Frequently Asked Questions

How long do LED signs last?

Quality LED modules used in modern commercial signs are rated for 50,000+ hours — roughly 11 years of continuous use. In practice, LED signs typically last 7–15 years before modules need replacement. LED technology uses 50–70% less energy than older fluorescent or neon systems.

Can you convert my old neon sign to LED?

Yes — Anaheim Signs specializes in neon-to-LED and fluorescent-to-LED retrofits. In most cases, we can upgrade the internal lighting of your existing sign without replacing the entire cabinet or structure, saving money while improving brightness and reducing energy costs.

Are LED retrofits eligible for utility rebates?

Many SoCal utility companies — including SCE and LADWP — offer rebates for commercial LED upgrades. The rebate amount depends on the wattage reduction achieved. We can help you identify available programs and calculate potential savings.

Does an LED retrofit require a permit?

A simple LED lamp replacement inside an existing cabinet may not require a permit, but any changes to wiring, transformers, or sign structure typically do. As a licensed electrical sign contractor, we assess each job and pull the required permits when needed.

How much brighter are LED signs compared to neon or fluorescent?

Modern LED modules are significantly brighter than neon at equivalent power consumption, and provide more uniform illumination than aging fluorescent tubes. LED signs are also more consistent — they maintain brightness over time rather than degrading gradually like neon and fluorescent.

Are LED electronic message centers (EMCs) legal in all Orange County cities?

No — EMC regulations vary by city. Many Orange County cities limit message dwell time (typically 6–10 seconds minimum), restrict animation and video content, and may require conditional use permits for new digital signs. We verify your city's EMC ordinance before recommending any programmable LED component.
