5 Benefits of LED Signs

December 28, 2015

What is an LED Sign?

“LED” has been a commonly used term for a while now, but what’s all the hoopla? LED is an acronym for Light Emitting Diode. Unlike an ordinary light bulb, LED doesn’t use a filament to create light, nor does it waste electricity by creating heat as a byproduct. LED is popular because it’s more efficient and less costly in usage compared to light bulbs.

LED signs are named for their use of LED, as opposed to ordinary light bulbs, to create bright displays, while also being energy efficient, long-lasting and low maintenance.

Why LED Signs Are Better for Business

1. Energy Efficient

Fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs emit light and heat in all directions. LED, however, emits light in a specific direction and can thus use energy and light more efficiently.

2. Brighter Than Any Other Illuminated Sign

LED signage makes messages pop and enhances the appearance of the brand and location. LED signs are the brightest of illuminated signs–this means that your target market can see your business sign from much further away.

3. One of the Least Expensive Forms of Advertising

According to the Small Business Administration, signs in general are considered to be one of the least expensive forms of advertising for a business. And, did you know that LED signs have a CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) of as little as $0.15?

4. Completely Customizable

Let’s not forget the benefits of customizing your colors and message. With LED signs, you can pretty much use any color, or variety of colors, you want to showcase your branding. You can also choose between color or monochrome LED signs (color is better for pictures, and monochrome is a better choice for text only signs).

5. Simpler Installation & Maintenance

LED signs are light and easy to transport, making them much easier to install than some of the traditional illuminated sign options. Because an LED sign is created with sealed clusters of LEDs, more accurately known as pixels, they are low-maintenance. Even if a few LEDs burn out, the sealed pixels allow for the sign to continue running without immediate repair.

ADA Signage Requirements for Commercial Buildings in California

For ADA signage in commercial buildings in California, one must comply with both the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Building Codes (CBC). For facility managers and business owners, the specific requirements for tactile signs, braille, and placement are not optional. Non-compliance leads to failed inspections, accessibility lawsuits, and costly retrofits. The rules apply to any permanent room or space: restrooms, stairwells, exits, conference rooms, and accessible parking.

Your multi-tenant building signage in Southern California is either solving those problems or making them worse. When signage is unclear, outdated, or incomplete, you pay for it with disrupted operations and tenant turnover.

Complete Signage Planning Guide for Commercial Property Managers in Southern California

Commercial property signage Southern California projects usually start with a simple challenge: your property may be active, but it doesn’t always feel easy to navigate or visually consistent. Tenants might be visible, but visitors still hesitate at entry points or miss key locations.

Across Irvine office districts, Anaheim retail corridors, Riverside business parks, Santa Ana commercial streets, Costa Mesa centers, and Corona developments, signage often becomes part of how smoothly your property actually operates day to day.

In most multi-tenant properties we evaluate, confusion typically happens within the first 30–60 seconds of arrival—usually at entry points, parking transitions, or tenant identification zones. This is where structured signage planning makes the biggest operational difference.
