Illuminated sign tips

Tips

1.  Angle the lights towards your reader

Always angle the light box towards the best viewing position of the reader. If your sign is above eye level, aim slightly downwards towards your people. It will make reading much easier. If your sign is lower, aim upwards. If the illuminated sign or cabinet is on an acute angle, face the internal sign towards your people. The viewing angle of the led lights gives excellent viewing from the side, but to make the most of the bright lights, aim towards your customers line of sight.

2. Use colors for readership, followed by effect.

Its great being able to explode, flash, blink the letters etc and to swap between illuminations and colors, but you should first design your signs for reading. Use colors that make the message communicate with your people. Follow this with punchy colors for effect.

3. Panel messages in blocks

It is better to stay themed with your messages and panel information in blocks. An example is to write all the 'spare parts' (car dealer) in a sequence, followed by all the new car prices (car dealer). This works better than new car, spare part, new car, spare part etc.
This technique is also applied when using constant information such as waiting, public announcements etc.

4. Add pictures and LOGOS

Adding a logo to your sign will go a long way with your customer perception. People buy brands above generic, so when you insert a sign logo or picture in front of your message, it helps sell your products.

TOP TIP   5. Alternate the clock date and time

Your new illuminated sign from us includes a time date function (included Free with our models) so you can pause between messages periodically and inform people of the time or date or both. This is a great tip for business owners. Everybody looks at the clock.

6. Sequence the smart way

Your new running message sign also has the function (included free on our models) to sequence messages after the last played. This is great for setting up messages that form a standard set. E.g. You can create a message 'arrive 10 mins before appointment'. This can be sequenced behind any other message. E.g. 01... 02... 44.... 65... 02.... 82.... 02.
By having a sequence running, you only need to change the 02 message to update the entire board.

New! How LED lights work

Pulsating electrical charges (fonts and letters) are stored inside the led sign panel and when activated, illuminate the led lamp. Each lamp (pixel) is nested in a placeholder, thus making up the length and height of the illuminated sign. The resolution is determined by how many pixels are high and across. When the sign is programmed and turned on, each pixel can illuminate independently
