Making LED signs in the USA

[AnthonyRalano]

I am interested in making some LED signs. I am in the USA. Are there regulations that I have to comply with. There is a link that has images for the style I would like to make.

I have no idea if this is profitable or not because of the time it would take to build and what people would be willing to pay. As a hobby, this would be fun to do anyway.
But just wondering if you need permitting for this type of thing?

Yes most likely needs to be UL for local codes!

Just because a sign has UL parts doesn't mean it's a UL approved sign! Most parts used in any electrical sign is UL approved but you are still required to have the sign enclosure/assembly UL approved.

I would not want to be the one that made/installed a non UL approved sign and the building have a fire.

Agreed. I may just make one for a hobby, but I agree, it is not worth it to have the liability. Thank you for the responses.
