This ship-in drop ship electrical sign for large Hotel chain in Las Vegas gets installed using paper pattern on back wall
Hi Larry here with this months news and useful information for Signs West Outdoor of Las Vegas.
Not everyone may know which Las Vegas sign company is the right choice for getting electrical business signs from.
Therefore, this month lets take a look at what to look for when seeking out the right Las Vegas electrical sign company to get your job done and done right.
One maybe doing one of the following and looking for electrical signs in Las Vegas:
- Starting a new business
- Expanding an existing business
- Re-branding a Corporate logo and colors
- Leasing a new commercial space
- Changing out an existing old electrical sign
- Looking to drop ship or ship-in signs and requesting a sign site survey
- Install electrical signs only
The list goes on.

So if we assume you already know the local sign codes which allow for the maximum size, styles and requirements then it boils down to getting quote. Correct?
Do you notice the difference in price from quote to quote?
Normally you will have a low bid a few mid range quotes and a higher quote.
Sometimes taking the lowest electrical sign bid for a new start up business only makes sense, right?
Or is this wrong?
The main questions to ask is what does the low bid include?
After all some may quote with old school neon tubing while another more expensive quote may include LED electrical sign lighting?
Sure, old school neon tube lit will cost less but how many rows of neon are you getting? Better stated what are the LUMS the neon will emit?
Did you know, this is one the most difficult types of reverse pan channel electrical sign letters to fabricate?
The greater the LUMS (a term for brightness of light) the better your electrical sign will be seen at night.
Thus, you have one question answered. If the low bid is for neon lit and only one tube then of course its a low number.
Then again, if you go with neon, you must remember that neon tends to burn out faster then LED lighting.
This means after the first service call to fix some gassed out neon lights your quote just increased over the mid range quotes which called out LED lighting.
LED lit electrical signs normally out last neon 5 fold or longer.
Plus LED lit sign letters or electrical sign cabinets draw a lot less energy, meaning your monthly power bill will be lower.
Thus, another cost to consider. pay less now and pay more later? Or pay a little more now and pay a lot less later?
You starting to see the light (no pun intended).
Thus, when deciding on whcih is the right local Las Vegas electrical sign company to choose from one may consider the quote.
Did the Las Vegas electrical sign company present you with a quote for both options? Including reasons why each makes sense? If so your on the right path.
All in all, one good way to find out which Las Vegas electrical sign company is the right choice is to not only ask for a quote but ask for some sample pics or references.
Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
The cool thing here is these pan channel electrical sign letters were flat bed printed then router to match the logo colors and theme of this well know las Vegas business
If it were me, Larry, looking for a local sign company in Las Vegas myself would ask:
- Do you have a CNC router?
- Do you have a flat bed printer?
- What is the brand name of the LED lights?
- How many rows of neon will be in the lettering?
- How long will it take to turn the deal?
- How much will my permit cost?
- Will a bucket sign truck be sent out for install or will you use a ladder?
- How much insurance do you carry?
- Do you offer a warranty?
Sometimes knowing what type of assets the local Las Vegas sign company has helps me know what I’m able to expect.
If the sign company has a CNC router it tells me my pan channel lettering or sign cabinet will be pretty darn perfect verses being hand made.
If they have a flat bed printer it tells me they may reproduce my exact logo color and imagery on my electrical sign faces.
A bucket truck sure tells me a lot verses a company showing up with a few ladders.
Thus, as you see, choosing a local Las Vegas electrical sign company is not simply about asking for a quote.
Ask around, ask for pics and may you find a good one who may get the job done right!
In closing, we added a few random photos of some cool electrical signs Larry here has done.

Until next month, may your electrical signs and letters light up at night for all to see.
A well lit sign is a good sign.
