  10. LED based 'flourescent' tubes

    I wouldn't expect them to be 100% as bright ... as it doesn't light up in all directions and as a result gives ambient light to the sign face. The real problem in this area ... it is well over 100 degrees here during the day ... and I've seen sign faces pop and shatter from having the inside...

    I hate truck washes ... I have seen them acid eat brand new metallic vinyl to the point where only thing left was adhesive and the acid reacted with the adhesive to discolor the paint underneath. Tell the driver if he wants to go through truck washes with acid to try not to go through to high a...
