Walk down any street, and you’ll notice two kinds of signboards — the classic printed boards and the glowing, attention-grabbing LED displays. Both are popular, both serve a purpose, but the big question is:
Which one is right for YOUR brand?
Whether launching a new store, rebranding the café, or planning to advertise an event, what kind of signage you opt for can make or break how customers view your business. Let's separate the pros and cons of LED signboards vs. the conventional signboards, so you can take the confident decision.
What's the Difference?
Conventional Signboards typically consist of:
- Flex printing
- Acrylic or vinyl boards
- Painted hoardings
- Static glow signs (with tube light behind)
- LED Signboards, however, employ:
- Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display text/logos
- May be static or dynamic (scrolling messages, video screens)
- Are available in forms such as acrylic LED letters, LED modules, digital screens, etc.
Visibility & Attractiveness
LED Signboards:
- Extremely visible — day and night
- Vibrant, bright, and contemporary
- Catches the eye immediately, even from afar
- Performs well in crowded or low-visibility places
Traditional Signboards:
- Performed well during daylight
- Less noticeable at night without proper lighting
- Can be camouflaged, particularly in densely populated areas
LED Signboards:
- Higher upfront investment
- Saves energy in the long run
- Needs professional installation and periodic maintenance
Maintenance & Lifespan
LED Signboards:
- Low maintenance if built with quality materials
- Long lifespan (up to 50,000 hours or more)
- Resistant to weather changes
Branding Impact & First Impressions
LED Signboards:
- Creates a modern, tech-innovative image
- Ideal for retail, fashion, electronics, restaurants, etc.
- Remains in the customer's memory for longer due to movement & brightness
Traditional Signboards:
- Can also appear premium with great design and print
- Ideal for conventional businesses, real estate, neighborhood shops
