The Evolution of LED Signs On the Sunshine Coast

by Sunquest Industries Best signage for your business
Anyone who watches the popular TV show, American Pickers, will know how sought-after neon signs remain many decades after they were first invented. Illuminated signage is still very popular and extremely effective.

Whereas some forms of signage merge into the background, illuminated signs really draw the eye and can be seen over big distances. Lightboxes were another type of illuminated sign but, as with neon, businesses found the cost of powering them could be quite prohibitive.

That is until LED arrived. Suddenly a whole new world of signage opened up that was highly effective, versatile and, best of all, economical to run.

From Humble Beginnings

Standing for Light Emitting Diode, LED has been around in various forms since the 1950s. However, the first visible spectrum (red) LED was created in 1962 by Nick Holonak. The blue LED was developed by Herbert Paul Maruska a decade later, followed by the final piece in the puzzle, the white LED.

The first LED Signs on the Sunshine Coast were expensive and bulky. The resolution was mediocre and the colours were limited. Fast forward to today and the sky's the limit. High quality LED signs are much more affordable and there's no comparison with those early models. They are also very energy-efficient.

As technology has improved high quality LED sign providers have been able to offer a wider choice of products at lower prices. And they're still improving.
 
Smart Investment

An LED sign is a smart investment for any business. It certainly gets results and, over time, can actually save you money on traditional advertising. When you look at the initial investment you may wonder how that is possible. It's all about the number of potential customers you reach, that's what gives you such as excellent ROI.
 
High quality LED signs are a powerful visual communication tool in a world where it pays to stand out. They're designed for maximum impact for any business. One thing you don't want to do, however, is buying an import; the reason being that very few can stand up to the tough Australian climate.

Australian-made is Best

It is far more efficient and cost-effective to choose a locally made product. They will be made from quality components and designed for our environment. The other advantage of buying local is that you'll benefit from the company's installation service, training and technical backup.

LED signs on the Sunshine Coast come in all sizes, for indoor, outdoor and window use. Programmable LED signs give you even more versatility and are well worth the investment.

LED signage is still evolving and the newest technology uses the power of video to reach target audiences. The fact is, the words and graphics you use in digital signage must be handled quite differently to traditional signage.

Less is More

For example, for outdoor LED signs you need to consider the Three Second Rule; in other words, when you're trying to attract passing traffic, you have just three seconds to do it. Keep your messages short and readable. It's often a case of less is more.

Whatever industry you're in, when it comes to renewing your signage think carefully about the benefits of using high quality LED signs.
