If you were asked if this overhead parking garage directional sign is reverse lit what would be your answer?
Go ahead, take a good look at the photo here and see if you may answer the question correctly
What do you think?
Reverse lit or not?
Well, if you answered “it’s not actually a reverse lit overhead parking garage sign” then you are correct!
What?
How is that possible?
After all, some of you may still squelch, yea right, how is this not a reverse illuminated sign?
After-all it sure looks like the sign is reverse back lit, right?
Yet it is not.
This illusion of illumination is due to advances which are being made in modern day sign making
Want to know how?
Well, this overhead parking garage sign was simply manufactured by using a rigid .125 thick over-sized aluminum sheet substrate
Then this overhead directional sign was CNC routed from the aluminum sheet to size and then powder coated to spec
The powder coating finish color thus secures a near permanent finish which in turn creates a long useful life for this parking garage sign
A sign which requires little to no maintenance over time
Which is ideal for a parking garage GC and or developer who is looking to minimize current and future cost
Then after the powder coating is complete –high-intensity reflective vinyl cut lettering is then applied to the finished face
This high-intensity reflective vinyl thus creates the illusion of illumination
And when these directional signs are installed it’s really difficult to tell whether they are reverse lit or reverse non-lit
After all the high-intensity reflective vinyl is designed to amplify reflected light which creates the look of illumination
Now, if you’re a GC or developer, think of the money you will save by choosing reflective vinyl lettering signs verses actual LED back lit signage
If you think about it, the cost of fabricated internally illuminated overhead signs would exceed the cost of typical high intensity vinyl signs by 10 fold
Say what?
Imagine going with internally lit overhead signs
Imagine the cost of running a junction box to each location with power to site
Imagine the added cost of maintenance over time with servicing electrical upkeep and outages
Verses
Simply set and forget types of powder coated aluminum parking garage signs which are designed to last for over 10 years, if not longer
The key difference between reverse lit and reflective film is the intensity of the reflective hi-tac vinyl which is applied to the sign face
You want to make sure you have high-intensity reflective vinyl lettering
Because normal reflective vinyl films will not appear as bright nor will they be as easy to read
After all who doesn’t know that easy to read directional signage is ideal when traffic is pouring in and out of a garage structure
