Anyone know of a source for dual head lamps for small blade signs?
Can't seem to find many. I'm sure I could make a custom lamps, but I'd rather not at this point.
Here's one below, but it's just not that fancy enough and for the high $300 cost..... it look like a home depot slap together. Looking for something a lil "fancier"

As Usual, we don't spend that much time at the actual "show".
We got in Wednesday about Noon'ish. Dropped in the show to see a few people then ran out of there.
Spending some quality time together was more needed than seen the "same ol" It was also the start of the NFL Draft and it was hard to pull Kirstie away from Sports bar TV's showing who was going where.
We had dinner with some good friends and it's always a good mixed balance of family and work.
Thursday was our "business" day and we squeezed just about everything we could the first two days.
Then more playing of course
Friday was our "Alone Time", phone off with only Pool Time, more NFL Draft, and more playing
The ISA Show was very "Up Beat" and they did a very good job of keeping it "High Energy" up until the time you walk through the main show entry. Nothing new to see if you're a sign veteran, the floor seemed a little smaller and traffic seemed smaller compared to years past but that's not the point for NOT coming to the show.
Everyone should make an effort and a point to come to the show, being in the electric sign industry you NEED to be there, PLUS.....it's a perfect venue to meet members of the Sign Syndicate that you have regular discussions with talk about the things you can't on the board. We had the pleasure to meet up with some new faces, and of course old faces.
We haven't been to an ISA show in 2 years, and there was something I was reminded of. It's been two years and within that gap I tend to get too comfortable in that span, get lazy in what I do here on The Sign Syndicate. In my conversations it was good to hear about "Why" they visit, participate and find The SS is a important tool. This show served as a reminder, it served as a kick in the ass as NOT to let my/our foot off the gas. I think hearing that did Kirstie & I some good. Hearing it all only motivated me, I think that year off didn't do me any favors, when I don't skip a year the wheels keep turning, but sadly last year or the wheels stopped and went.
One conversation was brought up about the National Sign Company Meet and Greet. For those that attended then you'll know it wasn't a good venue to show up to expect a good conversation with more than one National. There were a lot of lines and it was pretty much "Speed Dating".
My advice, save yourself a trip next year and just simply visit our National Sign & Service Review List and just jot down all the Names and submit them a vendor package. That way you don't have to wait in line and you can reach everyone and more than are actually there and you WON'T have to waste your time meeting up with a "no-payer". No National is going to remember you or what you said to them trying to sell yourself.
So I guess there is one more Orlando show left, then it's off to Georgia, ugh.....why can't Georgia just start next year?

I've run into this before but it's been years.
Never directly with the city but under circumstances where I'm in front of a neighborhood review design committee, you know.....where you're seeking an approval before you go to the city and you sit in front of a bunch of @s$hole long-haired hippies who have an opinion about everything other than your project and they just like to hear themselves talk.
The pride swallowing situations we find ourselves just for an approval

Coming Soon
9 Watt Beast
175 degree
Constant Current
24 Volts
5 Year Warranty
All I can say right now is WOW!!
As most of the regulars that visit The Sign Syndicate know....we don't sell much on the the site here, we only bring "High-End" Electric Sign Components on board because it's our belief that ALL Custom Electric Sign Shops should be warrantying their products for 5 years from any kind of outages or failure. Otherwise if you don't have the confidence to do so, maybe you're using inferior components. This is not to say special circumstances depending on climate or conditions make that impossible. But in most cases, this industry needs to step up and guarantee the Consumer.
So here is another to cater to our High-End Clientele
Not many Sign Cabinet LED Products that are both 24v along are also Constant Current Driven, NOT Constant Current like most LEDs that are in this industry.
Check out the size of this sucker!!!
The Smaller Sister Product at 3 Watts, 24v and of course Constant Current NOT Constant Voltage
The Size of this thing!!!
As with most quality prisms (not use of frosted lens for a cheap wide angle) the more of an angle you look at the lens the bright it gets
Alright the Numbers
659-651 Foot Candle Sign Face surface light measurement. That is FReAKISH!!!
In our Great White Hope test comparison a 7.5" x 4' Width channel, double stroke EGL DL65 15mm Neon Lamp measured out to 393.5 Foot Candles on the surface. In this one foot channel we know for sure these modules will and can be stretched out much further than 1' apart, and you'll be able to get some much wider rows with TRUE competitive light NOT "Usable Light". We'll have to throw in and test some T12's and T8's to get a taste
A Single 13mm Tri-Phosphor Neon lamp which already is bright as hell initially came in at 355 Foot Candles in our Great White Hope II Test. This smaller sister is coming in at 343 FC at what will look to be 3 watts per foot
So far we're VERY excited for what's to come!!!
Stay Tune!!!!

