NightLit^™ Solar-Panel Lighting Option

Solar panels are ugly and expensive.

So what can you do when it is cost-prohibitive to run power to a sign location?

Signs Manufacturing™ created an affordable, attractive, unobtrusive answer. We created an outdoor, wet-location, sealed solar-panel and multiple-light combination pack specifically designed for signs. Patent and Listing Pending.

NightLit™ lighting is designed to not be as bright as an advertising sign; it is designed to provide adequate, attractive lighting for identification, directional, and informational signage purposes.

Three screws/bolts can attach this sign to virtually any surface. It is solar-powered with internal back-up power rated to last 72 consecutive hours without recharging. Automatic self-contained on-at-dusk, off-at-dawn controls.

An example of where it can be beneficial is building identification.

Modern America searches for locations using computer assistance, and by address and suite/apartment numbers, primarily. Even while driving.

The International Fire Code (IFC) 505.1 contains specific requirements for commercial building identification. Many AHJ's (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) modify these basic requirements to require that building identifications, including both address and/or units identification where appropriate, be lighted to aid emergency service responders at night.

Frankly, this requirement also aids package and food delivery companies (UPS, FedEx, Uber, Lyft, GrubHub, etc.) Many apartment and condo management companies use this amenity of user-friendly lighted building identification as a selling point to prospective dwellers who might have guests/deliveries trying to find their apartment at night.

Specific to emergency response, some AHJ's require that lighted address identification remain lighted if the power supply to the building is disrupted; a very good idea. But it has been very costly to meet modified IFC 505.1 rules with existing structures because of the cost of providing power and back-up power to retrofitting signage; until now.

Increased safety and convenience at an affordable cost.

Other uses?

Adding a lighted address to an unlighted monument sign.
Adding lighted directional signs in parking lots.
A lighted Valet Parking A-frame sign.
A lighted real-estate or construction temporary sign.
Lighted informational signs, directory signs, identification signs…etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

It is relatively cheap, can be permanently custom-inscribed, custom-painted, UV-protected, vandal-resistant-coated, repairable, and readily available!

There are, however, size and design restraints on this technology. Discuss your vision with us; since we're the ones who created NightLit™ we're the experts. We'll create a way to make it work for you.

Our initial product requires a 24-36" cabinet length, and a height of 15" or less.

Using Our Website to Learn | The Knowledge Tree^™

On our Knowledge Tree™ pages in the left column discover how we manufacture each Directional sign to last; including the use of CNC manufacturing, structural-steel frames, rust-proof metal, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics or strong flexible-face materials, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings. All our signs include these many hidden features, critically important to you but often ignored by competitors to lower their cost. We even add self-cleaning properties.

We commonly build directional signs with real and artificial brick, stone, and stucco exterior finishes. These are ideal for community signs and entry signage.

Be sure to visit our Sign Photo Gallery to see more!

Are You a "Visual" Person?

It is difficult to picture what a sign is going to look like. What do you picture when we say "triple-layer multi-colored lighting with a textured backplate?"

Our showroom is designed to solve that problem. Most people are visual ... they need to see something firsthand to understand what it is and whether it has value to them. Seeing is believing!

Visit our Showroom to see for yourself.

Don't buy your sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures,
when you can actually see and side-by-side compare Real signs and designs.

Visit Our Unique Sign Showroom and Sign Lighting Laboratory

Unique in the entire sign industry, Signs Manufacturing™ built an 85' by 50' (over 4,000 sq ft) indoor sign lighting laboratory for testing the longevity, visibility, and effectiveness of all the lighted signs we manufacture. The Laboratory is open to the public, for FREE.

Don't buy your sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures, when you can actually see and side-by-side compare Real signs and designs.

Thousands of visitors have learned about sign design, materials, construction, lighting; and their effect on a business.

We invite you to also observe all other types of signage, viewing them up close as well as from a distance, under varying light conditions (and stay out of the weather while doing so!)

Will your Sodium Vapor or Metal Halide parking lot lights affect the colors of your sign at night? How visible will your pylon sign's border neon be during the day? Should you consider PinLights™, LetterLites™, SpectraLites™, or Trembler™ signs? Brighter Signs™ neon or SolarBrite™ LED lighting for channel letter signs? Fluorescent or HID lighting for your directional sign? Do Daylight or Cool White fluorescents make your sign's colors look best? What are the differences between a flex-faced, a Lexan™, and an acrylic-faced sign cabinet?

How will shadows affect my sign's readability during the day? Should the wall behind my sign be light or dark colored? Would a different type of sign look better on my brick wall? Should I consider a routed sign face with push-through letters?

Don't buy your sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures, when you can actually see and side-by-side compare Real signs and designs.

With the addition of an interactive transforming storefront our Showroom contains over $750,000 in business sign ideas alone, not to mention signs for churches and schools!

Can you afford not to?

"I almost made a huge mistake by not listening to you and visiting your showroom prior to buying my sign. I thought I knew what I wanted, after listening to so many salespeople...boy, was I wrong. My vision of the sign did not jibe with what it would really turn out to be, even after viewing so many drawings. It was obvious the moment I entered the showroom. If I had stuck to my guns my sign would have been a disaster. I would have wasted a lot of money."
