The Watson Family's Full-Service Sign Company

Inexpensive (Cheap) LED

Electronic Message Centers

Need the look and prestige of an electronic message center to help your business grow, but can't afford it?

Can you survive with one fixed message?

Single OR multi-color?

We can manufacture a LED electronic message with the same look, features, and display of the most expensive variable-display message center, for 1/2 the cost!

Signs Manufacturing™ sign company incorporates a patent pending high-tech design into our unique new-look concept.

PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting systems feature SolarBrite™ LEDs that are optically enhanced to appear larger.

Cabinet signs with color graphics and PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting is a hands-down winner.

No other face-decorated cabinet sign incorporates direct lighting.  And when compared to incandescent lighting or fluorescent back-lighted cabinet signs it is better-looking, cheaper, lasts longer, and uses less energy.

The US Small Business Administration (SBA) says that an electronic message center will increase a store's volume 15 to 150%.

The attribute that makes LED Electronic Message Centers so effective is that they use light to attract attention during the day.

This is the only other sign face that can do so.

With LED first-surface lighting, again like electronic message centers, you determine the daytime brightness of your sign by the density, colors, and patterns of lighting you choose.  PinLights™ gives you choices, unlike all other forms of lighting.

PinLights™ can also comply with many cities bans on flashing lights, which causes electronic message centers to be banned or severely restricted, or they can flash or twinkle (in multiple or varying colors.) 

But at a minimum the decorated sign face is comparable to a traditional back-lighted sign face when not lighted.

In other words, a PinLights™ sign will always look better, and attract more attention, than any cabinet sign ever built previously; and...it can cost about the same to purchase, but use less energy.

Many companies manufacture LEDs.  There are over 5,000 varied LEDs available, and they vary greatly as to brightness, lux, light-dispersal (viewing) angle, useful lifetime, and lifetime.

Some are very cheap, some are quite expensive.

Signs Manufacturing™ only uses SolarBrite™ LEDs that are rated to retain 80% of their brightness for 60,000+ hours.  These are the most expensive, but highest value, LEDs.  Our selection of LEDs is what makes our signs brighter, and last longer.

As an example, a White SolarBrite™ LED is 280 lux, compared to our BrighterSigns™ neon's 235 lux, or standard neon's 140 lux.

A SolarBrite™ LED incorporates a new kind of chip, different from all other LEDs.  Signs Manufacturing™ is an industry leader in the implementation of new technology in advertising.

SolarBrite™ LEDs utilize military specification coatings on the circuit boards the LEDs are attached to, preventing corrosion and electrical problems.

Like neon, LEDs are also affected by voltage.  For instance, an LED will also burn nearly 100% brighter if you double the power feeding it.  The LED will last about 1/6 as long, however, making this alternative quite expensive in total cost.

We power our SolarBrite™ LEDs properly.

SolarBrite™ PinLights™ LEDs are available in 5 fixed colors (Red, Green, Blue, White and Yellow) or as multi-color infinitely-variable individual lights featuring 65,000,000 colors.

Unlike virtually every other LED sign currently manufactured, each individual PinLights™ LED is independently serviceable.

And if a single LED does fail all of the other LEDs still light.  Our wiring is in parallel, not in series.

In most instances PinLights™ LED first-surface lighting systems can be retrofitted to existing internally lighted cabinet signs, pole and pylon signs, and Monument signs.

  Patents Pending

UL or ETL listed Sign Component

Underwriters Laboratories has evaluated PinLights™ and they have been approved for use in outdoor, damp and wet location signs.

UL Approval #E345252.

Ours are the only products so approved.

As the manufacturer we are very proud of this.

Energy-Saving ™ PinLights™ Signs

PinLights™ consume 0.1 watt per light at 5 volts DC!  One thousand lights left on 8 hours per day for 365 days will use $4.01 in electricity.
