Picking The Right Outdoor LED Marquee Sign For Your Ennis Business

In the Outdoor LED Signage industry there are 3 different designs of LED Signs manufactured:

Classic™ Pixel-cluster design,
Balanced Array™, and
SMD™ technology.

Which one is best? It depends.

We not only manufacture all 3 designs, we explain to you the differences, help you decide which is best for your specific needs, and let you see for yourself in our Showroom.

Don't buy your sign until you know you're buying the right one! Your LED sign should help your business grow, but not all LED signs (or LED sign manufacturers) are the same.

Questions not about the signs themselves, but about how the signs will be perceived, and how long they will take to pay for themselves.

Products that Improve Your Signs

Unique in the entire sign industry, Sunburst Displays™ built an 85- by 50- (over 4,000 sq ft) indoor sign lighting laboratory for testing the longevity, visibility, and effectiveness of all the lighted signs we manufacture.

Click on the "Showroom" tab on the left for more details.

We have opened our laboratory to the public, for FREE, adding an LED Video Display Showroom because we realized how important one would be to consumers.

You must determine which display type and LED spacing is best, so that your sign will be successful, considering how you will use it. Therefore, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12mm, 16mm and 19mm 4+billion-color exposed-LED Balanced Array™, exposed-LED Classic™ pixel-cluster signs, and SMD enclosed-LED Signs are always available for you to compare to monotone message centers and monochrome 4-thousand-shade display signs.

We also display a see-thru curtain-wall display sign, and a curved LED display sign.

Also on display is an economical fixed-message Full-color LED Message Center, and a fully self-contained, self-powered portable LED Sign trailer, the LED Sled™.

Don't buy a sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures, when you can actually see and compare real signs.

No one else, sign company or not, can offer you this unique opportunity. Be sure to take advantage.

"I almost made a huge mistake by not listening to you and visiting your showroom prior to buying my sign. I thought I knew what I wanted, after listening to so many salespeople...boy, was I wrong. My vision of the sign did not jibe with what it would really turn out to be, even after viewing so many drawings. It was obvious the moment I entered the showroom. If I had stuck to my guns my sign would have been a disaster. I would have wasted a lot of money."
Cecil Drake, Drake Communications

Using Our Website to Learn About Sunburst Displays™

Your sign forms that very important "first impression" your potential customer has of your business. Your sign must always look nearly as good as it looked the day it was installed so that you survive; don't give potential customers a worsening impression of your business as your sign ages.

Click on the "Technical Details" tab to the left to learn about the intricacies of an LED digital electronic message center.

Also discover how we make each sign to last; including the use of CNC manufacturing, rust-proof metal, structural-steel frames, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings. All our signs include these many hidden features, critically important to you but often ignored by competitors so they can make more money. We even add self-cleaning properties. View our Construction Details page to learn more about these features.

Sunburst Displays™ uses SolarBrite™ LEDs exclusively to manufacture Sunburst Displays™. Our LED Technology page explains why.

With an electronic message center you are leaving your computer out in the Texas rain, ice, heat and cold, and tornados and hurricane-force winds are trying to blow it away. Sunburst Displays™ are Built in Texas, for Texans, by us.™

But, it takes more than purchasing an excellent sign for your success. It must be installed properly, and someday in the far future hopefully, it will need to be serviced. This is why it will be important to you that WE manufacture, install and service your LED electronic message centers!

Please use and enjoy this website, the largest information resource about electronic message centers on the internet, in conjunction with our Corporate website www.SignsManufacturing.com, created so you can learn about all types of signs and how you can control their affect on your image.

We believe that if you're a knowledgeable purchaser there's a real good chance you'll become our customer.

"We are buying our next digital signs from you. It is too much effort and money to keep up with a low quality sign." - Myles Pennington II, Trinity Valley Community College

The Benefits of Buying Factory-Direct from Sunburst LED Signs™

You need answers to these questions before you buy (anything from anyone.) Don-t be a na-ve consumer.

Comparison of LED Signs

* A poorly installed EMC can void a factory warranty, leaving YOU to haggle responsibility with the installer and sign seller (broker.) For instance, without a separate grounding electrode being installed during the installation of most LED signs the manufacturer-s warranty is void. Will you know if your installer doesn-t install a grounding electrode? The problems the lack of a grounding electrode creates will probably begin to occur months later.

Is the sign installer working for you, or the factory, or only the sign seller (broker?) Who is legally responsible?

Who has the financial ability to remedy accidents and omissions? Single-source responsibility is best. Product liability insurance is good, too.

Guaranteed Highest Quality ... Guaranteed Lowest Price™

Why Buy Factory-Direct, and from a State-Licensed Company?

Why not buy from a Sign Dealer (also called a Sign Broker or a Sign Store?) There are literally hundreds of them.

Would you give a car dealer $10,000 and tell him to buy you the best car he can for the money, sight unseen (or from a drawing?) Don't you think you would get the car that made him the most?

