  6. Lighted Cabinet

    Depends on your location. Not all cities require a Listed Sign be it MET/UL/ETL, but the NEC does call out for listed components. If you have a polycarbonate face then you don't even need raceways, your electrical can dangle, and that's probably the best scenario for electronic ballasts...
  7. electrical sign cabinet question

    Looking at the state you're in you'll probably want to use bumpers, or use a hanging bar that's mechanically fastened to the top, and maybe a few on the sides and bottom concealed by the retainers. Drill the holes of the substrate larger than the fastners to leave some room for expansion and...

  9. Neon white

    In either case, it won't be a match depending on how old the sign was because of the lumen maintenance over time. Be aware some tube bender won't just weld on new glass to the old because a lot of tube benders don't want to mess with the process of washing and cleaning out the glass before...

  14. Looking for Fluorescent to LED retrofit bulbs

    That's interesting. When you say brighter, do you mean when you look at the light source/fixture it is brighter? Or is the usable light brighter, i.e. table tops and surrounding (8' out side to side) light being thrown from the lamp in comparison to T8 & T12's? You should grab yourself a...
  15. Sign Cabinet LED Retrofit

  20. Irritating electrical sign....any thoughts

    If you have already replaced the lamps and ballast and the bulbs are going first it sounds like you have a primary issue. Is this sign on a dedicated circuit? If not then you nee to find out what's sharing the circuit and what the circuit is when it's fully loaded. Anything short of what's...
