LED Signs
20 Questions to Ask Before You Buy
by: Kim Clark

<<Previous

15. Is the sign face PAINTED on the inside to prevent scratching and the effects of weathering? - You will want the answer to this question to be “yes”.  Avoid vinyl stickers which will crack, peel and fade.  The leading vinyl manufacture, 3M, will only warranty vinyl used on sign faces for a maximum of 7 – 11 years.

16. Is the sign cabinet fabricated with heavy extruded aluminum, heliarc welded, with aluminum angels and reinforced mitered corners? 
Remember, the sign will be the first impression that those passing by will have of your organization.  Quality and durability are keys to your satisfaction.

17. Will the company guarantee that all components and the sign are of new materials? 

18. Are the components, sockets, lamps and ballasts of superior quality and water resistant, waterproof, and warranted for the lifetime of your organization?  Your sign will be exposed to the elements, 24/7, 365 days a year.  Look for a national LED supplier that builds their signs to withstand the forces of nature.  Ask if they can provide you with a list of satisfied customers in all 50 states and beyond.

19. Is the sign U.L. approved? - Underwriters Laboratories approval indicates that the product has been tested against nationally recognized safety standards and found to be free from reasonably foreseeable risk of fire, electric shock and related hazards.

20. Will the sign withstand 125 miles per hour wind load? - Look for a company that has signs in the field that have withstood hurricane force winds.  Ask for testimonial letters from customers attesting to the strength and durability of such signs.
