Led Signs in Cape Town

Electric Blue designs and manufactures high-end LED solutions for the Signage, Architectural and Shopfitting Industries.  We provide turnkey solutions in accelerated schedules.

Electric Blue is a highly innovative LED lighting company, providing turnkey lighting solutions.We focus on contemporary linear lighting solutions, constantly developing our range of LEDs& aluminium profiles, in line with the latest European technology & lighting trends. We specialise in optimising electrical efficiency in the lighting industry, by using LED technology.We are acutely aware of manufacturing & selling a product that will outlast expectations:There is a focus on extending the LEDs’ reliability & lifespan in harsh environments. A sample for a project can be provided upon request. We do offer and manufacture custom light features and fittings, to client specifications. Of course there is an experienced sales person who can assist you but to simplify matters we have created this LED LAB section to explain some of the basic concepts of lighting and how to light with Linear LED. The type of lighting effect you are wanting to achieve is going to answer these questions for you. Using high output LED in bulkheads is also becoming popular as the primary lighting in upmarket residential. Also for task lighting under counters, in cabinetry and in shop fitting when the light source must be hidden. Combined with a high intensity LED this is suitable for primary lighting and has higher output, better efficiency and better light quality than fluorescent and halogen down lighters. Warm white is used for domestic applications where the colours in the house are warm and rich like reds and browns. Natural white is very popular and used in commercial applications like shopping malls and shop fitting and in contemporary housing design where the lighting enhances the architecture. Cool white is used in crisp, clean enviroment where very clear lighting is needed. And also used in outdoor and signage applications as it works best with the waterproofing resin. LED technology has advanced noticeably in the last few years and so has the brightness. Linear LED is no longer just suitable for task and effect lighting but can be used as primary lighting too. The lower output LEDs are used for signage, task lighting and effect lighting. The middle of the range is mostly used for bulkhead (indirect) lighting and the top of the range is used for primary lighting and shop fitting. One way to do it is to give the measurement of the space the LED is going into and we will make it to the closest size. Otherwise the easy way to measure up for LED is using the standard lengths table (link). Once you have chosen what LED you are using, measure the space where it is going. Then go to the standard lengths for that type of LED. LED cannot be cut just anywhere, it works in sections and can only be cut between these sections. But that is why you need to know what type of LED you are using when you measure up. Don’t make it too close to the wall because you will get a hotspot of light against the wall. The electrical energy the Linear LED uses is measured in Watts per meter. So we use this measurement of Watts p/m for that type of LED ( summary table ) to determine the power supply needed. The voltage of the LED must match the output voltage of the power supply. Try avoid getting the polarity wrong as some types of LEDs can be damaged by reverse polarity. We can now blend lighting seamlessly with architecture. It can be slightly more technically challenging than choosing a regular light fitting but the possibilities of what can be done and the results speak for themselves. And it is also energy efficient and maintenance free.
