What does LED stand for?

Light Emitting Diodes.

 

What’s so great about LEDs? 
LEDs can be used to build energy-efficient lighting products that save energy, help protect the environment, reduce maintenance costs and make people and things look much more attractive than traditional lighting. And they can last much longer than traditional lighting.

 

Just how energy-efficient are LED lights?

LED lighting can save up to 85 percent of the electricity used by incandescent bulbs and up to 50 percent of electricity used by fluorescents. When comparing LED lighting to fluorescent lights, energy savings depend on the type of fluorescent light. For example, LED lighting can save up to 50 percent of the energy used by CFLs and between 20 to 30 percent of the energy used by fluorescent tube lighting.

 

Where are LED lights being used?

Since LED lights are so energy-efficient, the most common applications are places where lights are switched on for an extended period of time. You can find LED lights in restaurants, offices, parking lots, streetlights, dorm rooms, ice skating rinks and, of course, in homes.

 

Can LED lighting really save energy and money?

Take a look at the statistics. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that widespread adoption of LED lighting by 2025 will:

  • Reduce electricity demands from lighting by 62 percent.
  • Eliminate 258 million metric tons of carbon emissions.
  • Reduce the amount of materials being put into landfills.
  • Avoid the building of 133 new power plants.
  • Save the US over $280 billion.


Why is LED lighting better than incandescent bulbs?

Most of the energy emitted from incandescent bulbs is converted to heat instead of light. That’s why you’ll burn yourself if you try to touch an incandescent bulb once it’s turned on. LED lighting is about 85 percent more efficient than incandescent bulbs. Since LEDs consume significant less energy, they don’t emit as much heat. That’s why you typically won’t burn yourself if you try to touch an LED light once it’s turned on. LED lights are also designed to last about 50 times longer, which means less ladder-climbing maintenance and less waste.

 

Why is LED lighting better than fluorescent lighting and CFLs?

LEDs don’t contain hazardous materials, such as mercury. Since fluorescent tubes and CFLs contain mercury, they must be properly disposed of in order to prevent mercury from poisoning landfills. Here are some tips from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on how to dispose of fluorescent lights. Also, most fluorescent lights cannot be dimmed and many can flicker. Some people are sensitive to this flicker and experience headaches, migraines and eye strain. LED lighting uses solid-state technology, which allows effective dimming in many applications and eliminates flickering. Fluorescent lights can also take several minutes to achieve full brightness and even longer in cold environments. LED lights are also instant-on and can withstand extremely cold conditions. Additionally, high quality LEDs produce better light that shows color more effectively than fluorescents. 

 

What type of light quality can I expect with LED lights?

You should be satisfied with the light quality coming from any light—LED or otherwise. The best way to ensure this is to know what color light you want and how to ask for it. If you want warm light, look for lighting that is close to 2700K. If you want a more neutral light, look for something closer to 3500K and if you want a cooler light, look for 5000K or more. But that’s not all… You also need to be aware of color rendering. The ability to make colors look true – that is to have a tomato look like a tomato – is called color rendering. The color rendering index (CRI) characterizes light sources in view of their ability to produce “natural light” and can be between 0 and 100. The closer an LED light comes to 100 on the color rendering index (CRI), the more naturally colors are rendered, and the light is perceived as more pleasant. The CRI of fluorescent tubes is often around 72. Cree LED lighting fixtures have a CRI of between 92 and 94.

 

How long can LED lights last?

With the right design, LED lights can have a lifetime of 50,000 hours and more in continuous operation. Depending on how many hours-a-day they are operating, that can be from 6 to 7 years to as many as 20 to 30. Unlike other lighting technologies LEDs do not completely fail—they grow dimmer. At the 50,000 hour mark, enlogik’s LED lights are designed to provide at least 70 percent of their initial light output. Many different factors determine the actual lifetime of an LED.

 

Aren’t LED lights too expensive?

A main challenge with LED lighting is that it costs more upfront, but really, it’s no different than requiring insulation in homes and buildings. It can pay for itself over time with energy savings and lower maintenance costs. Keep this in mind when you initially invest in LED lights. Besides, how do you define expensive? Is it purely the up-front cost of a light or do you factor in the cost of the energy to run that light and, if you’re a business or government, the cost to change the lightbulb? If you’re building a new building, installing LED lighting is often just about the same cost as traditional technology—and you’ll start saving money, through reduced energy consumption, the minute you flip the switch.

