LED Sign Research Review: 4 Reasons To Make The Switch

LED signs convey your message faster. The less time it takes readers to process your message, the better your odds of making an impact at-a-glance.
In one study by Lighting Research and Technology, researchers determined that “the speed and accuracy of visual processing… is systematically related to the luminance of the background or characters” (Rea & Ouellette, 1991). In tests measuring message processing speed, LED signs stood head-and-shoulders above the competition, making them a great choice for mass marketing in busy outdoor settings.
LED signs greatly reduce operating and maintenance costs. Compared to traditional neon signs, LED signs cost approximately 5-times less to run, and they last more than 25-times longer than incandescent bulbs. Factoring in LED signs’ increased lifespan, lower operating costs, and maintenance savings, researchers at the Thermal Science journal estimate that users pay an average of 53-62% less over the life of the product (Josijevic et al., 2017).
LED signs increase your brands’ recognition distances. According to the United States Sign Council Foundation, “recognition distances at night tend to increase as sign luminance increases, but decrease at the very highest luminances,” which suggests that when it comes to lighting there is such a thing as too much of a good thing (Garvey et al., 2009). But LED signs strike the perfect balance of luminance—enough to catch the eye and maximize recognition distances, but never wash out your message or subject you to sign code penalties.
LED signs are more legible than externally lit signs. In the course of their research for the Handbook of Transportation Engineering, Garvey & Kuhn (2011) discovered that internally-illuminated LED signs improve nighttime legibility by 40-60% compared to externally-lit signage. If you want to attract eyes on your business after dark, LED signs are the obvious pick.
