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.

What Is Traditional Neon Signage

Aging neon tubes and fluorescent bulbs replaced with LED that keeps the original look.

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

LED draws far less power than neon or fluorescent.

50,000 to 100,000 Hours

Module lifespan measured in thousands of hours longer.

Less Maintenance

Fewer service calls over the life of the sign.

Brighter, Even in Daylight

Typically brighter than neon and visible from greater distances.

Built for Colorado Winters

LED holds up where fragile glass neon tubes struggle outdoors.

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.
