How to Design A LED Shop Sign to Add Points to Your Store, FOG Lighting Will Help You

LED signage is the face of a shop, in this age of looking at faces, the importance of LED Shopfront signage is self-evident.

So, how do we design an attractive shop sign? This is a big question that confused many businessmen.

This article, FOG Lighting, will share some experiences with you.

First of all, a very important thing is that the shopfront LED signage should be made to highlight the style of the store.

For example, if your shop/store is in a casual style, the matching style of the shopfront sign should be able to highlight the sense of leisure and comfort. It can be set according to the category of crowds, young people can be fashionable and trendy, the older is elegant and mature. So we can give more consideration to fonts and tones according to your shop style, as well as your customer group.

Remark: Storefront LED signs that are easy to remember, cheerful, and auspicious will be loved by most people.

Secondly, add your shop content when you design the shopfront sign

Many shops will use a three-dimensional form to inform passers-by of special products and promotions in the store.

It doesn’t cost much, but we have to consider whether it is compatible with your store and avoid destroying the beauty of the shopfront signage design.

Thirdly, the materials selected to make the shopfront signage should be according to your store overall decoration style.

For example, the casual style shops, we can choose fashionable acrylic signs or acrylic light boxes, etc., to show our feelings.

At present, for small and medium businesses, blister light boxes are more commonly used in the market. The lightboxes use the LEDs as the light source, they are bright and energy-saving, have a long service life and are not easy to break.

However, for the big chain-shops, like more than 50, 100, or several thousand shops, they will choose the ABS mould LED shopfront signage, ABS lightboxes, and the ABS counter LED sign. Using injection moulding machines to make the shells, LED PCBA as the light source, even lighting, cost-effective, and uniform, elegant and beautiful appearance. Moreover, it can support batch production in a very short time that meets chain brands requirements. FOG Lighting has made ABS counter display LED signage for a famous mobile brand, 5000 sets in 2 weeks, for their new model released.

Forth, the shopfront signage should be designed clear and obvious in hindsight

The good design, simple, and refreshing shopfront LED advertising signage gives people comfortable first feelings.

Moreover, the LED signage need to be cleaned and maintained regularly, in order to maintain a long-lasting clean and fresh. As we all know, a clean and hygienic store will continue to attract customers.

10 Common Luminous LED Channel Letters Recommend and Application Occasions

LED luminous signboards are key advertising for retail shops and shopping malls, and are commonly used in most advertising activities. As far as we know, the LED channel sign letters are to induce people’s attention and interest, and also let people have the idea to go in your shop and have a look.

A good-looking LED light sign for the shopfront, background wall, or desktop display represents a good image of your company and brand, which can be clear presented to your clients and improve the brand performance at the same time.

Then, what are the categories of the LED shop signs? I will comment on 10 common luminous signs for everyone today. And if need custom advertising LED signage, welcome to send us messages via [email protected].

1. Double sides LED light sign

2-sides lighting led letters also known as frontlit and backlit MINI LED channel letter signage, the advantage is uniform luminescence, excellent sensory lighting effect and long service lifetime.

It’s MINI signage manufacturing craft, different from other led signage craft, the MINI letter has more possibilities. According to the MINI letter’s structure, it can be divided into face shell, bottom shell,  and LED lights. Unlike other led signage craft, it does not have metal shells/materials, will not hinder the lighting range. Moreover, it’s using excellent polymer acrylic that has a uniform light effect. Although the MINI letter sign is more suitable for the backlight effect, as long as you bake paint in the middle of the face shell, we can easily achieve the lighting effect of front-lit and backlit.

Moreover, when we change the bottom transparent/white shell to the required color, the light color of the front and back of the MINI sign letters will be different, and the backlight effect of the light-emitting led channel signage is more simple, beautiful, and three-dimensional compared with other craft led signs.

2. Epoxy resin LED channel letters

The resin led signs are very popular because of their uniform and beautiful lighting effect and diversified visual presentation, often used in the construction of high-end commercial brand terminal visual identity. So the resin led light sign important application occasions including mid-to-high-end commercial venues, entertainment clubs, and mobile and home appliances chain stores, etc.

