Signs Plus provides
the highest quality, most affordable, electronic LED sign on the
market! The old technology of incandescent light bulb moving message
signs has been too expensive to operate for most churches and
schools. LED signs reduce the electric operating cost to 10% of that
of an incandescent sign.
Another benefit of LED technology is maintenance costs are
nearly non-existent!
An LED Is
An LED or Light Emitting Diode contains a chemical compound
that gives off light when an electrical current passes through it.
Unlike a lightbulb, there are no filaments or breakable parts that
will need to be replaced. Signs Plus uses brand name LEDs provided
by companies like Hewlett Packard that have a life expectancy of
100,000 hours!
A Pixel Is
A pixel is a point of light on an LED sign. An LED sign is
made up of an array of pixels (or points of light - appearing as
dots). A pixel can be as small as one LED or it may contain a
cluster of pixels. (3, 4, 6, etc.) The closer the LED’s are
together, the higher the resolution of the image. (.6” spacing has a
higher resolution than .9” spacing)

Viewing Distance & Time
ARE Important
Viewing distance is one of the most important
factors used to determine the correct size of an LED display. As a
general rule, 1” of LED text is viewable up to 50’ away.
The following chart lists the maximum time an audience will
have to view a sign with specific character sizes.
Based on Signs Plus’ experience, an average of at least 4
seconds is needed for a moving audience to adequately recognize and
comprehend the content of a sign.

Viewing Angle IS Important
Yes! Signs Plus provides a 140 degree viewing angle. This allows you
to view the message from all angles. The brightness will not fade
out as you drive past the sign.
Characters Per Line
The number of characters per
line is determined by the length of (or number of pixels across) the
sign. The average single stroke letter requires 5 pixels across plus
a space. Therefore a 96 column sign will display 16 characters. (96
/ 6 = 16) |
Our hybrid pixels are designed to
maximize both brightness and to reduce heat accumulation.
Individual LED Lamp Louvers
By utilizing individual mini louvers over each LED
lamp, we are able to provide a greater level of contrast, brightness
and daytime visibility when compared to standard cluster louvers.
This is achieved by the mini louver providing an individual LED lamp
shading during times of direct sun exposure.
Longer LED Life
Because of individual shading over LEDs, there is less
heat accumulation resulting in longer LED life.
Clean Connection
The hybrid technology utilizes a direct connection to a
special PC Board without the need of wires. Each of the pixels are
now connected directly to the driver boards resulting in a more
dependable, lower cost, and easy to service display.
Individually Detachable
Pixels
Signs Plus’ “plug-and-play” technology allows each pixel to be
individually detached for easy serviceability! In fact, it will take
less than 5 seconds to replace each pixel!
