LED-powered projecting signs engineered for maximum street-level visibility. UL 48 listed, built to order, and shipped in three weeks or less.
Why Illuminated Blade Signs Drive Foot Traffic
Illuminated blade signs are one of the most effective tools for capturing pedestrian and vehicular attention in dense commercial corridors. Unlike flat wall-mounted signage, a projecting blade sign extends perpendicular to the building facade, making your client's brand visible from both directions of foot traffic. When you add internal LED illumination, that visibility extends well into evening hours — a critical advantage for restaurants, bars, boutiques, and hotels.
At Sunlite Signs, every illuminated blade sign we manufacture is engineered in-house with German precision. Our LED modules are selected for longevity and color consistency, delivering 50,000+ hours of rated life with minimal lumen depreciation. Because we sell exclusively to the sign trade, you get wholesale pricing without the markup — and your clients get a premium product that performs year after year.
Our illuminated blade signs feature fully welded aluminum housings, high-output Samsung or Nichia LEDs, and UL 48 certification for electrical safety compliance. Whether your client needs a simple rectangular projecting sign or a custom-shaped blade with dimensional lettering, our engineering team will work with you from concept through production.
Engineering & Construction Details
Every Sunlite illuminated blade sign starts with a precision-welded aluminum cabinet that resists corrosion and keeps weight manageable for wall-mount installations. We offer single-face and double-face configurations, with push-through acrylic faces, routed aluminum with backer panel illumination, or full flex-face options depending on the design.
- LED System: High-efficiency modules rated at 160+ lumens per watt, available in 6500K, 5000K, or custom color temperatures
- Power Supply: UL-recognized Mean Well drivers, accessible from a bottom or rear service panel
- Mounting: Heavy-gauge steel mounting brackets engineered for wind-load compliance, with concealed conduit routing
- Finish: Automotive-grade polyurethane paint in any custom PMS or RAL color
All illuminated blade signs ship fully assembled and tested. We include wiring diagrams, mounting templates, and hardware so your install crew can get the sign on the wall efficiently. Our standard lead time is three weeks from approved artwork, with rush options available for time-sensitive projects.
Applications & Custom Options
Illuminated blade signs are versatile enough for nearly any commercial application. Restaurant owners love them because they announce the brand from a block away. Retail shops in walkable districts rely on projecting signs to stand out among neighboring storefronts. Hotels and boutique lodging use illuminated blades to create an upscale arrival experience after dark.
Sunlite Signs offers a range of customization options to help you deliver exactly what your client envisions:
- Custom shapes — arched, circular, shield, or fully bespoke silhouettes
- Dimensional push-through lettering for added depth
- RGB or tunable-white LED systems for dynamic color-changing effects
- Integrated gooseneck or arm-mount lighting for a vintage aesthetic
Because we manufacture everything under one roof, we maintain tight quality control across every step — from CNC routing and welding to painting and LED installation. That means fewer headaches for your shop and a finished product that reflects the quality your clients expect.
