One thing that we do encourage for customers who have an older lighted sign like that is switching over to l e d. I know everybody thinks l e d is the, uh, you know, l e d is the way to go. And, um, and, and so that’s, that’s one of the things that we were encouraged. We basically, it, the old way was fluorescent light bulbs that was hooked up to a ballas and things like that. We take those out. We use what’s called quick mod lights, and we hook those up to a power supply, usually 60 to 120 wa power supply. And we go in and we line, we pull the ballast for the fluorescent lights, and we run these rails that have l e d quick lights on ’em, cut them down to the correct size, put those into your, into your, uh, sign can.

And now you’ve been converted over to LEDs. LEDs last longer. It’s, it’s just a, it’s a true fact. Fluorescent bulbs will burn out. Um, LED lights, lights, it’s, you know, I wouldn’t, you can’t quote me on it, but l e d lights typically will last about 10 years. Um, a lot of anybody that that calls and talks to me on the phone, uh, looking for a new sign, if it’s, if we’re replacing an old sign, if we’re replacing, um, if we’re replacing a old sign for a company, that is always going to be the one thing I know we did. Um, we replaced the insides for Dewey Public Schools. Their, their lighted sign out front. We got rid of all the fluorescent and replaced that with LEDs. Why once a year we were taking the faces off to, you know, every 18 months, taking the faces off and having to replace the bulbs with l e D lights, that’s pretty much non-existent.

It’s set it and forget it type of thing. Um, yeah, things happen, but for the most part, you’re good for anywhere from five to 10 years on having to change out a bulb. You don’t have to worry about the upkeep. Ballast don’t go out, as you know, they did in fluorescent lights. These l e d lights, they don’t really have a ballast. Um, and, and so that’s, that’s one of the pluses to going with an L e d lighting source over a traditional fluorescent. Um, so sign cans is a, you know, can lights is a lot of what you’ll see with, um, you know, bigger companies. Um, you’ll see those out on buildings, and those will have the slighted signs, though. You have the back lit channel letters as well for things. Um, and another one that’s quite popular and very minimalistic, I love the look of them, are, um, acrylic letters, uh, signs.

In fact, we’re getting ready to do one this week for a company that is just individual letters that are usually typically put onto a wall and it makes out like the Bartlesville High School has ’em on there, there, uh, a lot of your different businesses have them. And, uh, it’s a great way to add kind of a classy look to it. It’s doesn’t, it’s not, you know, over the top design wise, it just looks really good. Um, and you can get those as acrylic letters, and it’s a great way, it’s an interesting process of getting those hung up where we use a paper pattern, We come out to your, uh, building, we set up the paper pattern, and then we drill in and they’re great. They last a really long time. Um, very secure. Very rarely do we get phone calls of something falling off in a windstorm or, you know, tornadoes and, and thunderstorms are quite the norm around here.

Um, but we don’t really have to deal with those type of things really sturdy. They hold up. They, you know, the fading on them isn’t as what you would think that would with anything else from the sun. Um, it’s just a really great choice. If you’re looking for something that’s gonna last, it’s gonna be a classic look, uh, for your business. Acrylic letters is always the way to go. I think one of the signs that you will see in a lot of places, used in a lot of different ways, is going to be banners. Banners is such an easy way for people to advertise things. Uh, they’re for temporary signs. They’re for temporary things like events, very much like a yard sign, but a lot of people will get ’em, use ’em several times. I know churches and organizations that have yearly things such as like, you know, an Easter service or, uh, chili cooked ffa, chili supper, things like that.
