LED Sign Retrofits in Denver, CO
LED has changed the illuminated-sign game. Retrofitting neon tubes and fluorescent bulbs to LED enhances performance while cutting energy and maintenance costs. An LED retrofit means you do not start over with a new sign, you simply convert your existing one to modern LED lighting.

What We Retrofit
If a sign is worth keeping, we can usually modernize its lighting rather than rebuild it.
Cabinet Signs
Channel Letters
Monument Sign Cabinets
Old Neon & Fluorescent
Retrofit or Build New?
A retrofit upgrades the sign you already own. If the sign itself has run its course, we build the replacement.
Lighting on a New Build
Channel letters, cabinets, neon and LED neon, and illuminated monuments built from scratch. See our Illuminated Signs
Keep It Running Year-Round
We can fold the retrofit into routine service, from LED replacement to electrical repair. See Sign Maintenance and Repair
Why a Retrofit Pays Off
Cost-efficiency is the biggest draw, and the savings add up over the life of the sign.
Lower Energy Use
50,000 to 100,000 Hours
Less Maintenance
Brighter, Even in Daylight
Built for Colorado Winters
Keep the Look, Upgrade the Light
Neon has a unique aesthetic you do not want to lose, and modern LED lets you keep it. LEDs recreate bright, saturated color, and they are typically brighter than neon and visible from greater distances, including in daylight. They are also tougher: fragile glass neon tubes struggle outdoors, while LED holds up through Colorado winters.
Handled In-House
Our own UL-certified team performs the retrofit and reinstalls, so the upgrade is code-compliant and clean, and we can fold it into routine sign maintenance and repair. We retrofit signs across outdoor and indoor applications alike.
