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 />
