LED Billboard Lighting

What Are Billboard LED Lights?

LED billboard lights are high-intensity light fixtures that illuminate billboards using the most recent lighting technology- light-emitting diode (LED) technology. They provide uniform lighting around the billboard, making it easy for passersby to read the advertisement and see the images on the billboard.

Moreover, our LED lights are versatile and come in different colors, making them more attractive and suitable lighting in billboards.

Applications of Billboard Lighting Fixtures

Billboard LED lights are used in various areas to provide adequate lighting. Also, they make the signage or advertisement visible. Below are some of the application areas you need to know.

• Big and small billboards. If you look at the billboards on the roadsides, you will notice that their sizes are different. Our LED lights come in different sizes and wattages, making them the best lighting source for small and big billboards.
• Building name signs. Locating a building with a name sign is way easier than one without. LED lights are used to illuminate the building name signs making the names visible even at night.
• Entrance signs. Another application area for the LED lights is on the entrance and exit signs. This is particularly so on large buildings where one can quickly get confused about the entrance and exit doors.

You can install our LED billboard LED lights in any signage that people need to see from a distance.

Different Types of Light Sources

There are different types of light sources, which include LED lights and traditional light sources. Below are examples of common light sources;

1. High-intensity Discharge. Metal halide and high-pressure sodium lights are examples of High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. The amber-orange light from the high-pressure sodium lamps appears to be yellow. These lights provide good illumination, but LEDs are way better compared to them in so many ways.
2. Incandescent lamps. These light fixtures have been used for the longest time but are now being overtaken by LEDs. An excellent example of an incandescent lamp is a halogen lamp.

Halogen lamps use so much electricity to produce light hence making them less energy efficient compared to LEDs.

3. Fluorescent lighting. Compared to incandescent lamps, fluorescent lighting is more energy-efficient. However, their energy efficiency does not surpass the LEDs that are about 30% more energy efficient.
4. LED lights. The energy efficiency of LED lights is unmatched. They produce a variety of color temperatures for you to choose one that meets your needs. Our LED lights can serve you for up to 100,000 hours. Additionally, you will not have to worry about regular maintenance costs when you install our LED lights.

Factors to Consider Before Buying LED Billboard Lights

When purchasing LED lights to install around your billboard, it is vital to consider a few factors. Here are some of them;

• Luminosity– One of the most critical factors you need to look into is the luminous efficiency of the LED billboard lights. Our LED billboard lights have a luminous efficiency of about 130lm/W- 140lm/W. This, in turn, means that the billboard will be well lit, making it hard not to notice it even from afar.
• Wattage– You will most definitely have to consider the brightness of the LED lights before making your purchase. The bulb wattage you choose should be able to provide adequate lighting to the billboard.

A higher wattage bulb provides more brightness compared to a lower wattage bulb. You can find bulb wattages from 10W to 300W.

• Beam angle– For uniform lighting around the billboard, you will need to consider the beam angles of the lights.

When installing the lights, you will need to have some on the top, sides, and the bottom of the billboard. This, in turn, means that for the lighting around the billboard to be uniform, you need to get the beam angles right.

Wide-beam symmetrical light distribution lamps should be used for short-distance advertising projection lighting due to their large beam angle and high luminous efficiency. On the other hand, narrow beam lamps should be used for long-distance, ultra-high billboards.

• Color temperature– The color temperature of the LED lights play a significant role in the overall lighting around the billboard. The LED lights you select should have a color temperature of about 5000K-5500K, producing bright white light.
• Finishing– A billboard should be attractive, and so are the lights that provide illumination around it. When you factor in the lights’ finishing and a good billboard advert, you will have the whole package.

To capture everyone’s attention, it is necessary to also focus on finishing the billboard LED lights. The LED lights and accessories should match the billboard and improve the aesthetics, making the advert worth a deeper look.

• Controls– You might not need as much light from the LEDs during the day compared to the nighttime. Therefore, choosing LED lights with controls would be a good investment as the lights can dim during the daytime and be on full brightness during the night.
• Installation-What will the total cost of installation be? And how is the installation process? When choosing the LED billboard lights, we recommend the LED lights that are not too heavy.

Also, you will need to look at the best type of mounting that will be fit for the LED lights you select. The amount you choose should be able to hold the light fixture in place.

2. Determine the exact number of LED lights required. The number of LED lights used on the billboard will depend on the brightness of the light, spacing, beam angles, etc. The ideal billboard light has a lumen per watt of 140 LM/W.
3. Get the spacing right. If you want to get uniform lighting around the billboard, the lights should be well spaced. They should not be close together or too far apart.
4. Start the installation process. Finally, the last step is to start the installation process. Here our technicians will follow the plan and install the fixtures in the correct position.

After installing the lights, they will have to be tested to see if they are working efficiently, and if any adjustment needs to be done, it can be done there and then.

Types of LED mounts

There are many mount options that you can choose depending on where you want the LEDs installed, the size of LED lights, and the angle you intend to put the lights at. Some of the standards LED mounts to include arm mounts, slip fitters, trunnion mounts, knuckle mounts, and shorting caps.

• Slip fitter mount. The slip fitter mounts are one of the most common mounts used on billboards. They are attached using screws to secure them well. You can tilt your lights to the desired position depending on the angle of setting. Also, this mount allows rotation of the light from right to left and vice versa; 90-180 degrees in its angle.
• Trunnion mount. It is also known as the yoke mount. With this mount, you’ll enjoy a full tilt of motion. The mount offers side adjustment knobs that allow you to tilt the lights to the best angle. Generally, it is a more versatile mounting option due to its full tilt range of motion and can be used in different applications.
• Knuckle mount. Another common type of mount used in billboards is the knuckle mount. The knuckle mount is solid and can support even the heavy LED lights. It is also adjustable and allows you to move the light upwards or downwards.
