SpellBrite is an ultra-bright, "click-together" LED signage system that combines the striking impact of neon with the flexibility of print. SpellBrite's 43 letters, numbers, and characters allow users to effectively create any ultra-bright window sign to advertise specific products, specials, promotions, extended business hours, or any other custom message, and to change the message at will.
"SpellBrite is the most powerful onsite messaging system business owners can use to attract more customers," said Sean Callahan, CEO of iLight Technologies, parent company of Optiva Signs. "We've reached out to several SpellBrite customers over the past few months, and business owners are achieving 20%-40% increases in sales of items promoted with SpellBrite. The signs are paying for themselves in weeks and, in some cases, days. Business owners love the ability to reuse any SpellBrite characters and components to make a new ultra-bright window sign for their next promotion, keeping their storefront fresh, relevant, and targeted to their local customer base."
Among SpellBrite's unique features are that it's up to 50% less expensive than neon, but without neon's maintenance hassles. It offers all the benefits of LEDs, including long life, lower energy costs, high durability, and increased safety. Multiple dimming and animation effects allow for maximum attention-grabbing impact.
