Members and guests find the Bethel Assembly at 503 West North Avenue. Helping attendees to grow into God’s purpose, the church’s motto is to “Seek. Love. Serve.” When a committee member contacted Vital Signs USA, it was to discuss a cabinet sign refurbishing in Elmhurst. As we learned more about the project, it became clear that this marker would be an excellent candidate for our budget-friendly LED retrofits.
Cabinet Sign Makeover
The old setup featured the church’s name and an outdated logo. Lighting was costing quite a bit of money. Since this is a double-sided cabinet that addresses people coming from both directions, the costs had been steadily rising. After a rebranding, it was clear that the sign needed revamping with cost-saving LED retrofits.
We worked with the committee to find a contemporary presentation of the church’s message. We did away with the dark brown color and the old logo. Instead, we emphasized the new logo, the church’s name, and added the tagline of the faith community. To the right, we kept the display space but introduced larger lettering. Next, we exchanged the old light sources with modern LEDs.
Why a Cabinet Refurbishing Can Save You Money
The Bethel Assembly now succeeds in presenting a contemporary appearance that is more in tune with its attendees. It also continues to invite passersby to services. That said, the church can do so without spending a fortune on the lighting. Retrofitting a sign with LEDs is a great money saver and offers additional advantages.
- Inexpensive panel replacements. Replacing the panel of a cabinet sign is inexpensive. We can imprint the polycarbonate or acrylic directly or apply a vinyl overlay. When the cabinet is still in good repair, there is no need to replace an entire sign.
- Lower maintenance costs. Routine maintenance of a sign is always a good idea. However, when your cabinet features fluorescent bulbs or outmoded neon lights, you probably need service far more frequently. Some clients reported needing fluorescent bulb service as often as two or three times a year.
- Bright in cold weather. Extreme temperatures change the way your signage lights up. Cold, in particular, adversely affects neon lights. LEDs, on the other hand, do not experience this problem. They work the same in heat or cold. Stand out with your sign when around you other signs flicker or just cannot keep up. You do not need additional illumination.
