Why National LED Day Matters for Commercial Signage
Observing National LED Day provides the perfect opportunity for business owners to evaluate the performance and environmental impact of their storefront displays. Traditional neon and fluorescent lighting systems consume higher levels of energy and require frequent maintenance.
In contrast, modern LED illumination delivers crisp, uniform illumination while consuming up to 80% less power, making it an essential upgrade for modern commercial properties.
Energy Savings and Environmental Impact
In recognition of an important scientific achievement, certainly for our industry, National LED light day celebrates the achievements of Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura who received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the development of blue light-emitting diodes on this day in 2014.
Upgrading your corporate branding in honour of National LED Day delivers immediate cost and sustainability benefits. Operating from our manufacturing facilities in Leeds and St Helens, our design teams craft custom illuminated flex-face boxes, halo-lit channel lettering, and ultra-slim lightboxes equipped with long-life LED modules.
Beyond reduced electricity bills, LED illumination generates far less heat and operates on low-voltage circuits, reducing fire risks and operational wear.
At Widd we have been using LED lights for many years. Shifting from traditional Neon lights in our signage solutions whilst supporting our clients to do the same, we have improved not only efficiency and lifespan of lit architectural and branded signs, but also reduced carbon footprint.
Sustainable Fabrication and Operational Governance
We have a team of lighting experts here at Widd Signs, working not only on traditional internal and external brand signage and communications but bringing
We bring to life bespoke, one of kind visual displays such as this multi-million-euro flagship Barcelona Store , which sits at the heart of the famous Las Ramblas boulevard. This particular project featured 5,000 LEDs, individually wired using some 60,000 metres of cabling and driven by a 4 channel DMX system to randomly illuminate the LED’s resulting in a truly unique and eye catching feature.
We continually review our lighting products and with an average annual usage of 160,000 a year, we know a thing or two about sourcing the best products for the job.
Our LED’s are of the highest quality and efficacy, we order bespoke custom colours for our clients whilst ensuring they are optimum in terms of energy usage and safe recycling.
