  1. Anyone doing these? How's it going?
  2. We are finishing up projects, fabricating where we can and installing when we can. For the most part it's a skeleton crew, most are working from home. All jobs that were up and coming have been placed on hold. Stay safe and healthy everyone, things will normalize.
  3. What a great post Alan! Have to admit we don't chime in much but read the discussions here like it's our sign bible. Erik truly does have a big huge Neon target on his back. Where else would we get the facts and opinions on everything from sign magazines, associations and all other sign politics? Just read the recent post on UL. All other avenues drive on a narrow road and don't want to lose out by driving anywhere else but in middle of the road. Erik pretty much says what we are all thinking. Or put better, what needs to be said. We have told him at times when he stops in but not all times. He and the Sign Syndicate do have their big fans from the large Nationals that ask for the world, need it tomorrow but suck at paying. We mention that we check company reviews here and maybe like a lot of others we get that long pause on the other line. We get the excuse of info is from non credible sources to misinformation on those reviews. Friends we talk to love this site and we have always encouraged others to visit. Sales reps come in with their pitches and hard sales especially with leds ( gawd I don't know what it is about led reps) and see we use NC, and the new Brighton leds because of what we have learned here they almost choke or pause. From the testing here on the Sign Syndicate we too built simulated signs and cabinets and just let them run and throw in strings reps wander in here with and the comments they make when they fall short in areas. When they're beat in light spread, brightness of the sign face and price some get venomous and shady. Dang, led reps are undoubtedly something else Cheers Eric, keep up the good fight!
  4. This is so awesome and glad to see you're getting closer to getting this out. So these look different than those sample we have, are they different?
  5. We've been meaning to give our two-cents for sometime and just now getting to it, better late than never right? Haha We love your Union power supplies since you've been stocking these using them in most all of our projects and service jobs and stock your 60's,120's and 180's in all of our service trucks. It's been a couple of years now and not a single failure, so we're happy! Here's a picture that one of our service techs sent to me today. She said she replaced this power supply from "CHINA" (haha just for you Eric) that was put to max load with extra long leads. She replaces this 60 with a 120 and split up the channel letter sign. We give it these LED power supplies 5 Stars!
  6. That looks so cool! A lot of fun, and not to mention very very cold!
  7. Love it! Send me some samples when you get them in.
  8. Too bad they didn't have the huevos to follow through sign guy, that would have been something to see for once. Nice write up and very informative with some calculations that are easy to follow. We don't support sign associations for our own reasons but this could have been one we would have even so far away. It fizzed and couldn't make it past the finished line it seems lol. They could have learned from you. Oh well, their loss. Cheers!
  9. I think we all surrender and pay too much under the guise of "compassion" which is nothing more than someone else's agenda.
  10. I'll be the first to say that's a Sexy Banner, good job! Second, we love the NC's and have been buying them from the Syndicate just this year and production put away the others to collect dust. Our production guy said the modules are Sexy with appearance and because of the color differential making them easy to identify. How came to that conclusion and word choice I don't know, but I thought I'd use to explain the banner, it's bold!
  11. Well said and you know we're in! I can't believe that person from that sign association just came on this topic and spammed us with something so off topic by promoting themselves. To top it off, didn't even have the decency to come back and answer any of your questions. Why would want to join more of the same? Your idea about creating a report for the public is perfect! ps - you need to delete her post
  12. We went back to using Tecnolux, consistency is better.
  13. Nice job Eric! I got to see this job at night when I was in the area, I am truly amazed and truly a very bright bright letter set that knocks the doors off the others!! Thank you for sharing, it's good to know what else is out there when the customer wants to stand out.
  14. We came into a similar job and the customer asked about LED. We pointed them to a few known locations that had some LED retrofits to take a look at night so they could judge for themselves on the lighting. We ended up going with just replacing all the components to the same . We found a lot of bad wiring as well as other issues when we performed the work. To date a year later, all is well and they haven't had any sudden outages since.
  15. What a wonderful writeup about one of our local companies! Thanks for the great read!
  16. I know I read a topic on here where a body was found during a pole sign installation, but I was wondering what are some of the strange items people may have found during their sign installations. Nothing strange over here other than new power tools added to our lineup and an occasional pair of sun glasses. Why couldn't it be money???
  17. Don't forget the works at a day spa! Haha, this site is a gem for sure.
  18. Any news yet? Just wondering how it might affect us, hopefully it won't affect anything on the Sign Syndicate.
  19. Everybody should know prices won't be talked about openly, we don't even discuss retail sign costs here that's only in the private section. Thanks for sharing Dave, my boss drooled on my keyboard a little when I showed him.
  20. Oh lord. Tell us which distributor and I promise we will never make a purchase with them again. See how they like them apples, haha. Or are they on the east coast?
