With Keystone Sign Hero, changing a sign's lighting from fluorescent to LED is easier than ever. Bypass the ballast for the fastest installation with no external driver required.
There are many reasons to upgrade signs from fluorescent to LED lighting. Primarily, LED lighting is better for the environment, and saves you money. LED lights use about 75% less energy than fluorescent, and also lasts 25 times longer. Signs with fluorescent lighting can have hotspots and dark areas.
But when it comes to replacing the lighting, it can get complicated. Fortunately, Keystones Sign Hero is here to save the day.
