As the name suggests, illuminated signs are the brightened up signages that commercial stores use to attract customers. From the industrial buildings of multinational companies to storefronts, both small and large malls use this kind of signs so that even when the night comes and the buildings are closed for public, anyone can see the brand name glowing distinctively. Be it the flashing fairy lights framing the store name sign or the LEDs of different colours giving a backlit effect to the letters, graphics and imagery –you can choose any type of signages according to the brand you represent and your budget.
The backlit signs are popular, thanks to the internal lighting behind the signs that make any wire, fixture, strobe or spot invisible from external look. Also called lightbox signage, these add a subtle glow to the storefront and building facade.
