  The Great White Hope IV

  By Erik Sine August 12

  It's been a minute since I've been active on the Sign Syndicate I must admit.   Real Life activities along with how busy I have been with developing our Brighton LED Line have taken me away from keeping this site active.  I wasn't expecting the Brighton LED line to really take off as it has.  It's required a lot of attention and I'm purposely trying to keep product circle on who sells it small.  Quality is where my focus lays and not Quantity.  I have no desire to be the next Principal

• MA sign shop Boston

  By Alina Khan March 24

  Shop signs in Boston, MA, are a blend of history, style, and functionality. From classic gold-lettered signs in Beacon Hill to modern LED displays in Downtown, they reflect the city’s charm. Many businesses opt for handcrafted wooden signs, echoing Boston’s colonial past, while others use sleek metal or neon for a contemporary look. Regulations ensure signs maintain the city's aesthetic, particularly in historic districts. Whether it’s a cozy café in the North End or a boutique on Newbury Street

• 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.

  "......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...."

  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!"
