Frequently asked questions

How long do the LEDs last?

Our LED modules are rated for roughly 50,000-100,000 hours of use, well over a decade of typical operation.

Can front-lit letters be installed on a raceway?

Yes, they can be mounted directly to the wall or pre-assembled on a raceway panel for easier installation.

What happens if one letter's LED fails?

Each letter typically has its own LED circuit, so a single failure won't affect the rest of the sign.

Can front-lit letters be built without a visible trim-cap?

Yes, trimless construction is available for a cleaner, more seamless look between the face and returns.