Quick reminder that the days of the ISA Sign Expo have shifted for 2019. This year, the exhibit hall is open from Wednesday, April 24-Friday, April 26 (with education sessions starting on Tuesday, April 23). In recent years, the exhibit hall was open Thursday-Saturday (with education sessions starting on Wednesday).
Kenny, how come no Saturday this time? Just the scheduling unavailability or just busier during the week?

Hi Lee,
That is odd. I've had Hartford for about 18+ years and still have them. But they have me down under signs & graphics, which is everything from exterior, interior, etc. Do you do just vehicle graphics or others as well?

Sorry, that is what I was referring to! It's always fun to put a face, or faces, alongside the infamous deadbeats! Course it's also fun to see their face when you ask them why they don't pay their bills! Oops, my personality is showing. Sorry. For those that go, have fun!
Subbing.....not my line of work but, maybe for shits and giggles I'll go and take selfies with all the non payers all while having a ear to ear smile & shit eating grin on my face with them and post at a later time.
I remember for that one year I volunteered at the USSC show and they had their version of a National Sign Co Meet & Greet and when I walked through to say "hi"..... I was muttering to myself knowing our review list "...they pay, they don't, they don't, they don't....THEY especially don't....he has people looking for him"
-
I think he's jokingly referring to the National Sign Co meet and greet
If only ISA checked out the credit history of those National Sign & Service companies that they have attend their function, and of course stop handing out long time achievement awards to them, especially since they continue to poorly pay their subcontractors on various projects around the country.
If only...

That is very heart wrenching Paul. I don't even have the words for what their son had to see and go through with his parents.

Anyone going to ISA this year? It crept up so fast...well this whole last year has gone by so fast. I think this was the earliest we ever booked our room and flight, which was last October, lol

You don't need to go to sign shops for CNC work, in fact their more expensive. I'll sub project out to metal and acrylic fabricators, they usually charge by the hour and most of the time they have not only Rotary CNC's but also Plasma, and Water Jet.
A shopbot CNC is a great entry level router, perfect for acrylic and HDU and light alum.
-
What mfg's have you been looking at? Most decent CNC's will do that no problem. Big thing is software and learning how use it. Hold down Vac can make things easier to have (240v), Dust collector is a must (240v), Collumbo spindle is best (240v), air filter hanging above is also nice to have for the fine particles.
The key, buy more than what you really think you'll need. Most regret not buying a larger size router table than they thought they would use.

We have the TC50 Porcelain housings in stock, but their sold in boxes of 50. In size they're between a 200 housing and 1019 housing
-
They are no longer produced, if you find some that someone has you're lucky! It's a shame, I really like these housings but apparently they were only rated for 5,000v so it made them limited
-
It's terrible, all those punches are so hard to find these days. Looking for a 7/8" & 1-1/4" if anyone has one.
-
Just one or two days left. Once I move this stock, sales OVER!
-
Stock Updated, 2 Weeks left of this sale
-
I would have no problem with personal projects, but I wouldn't allow projects for profit, you're fitting all the overhead and more.

Oh Boy, now Principal LED is trying to compete with the outrageous marketing claim of 10 years with all of their products. What...now Labor costs in that 10 years??? Where's the confidence???
Is there confidence or only a marketing ploy?
QuotePrincipal LED reserves the right to use similar, new, repaired, or remanufactured product or parts as part of the Limited Product Warranty process. This shall be the customer’s sole remedy with respect to any Principal LED products. The aggregate remedy for any claim shall not exceed the total amount of the purchase price for the defective product. The cost of labor or administration is not included under this Limited Product Warranty.
So how is this all going to match up 9 years later?
QuoteA product shall not be considered defective solely as a result of the failure of individual LED components contained in the product to emit light if the number of inoperable components is less than fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of LED components in the product.
This Limited Product Warranty is voided by the use of non-approved third-party controls, power supplies or any other manufacturer’s components, or if the product is used outside of its intended applications or for the stated purpose or conditions for which it is designed, as stated in Principal LED’s installation instructions.
Am I reading this right? if less than 15% of the diodes in a letter or cabinet fail or dim , it's not covered?
Do their power supplies also cover a warranty for 10 years? If not, why not? Why not wrap this into one coverage?
What about Lumen maintenance? If the Light Output dims above 15% of the original light output in under 10 years will it be covered? If so, their in trouble! I doubt they'll warranty that.

Won't get to me unless they export me from this world. Until then I'll just keep pulling the arrows out and sticking myself with a hot poker, lol

My Apologies everyone, the site was down for a few days as we were repairing both a data base error and crashed tables. In the next few days some functions will be down as we start the slow process of upgrading each feature.
Please reply here to this topic if you see anything non-functional
Thanks
