Will LED Lighting Overtake All Lighting Types?

In the past several years LED technology seems to have taken over the sign and lighting industries. And in most cases, that is completely true. The advantages of LED lightings and the improvements are undeniable. We see LED lighting becoming the choice of parking lots, roadways, automobiles, retail stores, office settings, all types of electronics, performing arts venues, households, and signage.

So, the question everyone seems to be wondering is, will LED lighting overtake all types of lighting that currently exists? Our experience the past few years seems to indicate that yes, this is inevitable and LED lighting continues to evolve. At some point in the future LED will expand to such a point, that it will be the only type of lighting available. Or at least to such an extent, that other types of lighting will be very hard to find. And as demand for “older” types of lighting decrease, the cost for these will increase. It’s simple supply and demand.

In the sign lighting business LED has totally replaced florescent lighting for new product, and retrofits and conversions from florescent to LED continue to become more popular as cost for LED products decrease in cost and the cost and of florescent lamps and ballasts increase as their availability decrease.

LED has also made so significant inroads to replacing neon in some applications. Back thirty years ago neon made a spectacular resurgence. The nostalgic and unique look of neon along with the variety of color options available could not be matched. Let’s face it, neon was, and is cool. However, as LED replacement products for neon continue to be perfected, the demand for neon also continues to decrease. Making neon and the related parts required to manufacture more expensive and less obtainable.

As these “older” lighting options become harder to find and the maintenance parts become less available, PartsForSigns.com will continue to be your source for these parts at the most competitive prices.

Are domestic LED products better than LEDs imported from Southeast Asia

Are domestic LED products better than LED's imported from Southeast Asia?

When it comes to buying LED products, the reigning debate for many sign companies, electricians, and business owners is: Are domestic products better than SE Asian products? At partsforsigns.com, we have made the decision to offer both, but the choice between the two is up to you. It is important that you make that choice, because ultimately it is your sign on the line.
With that in mind, there are a few things that you should know as you make your decision.

Quality

First, we believe in the products we sell on PartsforSigns.com. Both are good products or we wouldn’t offer them. Your choice is not between a good product and a bad product but a debate about which one is better between the two good products.
Most importantly, you should know that most of the power supplies and LED’s themselves come from China. Just like your cell phone and computer, the individual sign parts you buy were probably manufactured in China (even if they were assembled in the United States). So, think about the quality of your mobile phone and computer? Have they functioned reasonably well for you? Your sign parts are ultimately coming from the same part of the world.
Here’s how it works: The domestic suppliers buy same place the as the imports (China). It has been years since the LEDs were manufactured in the United States. Ultimately, you are buying implements made in China either way. The question is whether or not they were distributed through a domestic company.

Pricing

Chinese pricing has traditionally been lower than domestic pricing. However, domestic suppliers have brought down their prices to compete with the prices of the Southeast Asian Suppliers. Price is not the factor it used to be when buying LED.
