LED Signs Save Up to 90% in Energy Costs
Signal-Tech LED signs cost 90% less to operate because they consume less energy than similarly sized neon and incandescent units. In addition to using less electricity, LED signs are better for the environment because their CO¬2 emissions are lower than other light sources.
Energy Cost Comparison
Signal-Tech compared the energy costs for operating a LED, neon and incandescent OPEN|CLOSED sign as well as a LED and incandescent Red| Green signal. The results were impressive.
Open|Closed Sign Energy Cost Comparison
Signal-Tech’s #5887 OPEN|CLOSED sign outperformed equivalently sized neon and incandescent models. Only $4.20 annually to operate one sign, annual savings of $140 per sign.
Calculations are based on $0.12 per kilowatt-hour (the US national average) and 24/7 usage for a period of one year.
Red|Green Signal Energy Cost Comparison
Signal-Tech’s #42024 LED Traffic Controller used significantly less energy than units with incandescent bulbs resulting in a much lower annual operating cost. Annual savings of $50 per signal.
Calculations are based on $0.12 per kilowatt-hour (the US national average) and 24/7 usage for a period of one year.
Quality and Reliability
At Signal-Tech, we manufacturer our products using green engineering techniques. We use the highest quality LEDs and run them at lower milliamps. This keeps their operating temperatures lower than most competitive signs while extending the LED life expectancy and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, our LEDs are made with special epoxy that protects the LEDs in extreme weather conditions, which also improves their performance and life expectancy.
