Converting outdated neon or fluorescent bulbs to LED is something Johnson Sign Co. does regularly! It is a wonderful choice to save money, extend the life of the sign, and improve the visibility. All of these are huge wins for business owners in the Michigan area.
One big misconception is that a sign will need to be completely replaced in order for it to be able to have LED lighting. This is not true. The Johnson Sign Co. team carefully disassembles the existing sign. Then, our service team will take out the current lighting and replace it will LED.
Your sign’s exterior remains unchanged, as we preserve the original structure while upgrading the internal lighting. This approach not only modernizes your sign but also provides significant cost savings compared to purchasing a completely new one.
As a full-service commercial sign company, Johnson Sign Co. operates over 40,000 square feet of manufacturing space where we craft signs with precision and the highest quality materials. This allows us to not only complete LED retrofits but also update additional areas of your sign if you wish—whether that means refurbishing structural elements, refreshing the exterior, or modernizing finishes. With everything done in-house, we make it easy to enhance your entire sign, ensuring it’s efficient, durable, and aligned with your brand for years to come.

Like any new invention, LED lights are the enhanced and more efficient version of their predecessors – fluorescent bulbs and neon. Not only can they save you up to 80% on energy costs, but they are known to last much longer.