Resin led light sign has 2 types, divided into epoxy resin luminous characters and unsaturated resin luminous characters. FOG Lighting only make the epoxy resin LED sign for our clients, and the thinnest stroke can be 6mm, and brightness can achieve more than 2 times of the acrylic LED channel letters.

3. Frontlit LED channel letters

It’s usually made with stainless steel, titanium, and galvanized sheets as raw materials. And the most common is the 304 stainless steel LED channel letters, which has both the metallic feeling of black titanium and the beauty of PMMA. It is the mainstream of outdoor LED luminous signs, with mature technology, low cost and high cost-effective performance.

LED frontlit channel letter has a beautiful outlook, strong three-dimensional sense and various performance materials, such as stainless steel, titanium materials with strong metal texture, as well as matte baking paint materials.

4. Punching LED channel letters

Also called a punching LED signboard, as its LED light sources are directly exploding into the air, the brightness is extremely strong. So it’s the best choice for the giant LED logo/letter signage for the high buildings. For example, to be the CBD’s LED sign, hotel led sign, shopping mall’s led signage, etc.

However, it’s not suitable to be used as a LED signboard with a close distance.

5. Aluminum LED channel letters

The boundless LED letter sign has many resin le sign’s characteristics and can make up for the shortage of yellowing while the resin LED signage using in outdoor.

At present, there are two types of borderless LED signage, aluminium shell and stainless steel shell LED sign letter. But the most widely used one is the aluminium material, so it’s ​widely known as the aluminium led channel letters.

6. Three-sided luminous LED channel letters

The whole body can be lighted up, it has the characteristics of impact resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and high solidity.

7. Backlit LED channel letters

It has a soft and dazzling light effect, which differs from the front-lit led channel letters. And it has many different materials choosing when making it, energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

Moreover, there is a three-dimensional sensory feeling after the light is turned on, the lighting effect is excellent during the day and night.

8. Marquee led channel letters

It’s a kind of retro craft LED signage, using spherical lamps or tungsten lamps as the light source, which are bright and eye-catching.

It’s very suitable to use on the holidays, like the Christmas decoration, or romantic weddings, and the bars, etc.

9. Neon LED channel letter sign

The LED neon sign is generally used for large outdoor signs or creative luminous designs/patterns. Some neon signs’ lights are displayed directly, some are blocked. And the LED neon sign is known as a high-end lighting decoration product, it looks like an ordinary neon lamp, but it can be bent arbitrarily.

Moreover, the LED neon channel letter is shatter-resistant and waterproof, so it can be used indoors and outdoors.

10. ABS injection moulding LED channel letter

The ABS led letters is made by the mould injection process, and the signage bottom shell is integrated without welding and joints, with outlet holes, mounting holes, and heat dissipation holes, one-time forming mould craft.

Moreover, the light source is different from the above 9 led channel letters, it’s using letter shape aluminium PCBA circuit board, which distribute LEDs by the SMT machines. So the lighting effect is superior to others, uniform lighting without dead corners, and blind spots.

The ABS led signage is outstanding compared with other led channel letters, no matter the lighting effect, quality, or beautiful outlook. However, not many people know it, as the ABS sign is more suitable for the chain brands, like the SAMSUNG, APPLE, SONY, LG, HUAWEI, OPPO, VIVO, Haier, Midea, etc brands, support mass production in a very short time.

LED Light Source Common Problems and Solutions of the LED Sign

At present, LED advertising signs have become mainstream products in the signage industry. Because of the huge demand for LED, the market competition in LED manufacturing and sales is also extremely fierce. Many suppliers have improved their competitiveness by lowering prices. As the saying goes ‘Cheapest is the dearest’, many customers have bought inferior products at cheaper prices, resulting in a series of after-sales problems. Today, the editor of FOG Lighting will discuss with you how to distinguish between good and bad luminous characters.

Too bright lighting is not necessarily good

When we make/order a LED sign, bright light is a must. At the same time, we also have to consider the durability of the LED’s lighting effect. Many suppliers will increase the current in order to improve the brightness of the LEDs, which will directly increase the heat of the exposed LEDs, thereby increasing the light attenuation of the exposed LEDs. The LEDs lighting effect is good, but only short-lived.

