subject: Your Unnoticed Restaurant Every Single Day [print this page] What are the features that you want in your LED sign? Electronic LED's are available in different color variations, pixel sizes, and pitch. All of these features dictate how well it can be seen from a distance and from different viewing angles. An LED has a clean digital look to it. You can animate your sign with moving images that capture extra attention. You can have your sign crawl, that is to have the message move from left to right, right to left or up and down. You can even add extra effects to your LED message. The choices are endless when creating the right sign for your business. If you are right off a main highway and want your sign to be seen from both directions of the highway, you want to keep this in mind when choosing your sign sign boards. Tighter spacing or pitch will help make your sign easier to read and it will look more detailed, but this will also cost a little more as well. Neon signs have been around for a hundred years, and they are now iconic signs of pubs, restaurants and bars everywhere. You will see them used in clubs, portrayed in movies and present in the background among many Hollywood magazines. They are flexible and can portray any form of text and even moving images, such as the famous Las Vegas cowboy. Some even come programmed with music. Interestingly enough, neon lights actually have one of the most unusual mechanisms in the world of light. The beginnings of neon signs are highly disputed among historians, but we can pinpoint its origins to as early as the 1800s. They began as exhibit displays in French and American scientific and international fairs, such as the Paris Expo. The Eiffel Tower itself was presented in a similar expo. Eventually, neon signs came to be sold in the market as advertising tools for gas stations and restaurants. Today, they are not only used for this purpose but have come to be loved as home bar decorations and as novelty items. From here, a high-force vacuum sucks all air inside of it until it reaches an almost air-less state. The electrodes then produce the currents to make the light illuminate. The glass tubes are filled with gases that react to this force. The gases can be not just neon but also argon, mercury, krypton, helium and xenon. Each gas will show its own bright color. Look at neon pub signs and you might notice these differences.
