Warranty issues
By Vikki2021Question: If you have done an installation that requires you provide a one year warranty and you do so, then there is an issue with one of the signs, which you return to repair, and then a few months later, the store calls the company that hired you for the install and says they are having another issue and that company takes it upon itself to not inform you, but calls another sign company in, unbeknownst to you, and out of the blue calls you to try to collect. And I must note here that the am -

Shallow Sign Face Illumination
By Erik SineI was experimenting with the new revised BrightON Lightning module which is more efficient than the previous version.....more light for the same power. This BrightON Lightning module was made for very shallow lighting applications. Anyway, thought I would snap some pics and show how impressive this little module really is. This module is perfect for 3" & 5" return channel letters, even better for halo illuminated letters because of the crazy light output, perfect -

Project Management Software
Opinions on project management software. We are not a production shop, we are fully custom all work done in house. 30ish employees, no separate estimating department (Salesmen do initial call, initial survey, quoting, billing and some project management), we have a design team (salesmen have a dedicated designer), graphics department, router tables, fab shop, paint booth and installers.

The Sign Syndicate BrightON II LED Module
Maybe I should have titled it "That BrightON Halo Illumination"
Thought I would share a project where our new High-End 24 volt, .8watt BrightON II LED Modules were used.
As I've discussed before in the past. There is a difference and a gap between "Usable Light" and "Competitive Light". The BrightON II is the most efficient (Light per power) LED Module in it's class, and it is the definition of Competitive Light.
As explained here and suggested for spacing, it was chosen to use the 3" module spacer, and obviously you'll see as you scroll down the spacing could have even been much farther apart.

Fairemont Sign Company
"......Anyway, Fairmont contacted me just prior to the time I realized Regency was going to give me the runaround. So at the time, I didn't think to check for feedback here (lesson learned obviously). They asked me to remove a Goodyear sign. Did that, then the Regency crap started, then I saw their feedback. That's about when they asked me to remove signs at a Kwik Car location. I told them I would do it but if they don't pay...."

Just a warning to all in my area, they are looking for someone to install a "BIG PROJECT' but was never real specific about what exactly it was. The first thing I asked was payment terms and do they give a deposit, she said " Net 60 and only a deposit if we were manufacturing". I knew they were on my Shady list, and verified it with others here...."

Sky Hoist Crane problem
We have an older Sky Hoist and it's developed a problem recently. When we extend or retract the tubes hop and results in slack in the cables then they will retract until the cables are tight again. Tubes aren’t bent and they are greased. We can’t tighten up the extend/retract cables. We are looking for a place to source parts or suggestions. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ron Gileck -
Adding a jib to a Stamm Mfr truck - valve placement
By RoccoWhen I bought my ATR-41 it didn't have the jib but I bought one and it's on the truck. I'm having my hydraulic guy come later this week to make the connections. And no, I don't want to do it myself. I'd rather have someone who knows how do it properly. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and where is the best place to put the valve to operate the hoist. I was considering making a bracket similar to the control box of a scissor lift. That way we can hang it from the platform where -
Looking for a newer chassis for my crane
By SignsfastI am planning on having my sx57 skyhoist rebuilt and installed on a new(er) chassis. I am having a hard time finding unbiased opinions on which class 7 chassis is good and reliable.

24V - Sign Cabinet LED Modules
Double Sided Cabinet Light Spacing For LEDs
Most Light Source Suppliers and Manufacturers won't show you examples let alone "numbers" of light readings on Sign Cabinet or Sign Projects from light source components they push like these I'm posting here, but....This is The Sign Syndicate!
"Seeing is believing" as they say.
So, one of the components I've been big on because of feedback and demand is a strong enough LED module that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, isn't proprietary where you need to buy their special clips, brackets, etc, and actually put out enough light without exaggerated "Usable Light" under too far spread spacing that's supposed to save you money that won't compete with other existing signs in the area of your project.
Biggest complaint from sign shops about cabinet LEDs....."I don't want to use a whole bunch of power supplies!"