Solutions: Solutions: First of all, before you customize a logo, you must understand the approximate market price of your required craft. If the prices is too different from the market price, you have to pay more attention. Another way to clarify is that, we can touch the LEDs lighting temperature, if the exposed LED reaches the “hot” state within a short time after turn on the power, then there is a high probability of quality problems.

Does the LED light have chromatic aberration, and is the lighting effect uniform?

This problem directly affects the performance of the LEDs lighting effect. The LEDs colour difference directly leads to the uneven light effect of the luminous LED signage.

The reason for this problem has: the quality of the LEDs is inconsistent, they may be mixed use of good products and fake products. And this is also a way in the price wars. But the after-sales problems are also very troublesome to maintain.

Solution: Purchase the same supplier, same batch and same colour LEDs to make the same batch led sign.

Use ohmmeter tests the working current of the LEDs

Through the instrument, we can clearly test the working current of the LED lamp source.

Generally, the best working current of the LED is 20mA, if over 22mA, the heat is too large, the light decay is strengthened, and the life is shortened.

If less than 20mA, the brightness is not ideal enough.

Light-emitting angle

The larger the light-emitting angle of the LEDs, the better its astigmatism effect, and the irradiation range increases, but the brightness of the light emission is reduced; the smaller the light-emitting angle, the lighting increases, but the irradiation range will be reduced.

The light-emitting angle is an important criterion for evaluating LED light sources. Some manufacturers, in order to earn higher profits, reduce the light-emitting angle to increase the brightness, you will buy this kind of inferior product if you don’t pay attention.

We understand that the reason why you choose LED luminous signs as advertising is that the sign must have both day and night advertising effects.  FOG Lighting has a wealth of experience in led signage production, and moreover, FOG Lighting has its own workshop to make the LED PCBA boards, we will strictly control the product raw materials. As for the purchase of LEDs, FOG Lighting will test and inspect them before purchase, after arriving at our factory, and before installation. The quality of the FOG Lighting led signage product is trustworthy.

LED PCBA Light Source

Why Choose LED PCB Light Source for ABS Mould LED Sign?

Friends who know something about the ABS injection molding led signage, know that the LED circuit board light source (LED PCBA Light Source) is the designated light source for injection moulding ABS led sign. Usually, the LED sign light source we use is the LED modules or flexible LED stripe.

What are the unique advantages of the PCBA board light source that won the favour of a large number of chain brands? In this article, FOG Lighting will dissect it in detail.

If you want to know more about the ABS shell, pls refer to this web to get more info, https://www.foglighting.com/how-to-make-the-abs-injection-molding-led-signs-shell/

The injection-moulded ABS shell, because of its superior performance, in terms of chemical properties, the thermal deformation temperature of ABS material is 93-118 ℃, the finished products can be increased by about 10 ℃ after annealing. Moreover, ABS can still show certain toughness at minus 40 ℃.

First of all, luminous uniform and has a bright lighting effect.

Even lighting and high brightness are common requirements for all LED signs. But the regular led signs, like the stainless steel led sign, resin sign, seamless sign etc. are made by led modules and led strip, distributed and pasted the led modules/LED strip manual, so it is difficult to achieve such precision as the PCBA LED light source.

While the LED PCBA light source is using the LED laminating Machine, well-distributed the LEDs on the aluminium baseboard, evenly and no dead corner. Moreover, the aluminium baseboard is cut and shaped according to the size of the signage, can be perfectly fit the ABS shell.

After distributing the LEDs on the baseboard, then fixed the PCBA board on the inner side of the bottom ABS shell with screws. So you can see the ABS led sign lighting effect is much better than the one made by manual, even lighting, no blind spots, and dark area.

Secondly, a stable working state

The baseboard material of the PCBA light source is aluminium materials, which has excellent heat dissipation performance. Combined with the heat dissipation holes reserved on the backside of the ABS shell, it provides a suitable working temperature for the inside of the injection-moulded ABS led signs, greatly improving the service life and lighting stability of the LED PCBA light source, has low light decay, and the service life of the LED PCBA light source exceeds 50000h.

