Point of Purchase<br />

In an environment where manufacturers are trying to<br />

differentiate themselves, a point of purchase sign is a<br />

great way to highlight products, draw attention and<br />

drive sales. In almost any retail establishment these<br />

signs are abundant, and can be found in various<br />

sizes, shapes and styles. Point of purchase signs<br />

most often utilize some <strong>for</strong>m of back lighting, but<br />

occasionally utilize other <strong>for</strong>ms of illumination.<br />

Edge Lit<br />

Border Lighting<br />

Edge lit signs are made of a translucent material which is<br />

illuminated by a light source placed adjacent to one or more of<br />

the edges of the sign. The light travels through the sign material<br />

and the sign lights up as the light escapes from the front, back,<br />

and sides. Edge lit signs can employ the use of colored vinyl and<br />

graphics, or can be translucent or clear with the sign message<br />

engraved in the sign material, which shines as the light is<br />

scattered when it strikes the engraving from the inside of the<br />

material.<br />

LED SYSTEMS FOR SIGNAGE<br />

Long, linear runs of acrylic-faced channels are often used as<br />

an architectural enhancement <strong>for</strong> many different types of<br />

border lighting. Border lighting is usually colored and typically<br />

back lit by neon, fluorescent, or LED light sources. The width<br />

and depth of the channel can vary greatly. Some border<br />

lighting use only neon tubing without being enclosed in a<br />

channel, exposed directly to the surrounding environment.<br />
