum. Just like in the original Great White Hope we all got the see the great results all the way to 36,000 hours and it kep right up there with GE's Power Tera Max going toe to toe. It was fair to say that both the Axiom and Power Tetra Max both outlasted the competition in that high powered (1 watt+) module class when it came to LEDs, and Elite Neon's Elite 65 for Cold Cathode Lamps or Neon.

Well what a great module the Axiom AXLE9 is, you can use it as a standard 12 volt 1/2 watt module and it's still one of the brightest .5 watt module and =/+ brighter than any module that's .85 watts and lower in the Mid Sized Class systems that are in Project TIghty Whitey...or all you have to do is drive up the secondary to 14.7 volts and use at a high powered 1.6 watt module. By driving up the voltage from 12 volts to 14.7 you are not over driving it at the least as we've all witnessed and seen in The Great White Hope, maybe that's because it's one of the best chips on the market....Nichia of Japan, or maybe it's just the way it's designed!

I took an early shot and I'm probably more impressed this round in the Great White Hope II than I was back in 2008 when we threw it in 36,000 hours ago. This newer version is brighter and as you can see it's pretty on par with the 60ma Neon lamp. Which one is it, it's the one at the very top of the stack....right above the 13mm 60 ma EGL DL61 Lamp.

Like it always goes to the Sign Syndicate light tests, all we can do it throw everything up against the wall and we'll see what stick and what falls.

I'll update July's evaluation sheet soon to reflect the addition.

      Skyhook 100hd cable sizes

      By Elite Sign & Lighting · Posted

      It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.

      Digital Signage is Revolutionizing Hospital Communication: 6 Big Advantages

      By wipathcommunications · Posted

      Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
