Most of our lightbox signage is illuminated with eco-friendly LED lighting. We can still provide florescent but it's not the best option and here's why. Why use LED lights over fluorescent lights, well there are many points that make the LED bulb better. Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury and use 8 watts per foot. They are constructed with glass materials and are very fragile. On the other hand, LED bulbs contain NO mercury, and are more energy-efficient, using 2-4 watts per foot.
LED lights are rubberized, making them more durable. LED lights last longer than fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. For example, a 12.5 watt LED bulb lasts 25,000 hours on average, a 15-watt fluorescent bulb lasts only 8,500 hours. An incandescent light lasts even less, with a 60-watt bulb lasting only 1,000 hours. This means that an LED light can replace up to three fluorescent bulbs and up to twenty-five incandescent bulbs, saving time and money.