General-

A fully automatic, solar powered, lighting device for illuminating real estate signs shortly after the sun sets and through the night.

Many people work late, leave their homes early in the morning and much of their off-time is in the evening.  In addition, during the fall, winter and early spring seasons, some parts of the country are dark by 4:30 pm. As far as we are concerned, extremely valuable curbside marketing time is lost by real estate signs that cannot be seen at night.

Here in Miami, the afternoon commute home starts at around 3:30 pm and peaks between 5:30 and 6:30 pm. The morning commute starts at around 5:00 am. This is an extremely valuable segment of the home buying market and they frequently drive past your listing and your brand without noticing it. We created the Real Estate Sign Light to change all that.

Everybody!!! Most people work a "9 to 5" and are forced to preview homes late in the afternoon or early evening. Moreover, a consumer who is on the hunt for their next home will scour a neighborhood well into the night searching for that perfect house.

Yes!!! While the average consumer driving past your listing may not be shopping for a home, but the fact that they glance at your illuminated sign and consciously or unconsciously read and absorb your name, company name and image, contributes to your brand awareness and value. Another factor you should consider… YOU are reading this and that means you are one of the first to be exposed to the Real Estate Sign Light. You will undoubtedly be one of the first in the country to use illuminated signs before it quickly becomes an industry standard.

Absolutely and we guarantee it! But the biggest benefit is the impact to you professionally. Imagine that beautiful street in your market where several top producers have active listings and your sign is the only one that stands out like a beacon in the night. Lighting up your sign with the Real Estate Sign Light makes the old adage- "Standing out in a crowd" an understatement!

First, we designed it from the ground up for the specific application of lighting up 2 sided real estate signs. We had dozens of designs including a fully lighted post. However, we did not want to upset the traditional "Real Estate Sign" ethos. We ultimately decided that we wanted to come up with a solution that could easily integrate into the existing inventory of millions of signs and the posts that display them. So, our first unit is what we consider to be the "Universal Model" which will fit virtually any signpost up to the most widely used material of a 4" X 4" pressure treated lumber. 

The Real Estate Sign light is designed to cast a soft discreet light across the whole sign. We have included 3 brightness modes to accommodate different size signs and different colored signs. In general darker signs absorb more light and may require a brighter setting.

The STANDARD was designed for  signs up to 24" and the PLUS was designed for large signs in the 36" range.

We have taken great care to limit the overall brightness of our lights as to comply with city ordinances, Department of Transportation and most home owners associations around the country. Our lights do not strobe, flash or change colors which has allowed universal acceptance.

You don't! It is powered by the sun. It charges it's onboard battery pack during the day and runs off of that stored energy during the night... EVERY NIGHT!

Yes! In fact, it is the most important consideration when installing your Real Estate Sign Light. It is of paramount importance that you install your post away from any trees or cover. If you use a post installation service advise them that you are using the Real Estate Sign Light and to please install your post away from any obstructions.

The only thing that really matters is that it really needs to function. Day in, day out the enlogik Real Estate Sign Light has to work reliably. To date, our competitors and the consumer solar market is filled with all kinds of small lights and devices that simply do not work or are not bright enough. We set out to design a commercial quality 100% solar product that would illuminate a 24" X 24" sign in various lighting conditions and illuminate that sign until sunrise without any loss in power or brightness. It had to achieve this goal every day, consistently with little or no degradation in performance. Because we have a significant amount of experience building commercial solar street lighting solutions, this tall order was right up our alley.

A single solid unit that fits a wide variety of post sizes which contains our solar/battery/led secret sauce that delivers on our goal of- "It just works"!

Our Mission Statement says it all.

