Who Said Your Neighborhood Gas Pumper Service Station And C-Store Can’t Go Green With Retro-Fit Signage -Too?
Well they are…
And here’s how
As you may see from the photo on this months release, this local service station ordered up a complete canopy retro fit to be more proactive and to do it’s part in conserving our natural resources.
And if you look closely at the pic above you’ll see the exposed aluminum, recessed, over-head canopy sign cabinet is now lined with LED string lighting.
Which means, the cost to illuminate this canopy and the canopy graphics will be cut by over 60%, if not more.
And not only that, this type of retro fit will require less maintenance and service over time.
Which means less trip charges (fuel emissions) and less lighting replacement change outs.
After all, not long ago, many aluminum sign cabinets like these were reverse lit using florescent tube lighting.
Lighting which would require a lot more maintenance, especially if you wanted your sign graphics to shine bright all night, without dark areas where florescent tubes (sticks) would burn out.
Or worse, older service station c-store signage was lit using custom shaped neon tubing.
And there was nothing worse than seeing burned out cabinets and letters at night, well, expect for flickering ones, right?
My gosh -huh…
But now, if your local gas pumper goes full-retro fit on all their signage, you’ll know because you will not see dark letters or those flickering ones at night.
All will be bright and looking good.
At the same time this service station went with recyclable aluminum structural panels and graphic face skins to help the brand become more Eco-friendly.
Which means, in 20-25 years, when it’s time for another complete over-hall, or another new service station canopy, or canopy sign change outs to what ever cool new sign tech material is invented by then? Most of the structure and signage will easily be recyclable.
Which means, everybody’s happy, right?
The c-store owner saves tons of money on their power bill while enjoying bright, killer looking, visuals with an aesthetic appeal. Where their LED sign lighting is shining bright all night long, which makes the entire service station look more professional and inviting -in more ways than one.
For example, imagine if you’re working the late shift.
And when you get off work you want to fuel-up and grab a quick snack on the way home.
Wouldn’t it be cool to coast into a well lit gas pumper in the dead of night?
Where all the service station signage, and over head lighting, and store front, and interior are all well lit.
Well, that’s what an investment in a Eco-friendly, retro-fit, service station will do for you. Especially with all the brightly lit LED illuminated signage and store front graphics and interior -wouldn’t you agree?
Heck, locals and customers will probably flock to your location… because you look so damn good.
Whereas, maybe the c-store, which is down the block, maybe dim lit, have dark signage or flicker lights, that scare em’ all away?
After all, which gas pumper would you visit in the middle of the night?
But it’s more than that, right?
Because now, conserving resources in Southern Nevada helps the entire community.
Plus as c-stores canopy tech evolves… image having an array of lightweight solar panels line the tops of these canopy’s. Solar panels which are hidden from view?
Yet these hidden panels now power over 80% of the locations power demands? (wow).
Thus power consumption will be at a bare minimum, if any at all? And most of the people fueling up will not even know overhead solar energy is what is causing their pumps, and all of it, to work…
And you could be cleaver and have small signs saying “solar power is fueling your vehicle here”
After all, Las Vegas is soaking in the sun nearly 300 plus days a year.
And with that kind of sunlight at our disposal, then why not go all in on your retro fit signage and lighting too?
And look into a new overhead gas pumper canopy -all LED lit with a hidden solar array panel system -as the power source.
Plus, down the road, as tech evolves, the fuel here may all be powered by the sun…
How about that, huh?
And as electrical signage tech continues to advance we’ll be sure to let you know -right here.
