Wow. Rather concerning! I've never had these kinds of problems myself. We're lucky in that regard, I guess - our store has had its current sign running daily for close to ten years without so much as a single issue. But it's alarming to see such a shoddy job, especially those pics from Val's reply. What a mess!
Also think it's unfortunate that repeated cases like this give these signs a bad rap. As articles like this mention, there are definitely benefits to going with an LED sign over other options. Especially when you factor in running costs.
But then if you're not doing it right the first time with someone reputable? You're probably losing money in the long run anyways. Crazy that so many businesses are choosing the cheap-and-nasty method and then turning around surprised when something breaks!
