The design team at Signedge were the original pioneers of Edgelighting, the illumination technology that is becoming globally accepted as the superior medium for sign illumination, as well as display, architectural and lighting applications. The Signedge technology remains at the forefront of Edgelighting with many exciting innovations and products incorporating the technology.

Until the introduction of Edgelighting, sign were relied on backlighting, simply setting lamps in a hollow box behind the visual that was to be illuminated. Edgelighting is achieved by casting light into a treated acrylic panel, which allows the light to reflect and refract within the panel, dispersing outwards through the panel face in such a way it provides bright even illumination across the entire panel face.

Signedge Edgelighting delivers SEVEN distinct advantages over backlighting in the illumination of signs to demonstrate why Signedge is fast becoming recognised as a world leader in illuminated sign manufacture....

1. BRIGHT, EVEN ILLUMINATION.
Signedge delivers vibrant graphic reproduction as it provides illumination without the light and dark bands that are apparent in backlighting (caused by setting lamps directly behind the graphic image), which impairs the visual impact of the graphics on the sign face.
You go to all that expense to get the graphics right, why settle for an inferior medium to display them on!

2. EXTREMELY THIN PROFILES.
As Signedge is illuminated from the side, the light housing is only as wide as the ballasts needed to drive the fluorescent lamps. This allows signs featuring elegant and sophisticated profiles that compliment rather than intrude into their surrounds.
You want to see the graphics, not the ugly metal box that supports them!

3. SUBSTANTIAL ENERGY SAVINGS.
In most instances, the Signedge technology requires fewer lamps in comparison to backlighting to illuminate the same area. THIS LEADS TO A SIGNIFICANT SAVING ON POWER COSTS - UP TO 80% SAVING, which can more than pay for the cost of the Signedge sign itself over the life of the sign.
Plan for the future with electricity costs set to soar!

4. SIMPLE GRAPHIC INTERCHANGE.
Every Signedge product has been designed to provide a simple means of securing and interchanging the graphic images. Making sure that the graphics are only as accessible as you want them to be.
You determine who you want to access the graphics and who you don't!

5. ROBUST CONSTRUCTION.
Unlike conventional illuminated signs, which are virtually hollow metal boxes, Signedge is framed by the housing which contains the lamps, which is engineered to encase the virtually unbreakable Signedge panel to produce signs that can withstand all but the most extreme cases of vandalism.
A sign that can stand up to some of the damage handed out by vandals!

6. GRAPHICS FRIENDLY.
With no heat generated across the face of Signedge, any translucent graphic medium - duratrans, transparency, paper poster, screenprints, vinyl lettering, photographs, inkjet prints, lenticulars etc. - can be illuminated without heat damage, shrinkage or warping that occurs with backlit signs.
You pay a lot for graphics, make sure your investment is protected!

7. EASY MAINTENANCE.
As the light housing is set along the edge of the sign, the lamps and electrical components are easy to access, which makes maintenance very simple, while the other sign components are virtually maintenance-free.
Make sure your signs are ready to go the distance.

SEVEN IMPORTANT REASONS WHY ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS AND SPECIFIERS CAN RELY ON SIGNEDGE TECHNOLOGY TO DELIVER INNOVATIVE AND EFFECTIVE ILLUMINATED SIGN APPLICATIONS, FREE OF THE PROBLEMS AND INADEQUACIES INHERENT IN BACKLIT SIGNAGE.
