Old-fashioned illuminated signs – think Times Square or Piccadilly Circus in the 1980s – were huge, cumbersome, and expensive installations. These signs required a large supporting infrastructure of electrical wiring and mountings, used a lot of electricity, and produced a lot of waste heat. They were costly to run and, in environmental terms, were extremely wasteful.

Since the advent of affordable and sustainable LEDs, however, the potential for genuinely energy-efficient illuminated signs has increased. Modern signs use a tiny fraction of the energy of their older counterparts and, thanks to the ease and convenience of LED lighting design, have a greater potential for design flexibility. Moreover, LED lighting arrays provide high quality illumination for tens of thousands of hours, needing little maintenance once installed.

Our modern illuminated signs are strong and lightweight, fashioned from durable materials such as acrylic, vinyl and stainless steel. This makes our signs easier to position and install in a wider variety of locations, with heavy duty brackets, welds, and bolts replaced by tape, specialist glue, and lightweight fittings.

With a commitment to sustainable materials, paints, and design practices, every illuminated sign we create at Image is imbued with the spirit of environmental responsibility and sustainable upkeep.
