Description
This is something we have been working on for a long time. We have been repeatedly asked for a way of making a house sign to stand out at night so delivery drivers can find them when it’s dark. The usual way is to use a flood light to shine on your sign or use some kind of overhanging strip light bulb to show the lettering, not always the easiest thing to do.
This is our way of doing it – ‘Light-Sign’, the concept is to have a sign that during the day looks like a regular sign, clear to read, well made and stylish. But… when night falls, you flick a switch and the lettering glows. Not too bright, not too dull just stunning clear lettering glowing in the darkness.
How Light-Sign Works:
The bulbs, hidden inside the sign itself, are high-quality LEDs which have a life span of 10 years. (one hundred thousand hours) Because we use LEDs the amount of power needed to run the sign is extremely low, making Light-Sign an efficient and cost-effective way to illuminate your house name.
The front panel of the sign is coated in a thick black coating allowing only the light to shine through the lettering. The whole thing is then surrounded by a solid oak frame and posts, all put together using traditional joinery techniques. The whole sign is extremely sturdy and will last for years.
Please Note: You will need a 240v power supply installed where you plan to place the sign. Attached to one of the posts is a IP rated waterproof transformer. You will need an electrician to install the power supply to the transformer.
Sizes:
We offer 2 sizes, small and large, giving you the flexibility of having your house name on 1 or over 2 lines if required. The length of the sign will vary depending on how much lettering is required. We allow between 50cm and 1 meter in length. Please see below for the sign dimensions: If you would like a light sign made to a specific size please let us know before ordering.
The oak frame is made from 4.5cm thick solid oak and mounted on huge 8cm thick x 1.2 meter long posts. We always allow plenty of space around your house name so the lettering is centred. Lettering is available in all caps or upper and lower case, please let us know at time of ordering.
Finish:
All of our oak signs come either untreated or sealed with water-resistant, Liberon Superior Danish Oil as standard, this finish will require regular upkeep. However, if you would prefer a low-maintenance finish, we also offer our Diamond-Coating finish as an optional extra.
