Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for an illuminated sign in Switzerland?
Yes, illuminated signs in Switzerland generally require a building permit. The procedure varies by canton and municipality. In Canton Zug, a simple building application is required, with processing time of approximately 4-8 weeks. We handle the complete preparation of application documents including plans, visualizations and forms - and guide you through the entire process. Permit costs: approximately CHF 200-500 depending on municipality.
How much does an illuminated sign cost?
Costs depend on size, construction type and complexity: Simple LED signs start at CHF 2,000. Light boxes cost CHF 3,000-8,000. Custom aluminum 3D channel letters typically cost CHF 5,000-15,000. Large installations, pylons or special shapes can cost up to CHF 25,000+. For a binding offer, we are happy to provide a free quote: +41 41 780 05 05.
What materials and techniques are used for illuminated signs?
Modern illuminated signs consist of: Housing made of powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel (rust-free, durable), front panels made of acrylic glass or polycarbonate (impact-resistant), LED modules as light source (energy-efficient, long-lasting). For 3D letters, we use aluminum profiles with LED backlighting or illuminated acrylic glass. All components are suitable for outdoor use (IP65).
How much electricity does an LED illuminated sign consume?
LED illuminated signs are very energy efficient. A typical sign (approx. 2m wide) consumes only 50-150 watts. With 8 hours of daily operation, this equates to approximately CHF 50-150 in electricity costs per year (at 20 cents/kWh). Compared to neon tubes, you save up to 80% energy. Dimmable systems and timers reduce consumption further.
How long does an LED illuminated sign last?
Modern LED modules have a lifespan of 50,000-100,000 operating hours. With 8 hours of daily operation (approx. 3,000 hours/year), this equates to over 15-30 years. The aluminum or stainless steel housings last even longer with proper care. We offer maintenance contracts for regular cleaning and inspection to ensure your sign always functions optimally.
Can I convert my existing neon sign to LED?
Yes, in many cases converting from neon to LED is possible and economically worthwhile. The advantages: 70-80% lower power consumption, significantly less maintenance, no mercury disposal, better color consistency over lifespan. Often existing housings can be reused. We are happy to check on-site whether your existing system can be converted and create a cost-benefit analysis.