Thirdly, cost-effective

ABS led sign is usually required in batch (the led signs that need open new moulds), and the required luminous led sign specifications are unified, the LED PCBA light source can be made for batch production, with low cost and good lighting effect.

If you ordered the one that already has the ready-made moulds, that FOG Lighting has stocks, like the SAMSUNG, Haier, Galaxy, Siemens, etc, then no need to offer moulds cost again. Pls send messages to [email protected] to check if the brands you want to order already has the ready molds.

Fouth, easy installaiton

There is a large demand for the ABS mould led signs, clients also demand at least dozens of sets or hundreds of sets each time, many even reach several thousand or tens of thousands sets each time, the led PCBA board can be produced in a very short time, as it was made by the LED laminating Machine, only needs to fix the PCBA board in the ABS shell with screws, so ABS mold sign craft has high production efficiency and short delivery cycle.

To sum up, the customized LED circuit board (LED PCBA Light Source) can be select the type of LEDs and the LEDs distribution position according to the needs of customers. And through close cooperation, it can meet the most stringent requirements of high-end customers for the brightness and uniformity of the advertising signs.

Moreover, FOG Lighting has upgraded the waterproof performance of the letter shape LED PCBA board. There are two kinds of waterproof methods, Lens waterproof and covered with waterproof silicone glue, the waterproof level can be reaching IP67, the targe-angle optical lens can reduce the number of LEDs, energy-saving and environmental protection.

FOG LIGHTING has a variety of ready-moulds for home appliances, mobile phone brands, car brands, beauty brands, like OPPO, VIVO, HUAWEI, SAMSUNG, Midea, Haier, Toyota, Sony, Panasonic, and many other popular brands. Welcome to send us inquiries via [email protected].

Why my LED signage can not light up?

It’s big trouble for us that if our shopfront led sign or desktop led sign can not light up. Here FOG Lighting sum up some reasons why our led channel letters can not light up or are not bright as before. Let’s analyze and work out the solutions.

There sum up total 4 reasons that why my led signage not working:

Reason 1: Circuit Line Fault

Line fault is the highest probability that causes problems with our led signage, especially for the outdoor led letter sign. Moreover, the high temperature and humidity will cause the signage line to age in advance.

Reason 2: Power Supply Damage

The power supply can be said to be the heart of led luminous sign, which is very important and fragile. A wet or high-temperature environment easy to burn the power supplies, and if the power supply has a problem, will lead to voltage insatiability and burn out the LEDs inside the signage.

Reason 3: LED Problem

This reason is rare, and often happened on low-quality led signage products.

Reason 4: LED Life Expired

This situation is the least because LEDs have a longer lifespan than other light source products. The theoretical lifespan is 100,000 hours, and it can work for 10 years in continuous use.

After analyzing the reasons why the LED light-emitting sign letter light is not on, let’s see how to solve it?

Solution 1: Check the Circuit Line

Use a universal meter to check the line is connected. It has a problem, replace the line in time.

Solution 2: Change the Power supply

If there have problems with the power supply, just replace it directly. At the same time, we need to analyze why causes the power supply was damaged. If the environment reason, recommend placing the power supply in a dry and low-temperature environment. If the power supply burned due to the overload, recommend replacing it with a high power one.

Solution 3: Replace the LED

If change the LEDs, it’s best to change the same brand and model. If you change to other brands, it may lead to uneven lighting, different colour temperatures that affect the lighting effect.

Solution 4: LEDs life is exhausted

For this reason, we suggest replacing all LEDs. Because if only replaced the problem one, other LEDs will occur the same problem one after another. It’s better to replace them all directly.

 

When you want to make your own shop led signage, I suggest you find a supplier with a certain scale and reputation, as well as rich experience in this industry. Professional manufacturers can give us a good LED signage solution according to our requirements, purpose, and using environment. So that we can effectively reduce the failure rate and reduce the later maintenance cost. FOG Lighting is one of the largest advertising LED sign manufacturers in China.

