With each passing day, the LED technology becomes the main source of lighting. This is largely due to its high efficiency, long life span and the fact that it does not produce much residual heat compared to the solutions now called “traditional”.

Despite these advantages, most commercial products can also face some problems. And it is important to be aware of these before purchasing an LED sign for your business.

Apparently, one of the most important benefits of LEDs is the “light quality” they are able to provide, i.e. a continuous spectrum in the field of visible wavelengths. Unfortunately, not all LEDs are built to produce a continuous spectrum – especially the cheap ones or the ones that produce “cold light” (>5000K). In order to avoid this issue, make sure that the LED sign you purchase is based on LEDs that have a wide, continuous spectrum, similar to incandescent or halogen lamps.

The use of low quality chips is another common issue. Compared to all other light sources, LEDs have a long lifespan. 50,000 h are usually mentioned, but many commercial LEDs fail to achieve this performance due to poor quality chips. They develop micro-cracks, leading to an accelerated decrease in light flux. Many LED lights will produce only 70% of the value initially declared, after only 6,000 – 10,000 hours.  So when you are looking for Denver LED sign conversion find someone like Colorado Sign to do a quality job using quality LED lighting.