Do you think you could meet your needs asking for the cheapest car he can buy?

Why would a sign dealer (sign broker or sign store) be any different? Remember, they are merely buying a sign from a manufacturer, maybe foreign, to resell to you, usually to resemble a drawing, making the most money they can.

You need to know ALL of the details on how your sign will be manufactured, and how it will be installed. It needs to meet YOUR needs, not the seller's profit goals. What is he telling the manufacturer you don't need so he can make more money?

Believing "...a sign is a sign" gets you a Yugo instead of a Cadillac. Remember the Yugo? They didn't last very long, either.

Also, most sign dealers, sign brokers and sign stores cannot legally install or service an electric sign. Ask to see their license.

Guarantee Ask to see a manufacturer's license also. A few are not licensed to do electrical work, either, they also have to hire other companies to install the signs they make.

Now, who provides the warranty? The manufacturer, the installer, the salesman, anyone? If the sign was installed illegally do you think they'll honor their warranty? Did they REALLY obtain your City sign permit? Is the sign even safe?

As a large, UL listed manufacturer, our name is on all our signs. Just like you, we can't afford to have a bad sign destroy our reputation. We have to care, particularly with our LIFETIME* warranty.

If you wonder if a sign-seller can legally install and service electrical signs through-out Texas go to THIS LINK, enter "Electricians" in the "Inquire by License Type" box and the name of the sign business or person in the "Inquire by Name" box. If they are not licensed they can not.

So someone can sell you signs and not be licensed to install or service them. You may have to have this done. But unless the electrical signs you buy are "listed" (U.L. usually) they won't be allowed to be installed in Texas, a State of Texas Consumer Protection Safety Law designed to insure that signs are safe to use, with a few local city ordinance exceptions. It is not illegal to sell them to you, however. Buy carefully.

"I had a ****-a-**** (sign company) right across the street - that store's out of business now - I found out they hired some other company to build and install our sign and they did a really #@%&&$ job, the thing has never lit right. ****-a-**** Corporate won't do anything, they say the closed store was an independent franchise, and the sign builder/installer won't fix it, they say we weren't their customer. I need you to come out, tell me what it will cost to get the thing working properly and get it fixed." - Chris Jennings, Jimmy Johns

Why are -Listed" Signs Critical to You?

Virtually ALL cities, as well as the State of Texas, adopt the National Electric Code as law.

The National Electric Code (NEC) requires that for electrical, structural, and installation safety all electrical signs be "Listed" (tested and labelled with an appropriate Listing Mark.)

Certification (testing and labelling) organizations acceptable in the USA to test to the multitude of Standards signs are required to meet are determined by OSHA.

For you the Listing Mark is insurance. It means that the sign has been tested to insure that it is structurally and electrically safe, and will be installed properly. You benefit from the knowledge that it is not solely us telling you that our signs are safe, this is what the testing laboratories and the US Government says also.

Will your sign be tested and approved for safe use in a Wet (Outdoor) location? Not if it-s not Listed!

Underwriters Laboratories (-UL- Listing Mark) and Intertek (-ETL- Listing Mark - originally Edison Testing Laboratory founded by Thomas Edison) are the premier certification organizations and 80% of all things electrical are tested by them.

If the sign you are purchasing does not have a ETL or UL Listing Mark label the sign is probably not legal to install, anywhere in Texas. There are a few local city ordinance exceptions.

Buy carefully.

UL Listed Signs ETL Listed LED Signs Intertek is over twice the size of UL, and has a greater global presence. UL is the largest in the USA. We have both companies test and apply Listing Marks to various signs.

Whether it's channel letters, a wall cabinet sign, a monument sign, pole or pylon signs, electronic message centers , video displays, neon or other electric signs Intertek and Underwriter-s Laboratory pose the toughest design, structural, electrical, and installation standards on the products they approve.

We are the 9th oldest UL Listed Manufacturer in North Texas. (File #UXYT.E149959)

To see if a manufacturer is a UL Listed electronic sign manufacturer go to THIS LINK and enter "UYFS" in the "UL Category Code" box, replacing "%ccn%".

To see if a manufacturer is an ETL Listed sign manufacturer go to THIS LINK and enter "UL-48" in the search box.

We are the third oldest ETL Listed sign company in Texas. ( File #4007685) (One of the two older companies makes lighted scoreboards, the other makes lighted office door signs.)

There are many sign companies that pretend to be Listed, but are not!

Incidentally, ISO (International Organization of Standardization) Standards, such as ISO 9001, are NOT electrical Listings (similar to a UL or ETL Listing) that allow a sign to be installed in Texas. That said, components in our electronic signs also meet ISO 9001 and 2008 standards.

Underwriter-s Laboratory and Intertek do NOT judge the appearance, appeal, or the longevity of a product. This is why our many years of experience serving international, national, regional and local customers, and our investment so that we can apply the knowledge we-ve gained, will give you a superior product which will impress your customers for years to come.