What is the LED resin sign, How to make, the advantages and disadvantages of the advertising resin sign

Recently, the attention to the resin luminous LED sign has been increasing. However, most people are not clear about what resin signs are, the structure, and the production process. Don’t worry, through this article, the questions will be answered one by one for you, to help you to choose the best-led sign solution for your business, and which signage lighting effect, outlook will meet your requirements.

The structure of the led resin letters, resin shop signs

There are 3 parts for the resin signs, logo shells/bottom house, filling material, and the led light source.

 

The sign shell/bottom house part

It’s welding formed by plastic (ABS) injection moulding, or metal material (iron sheet, stainless steel, titanium, etc.). It’s made by the laser cutting machine according to the clients provided file. After laser welding, the edge shall be grooved, the LED sign letter bottom house welding must be firm and flat, and the three-dimensional edge must be accurate to achieve the docking and coincidence of the interface. Moreover, the resin led sign’s bottom house needs to be polished and then painted with white paint inside.

Distribute ultra-high brightness LEDs and electrode of the resin light sign

LED resin sign must pay attention to the uniform lighting when distributing the LEDs light source, especially for the thin strokes, that need to be encrypted and preferentially installed outside the strokes. To ensure the uniform lighting effect, we need to pay attention to the uniform wiring and the fixation.

The filling material in the shell is modified liquid resin casting

After distributing the LEDs inside, put a transparent acrylic face on the bottom house, seal the surrounding gaps with glass glue, and start pouring the resin after the glass glue solidifies.
After the resin is prepared, we need to make the air extracted through the vacuum machine. When pouring the resin, pay attention to whether there is resin leakage. And if has, it shall be filled in time. Pour the resin until the surface is obviously convex. When the resin is solidified and formed, the production is completed.

Final check the lighting effect and start trial adjustment, must wear organic gloves when checking, so as not to leave fingerprints and affect the appearance.

Remarks:

The resin letter shell should ensure the filling material’s casting and solid form, as well as effective reflection. Moreover, the filling material should ensure the penetration and uniform diffusion of the light; the LEDs should be installed and fixed at the bottom of the letter, and need to achieve a good diffusion effect so that the light maintains brightness and uniformity during the penetration of the resin. The finished resin characters have a smooth surface and a complete structure. There is no splicing mark between the surface and the shell, lighting evenly and bright.

How to make the led resin sign

  1. Do a good job on the metal shell. The resin letter shell is generally made of stainless steel (mirror or brushed), titanium, iron, etc. Requires fine workmanship, and the shell inside is coated with reflective paint to gather lights.
  2. Well distribute the LEDs and the electric circuit, LEDs need high brightness. When we made the very small and very thin strokes, asked to use the ultra-thin, and super-bright LED strips.
  3. Filled with liquid resin. Note: Stop casting when the resin level is 5MM from the top of the mould. The thickness of the resin casting layer is about 2CM. This layer is cast as a colourless and transparent cast layer, which can be called a light guide layer.
  4. Start the second layer casting, after the light guide layer, is cured. Resin + curing agent + homogenizing agent + colour is the second layer of the resin system. This layer is cast to fill the entire font and is called the homogenizing layer.
  5. Wait for the curing of the homogenizing layer to be completed.
  6. Clean the overflowing resin of the signage, polish and do the ageing test for 1-2 days.

The advantages of the resin LED signs

Resin signs do not need to be spliced when making big shop signs. Suitable for all kinds of small logos and Seiko logos. Can make all kinds of Seiko resin luminous characters. Exquisitely crafted, extremely small characters can also be produced, suitable for indoor image signs. Also can be adjusted to any color to meet clients requirements of the corporate image.

