Convert to LED.

We retrofit older fluorescent, neon, and HID signs with LED, same look, fraction of the energy use, and far less maintenance.

Why Retrofit Your Sign to LED?

A typical fluorescent or neon sign uses 3 to 5 times more power than an LED retrofit doing the same job. Bulbs and ballasts wear out and need replacing. LED retrofits can last 50,000+ hours and rarely need maintenance. For a sign that runs from dusk to dawn 365 days a year, the math gets compelling fast.

Process

How It Works

Three steps from your current setup to a fully retrofitted LED sign. We start with an on-site walkthrough, send you a custom plan and a flat-rate quote, then handle the install. One invoice when it's done.

On-Site LED Assessment

We walk the property, inspect your current setup, and figure out exactly what an LED retrofit needs to cover.

Custom Retrofit Plan

We design a build sized to your specific sign, not an off-the-shelf kit, and send you a fixed quote plus estimated monthly power savings.

Install, Test, & Done

Install goes in, runs under power, and you walk away with an LED setup built to last 50,000+ hours with almost no maintenance.