Design and build a solar lighting device that-

• Fits any signpost

• Easy to install

• Easy to operate

• Is fully automatic with dusk to dawn operation

• has a timer option for municipalities that require a "lights out" after 10 pm

• Illuminates a real estate sign evenly with soft bright light

• Stays on all night without fail

• Works day in/ day out

• Works through rain and snow*

• Is backed up by a great warranty

• Is supported by great customer service

Any solar device is dependent on the sun in order to generate power. As we all know, it rains and snows and sometimes it's just cloudy for a couple of days. Under these conditions, it may become impossible for the Real Estate Sign Light to generate power. We built a 3-day reserve power into our units in order to overcome these conditions. That being said, it is absolutely nessasary for the solar panel to be clear of any obstruction for proper operation. So, for all you guys in the North, you will have to keep that panel clear of snow during the winter months.

We use a specific Lithium-ion battery chemistry that provides that extended reserve power. In fact, our battery is of premium quality and designed to be charged and discharged without failure.

Yes, no problem. Center it on top of the post and screw in the supplied security screws.

Yep... and your 1", 1.5", 2", 2.5", 3" and 3.5" wood, PVC or metal post.

Yes, of course, it fits a 4" X 4" pressure treated lumber. However, you need to know that any 4" X 4" labeled lumber in North America is actually 3.5" X 3.5". Our design will accommodate this material even with several coats of paint applied.

We recommend you attach your rider under your main sign but do offer the RESL-Rider Kit which allows you to mount your rider on the top arm of your signpost and clear the height of the device. You will have to take additional care when choosing your sign installation position to optimize exposure to direct sunlight. 

Absolutely, our new single sided sign light is perfect for illuminating large billboard style signs. We recommned you use 1 unit for every 3-4 feet of sign.

Yes, it takes 60 seconds! Simply remove the Real Estate Sign Light from its shipping container, align to the center of the post and secure with the included security screws. We do recommend you read the instruction manual thoroughly to ensure a successful install.

We include security screws which require a special tool to install and remove. Also, one of our design goals was to design an application specific device. The added benefit of this strategy was that it would render the unit unusable for most any other purpose. While true that it is a solar light, and that in itself is very usable, its odd shape and dependency on a post for mounting make it awkward for home use. 

Real Estate Sign Light comes partially charged from the factory. After you install it on the post, use the included pin tool to insert it into pinhole next to the sun icon on the underside of the unit to activate the Dusk to Dawn mode. Gently depress the tool to select low (default), medium or high LED brightness and that's it. Set it and forget it!

Insert pin tool into the pinhole with the clock icon. Gently depress the tool to select this option and the light will turn off 5 hours after dusk.

Absolutely! Simply remove your unit form the post and move it to the next. You should easily enjoy several years of use and re-use.

Yes, while our battery is rated to last for several years there are many factors like extreme temperatures that can contribute to the overall longevity of the battery. The enlogik battery pack is user replaceable and is sold on our website.

Very! Every component selected and every manufacturing process implemented is designed for long-term reliable operation. In addition, we run all our products through a rigorous quality control routine. For the past 7 years, we have been successful by making sure that every product that leaves the factory is thoroughly tested. We believe that It's cheaper to deliver a superior product then the cost of a return or an upset customer.

The enclosure is made from a premium ABS plastic formulation with UV additives so that the material does not warp, become brittle or change color in direct sunlight.

Yes... is fully water resistant. The Real Estate Sign Light is certified IP64 which makes it a completely watertight and impervious to moisture and dust.

Bright white... and since you are asking I know you want the specific color- 5500k

Well, we truly don't believe we have any real competitors. Sure you can scour the internet and even your hardware store and find all kinds of solar lighting products but we are yet to find one from a reputable source that actually delivers on illuminating your sign adequately or reliably.

Remember, the Real Estate Sign Light was designed from the ground up to light up real estate signs. It is a commercial grade device designed for professional agents around the world who do not have the time nor would risk their brand and reputation with cheap imported products or improvised garden light rigs that ultimately do not work.

Well, its a tough well made product that was developed for real estate agents! We spent a lot of time money and effort to develop, design and manufacture an exceptional product that really delivers and impacts your business. We have also worked tirelessly to deliver that product at a reasonable cost.

Yes, we know real estate agents and appreciate your time. You guys intimately know marketing and we know that we better deliver on our claims. More importantly, lighting up your sign better bring you more eyeballs. Buying and using the Real Estate Sign Light will set you apart from your competitors and greatly contribute to your brand and to getting more listings.
