Neon LED signage is an outstanding marketing tool that improves your brick-and-mortar establishment’s visibility and competitive edge. Unlike old school lighted signs made from potentially dangerous incandescent bulbs or gas tubes, these come with light-emitting diodes with a more vibrant illumination than their counterparts. At the same time, LED signs are known to have a longer lifespan while consuming less electricity, saving you more money in the long run.
If you are ready to invest in high-quality LED signs, Baltimore Signsmiths is here to meet your needs.
Signs are prepared in a two-step process: first, the housing is prepared, after which the lighting can be installed. The sign housing can be made of metal, acrylic, or other materials. Once the housing is made, we install LED lighting strips in the sign, holding it down using fasteners.
Traditional neon signs are made of thin glass tubes filled with gas, such as argon, xenon, or krypton. The tubes are fragile and the gases are expensive. You can achieve the same effect much more safely and cost-effectively with LED neon signs.
LED signs can be made of a wide range of materials and use thin LED lighting strips for illumination. They are much more energy-efficient and don’t pose fire hazards either!
LED signs have three elements: sign housing, transparent acrylic sheets, and LED lighting.
Not all LED signs are made the same. You want to work with a reputed sign company that only uses top-quality materials like Baltimore Signsmiths.
That depends on the type of sign you have installed. If yours is a simple LED-lighted sign, you can use a switch to light up your sign. Matrix display signs come with a controller that lets you change the message quickly. More advanced LED displays are computer-programmable, allowing you to display photos and videos. Needless to say, all LED signs need electricity to operate.
Absolutely! An LED neon sign has a much lower total cost of ownership compared to a traditional neon sign. You won’t just save on the upfront cost; you’ll enjoy much smaller energy bills across the lifespan of the sign. LEDs can operate 24/7 for over 30,000 hours (or 3.5 years) before needing to be replaced.
An LED converts electricity to illumination very efficiently (easily four times more efficient than traditional bulbs). LEDs come in several types: some have changeable colors, while others can only display a single color. They are dimmable, too, so you can change the intensity of your sign throughout the day.
The right signage has the potential to promote your business and get potential buyers through the door. A FedEx survey found nearly 8 out of 10 people in America visit stores because of eye-catching signage. To maximize advertising potential and value, speak to an experienced signage professional.

Electronic signs can start from as little as $150 for a simple LED-lighted ‘Open’ sign for the window to over $10,000 for large format video walls outdoors. The price of an electronic sign depends heavily on its size and functionality. Tell us about your needs to find the most cost-effective signs for your business.
There’s no competition; LED signs can be far brighter than neon signs! That said, LED signs aren’t a one-trick pony: you can alter the brightness of your LED sign on-the-fly, which you can’t with neon. You can change the color of the sign, too, instead of being stuck with the same color for years.
The cost of LED billboards depends on the type of billboard you’re looking to install (static, photo, video wall) and its size. Billboards can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $150,000 depending on their size and features, with installation costs and monthly rental charges extra. Baltimore Signsmiths does not make billboards.