  1. Uniform lighting effect – reflect and transmit light with a unique light-transmitting, ensure the uniform light effect on the surface.
  2. Highlight – the luminous brightness can reach 500-1500Mcd (differs on the colour). Compared with traditional acrylic luminous characters, the same light source has nearly double the brightness.
  3. Ultra-thin – Has a light-transmitting and homogenizing layer, which can achieve an even lighting effect within a minimum distance of 20mm
  4. Superfine – good workmanship, the thinnest stroke can reach 6mm;
  5. High efficiency – maximize the use of light efficiency through reasonably led distribution and effective reflection of LEDs inside
  6. Energy-saving – LED light source, each led is only 0.1W, only 30W per square meter, and the power consumption is one-tenth of that of traditional neon lights;
  7. Safety – DC 12V, low voltage, safe and harmless to human body;
  8. Long life – with the super long life of 100000-200000 hours, waterproof, dust-proof and anti-static, ensure the best working environment of LED and maximize the service life of light source;
  9. Environmental protection – all anti-corrosion materials, no harmful gas vocalization, no light pollution and chemical pollution.
  10. Applicable – it can work normally and safely in harsh environments from- 40 ℃ ~ 80 ℃, with high intensity, and can resist heavy rain, hot and other climatic environments, strong wind resistance and good sealing, greatly enhance the wind resistance in the sky. It can be installed on buildings such as indoors, high altitudes, pools, walls, etc.

The disadvantages of the resin LED signs

  1. High cost
  2. The trouble with maintenance, Once the light source inside is not bright, pry the resin on the surface layer, replace the light source, and pour the resin again; therefore, once a problem occurs, the maintenance cost is extremely high.
  3. Have difficulties with the large logos installation, the sizes are big, and the weight is very heavy.

Throughout the above advantages and disadvantages of resin letters, there is still a large space in the market. But it can’t completely replace other led signages.

What is LED signage – types, advantages and disadvantages of LED signs

What is the LED signage?

LED signages are a relatively large concept. In specific usage scenarios, we need to decide what kind of LED signs to use according to the actual needs of the scene. Normally, LED signages are mainly made of metal materials or acrylic materials. The light beam is emitted under the action of the LED light source, so that the overall luminous sign looks more attractive.

Types of LED signages available on the market

So what are the characteristics of different types of LED signs? Fog lighting will tell you the characters of the 14 common LED signs in the market:

ABS Shell

How to Make the ABS Injection Molding LED Signs’ Shell

Today let me introduce how to make the shell of ABS mould LED signage so that you can know more clear about this craft.

Nowadays, using the injection moulding machine to make the ABS moulded shell is a very popular craft in the LED signage market. The ABS shell is injection moulded by a fixed size stainless steel mould, and if we only judged it by the naked eye, many people will mistakenly think that the injection moulded ABS shell is a metal paint baking material. When you take the ABS shell in hand, touch and knock it with your hand, and listen to the sounds, you will find that it is not metal material. We called the material of the injection moulded letter shell ABS material. It is a kind of synthetic resin and belongs to the category of plastics. To make it easier to understand and make sense, let me make an example, like the TV’s house, our computer display’s house, and our computer mouse’s materials are also the ABS materials.

ABS Injection Molded Shell

Firstly, the injection moulded ABS shell is heated and then solidified according to the formulated stainless steel moulds. And as ABS belongs to plastic, its thermoplastic performance is better compared with other metal materials. Moreover, ABS material is easier to process and shape the logo/signage’s shell without a too high temperature, which reduces the difficulty of production.

ABS’s full name is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, it is a thermoplastic polymer structural material with high strength, good toughness and easy processing, also known as ABS resin. And ABS also has good dimensional stability, is not easy to deform, and its surface is easy to paint and colour, which provides a variety of colour choices for injection moulded sign shells.  Because of these superior specifications, the biggest application fields of ABS resin are automobiles, electronic and electrical appliances, building materials and DIY manufacturing. And ABS led letter sign is one of the innovative use.

Moreover, the weight of ABS material is greatly reduced compared with the metal materials, which makes the injection-moulded LED signage more lightweight, but has excellent mechanical properties, good impact resistance and toughness. Although it is plastic, it is not easy to break. At the same time, ABS injection moulded letter shell also has strong wear resistance and oil resistance. It is not affected by water and inorganic salts. The colour of the letter/signage shell can remain stable for a long time.

These characteristics of ABS materials determine the unified, standard and stable functions of ABS injection moulded LED light signage. At present, most chain brands choose the ABS shop sign, the bottom boxes/shells of their shop signs, fixture signs, desktop signs are made of ABS materials.
