Your business’s new LED sign has done a wonderful job of alerting consumers to your store location or your latest sale but now must face the cold. Winter can inflict serious damage to them without the right care, causing burned-out bulbs and possible cracks. But with the following tips, you can help your advertising to shine on.

Do:

Place it in a protected area.

Keep your sign under an awning or your eaves. Not only will this help shield it from moisture in the form of rain and snow, but also keep UV rays from causing fading. Additionally, consider where the wind blows in your area and face the LED sign away, if possible to limit exposure to the elements even more.

Maintain a sealed enclosure around it.

Add a sealed enclosure to your sign for additional protection from winter weather. Talk to your sign company about which options works best to protect electronic components from snow, rain, hail, ice, and UV rays.

Don’t:

Work with the wrong company.

Work a reputable sign company known for quality products. They have all of the right tools and equipment to install LED signs and other outdoor signage correctly to keep them safe from the elements. The right company also offers repair and replacement services to help you maintain your business’s reputation.

Forget to check the sign periodically.

Perform your own inspections throughout the winter so any issues do not have time to worsen. Look for flickering lights, silicone coating disintegration on the front and back, loss of silicone rubber gaskets on the module panels, and anything else that’s amiss so you can schedule timely repairs.
