Graham, unless your customer insists on have an LED Open sign, stay away. A customer of mine saw one and just had to have one, I told him he was on his own, so he bought it anyway. Now the "O" doesn't work and the rest is going south also. It lasted less than a year. Now he wishes he had listened to me. As far as I know there is no fixing it, because it came from China, you know where they used to grow rice till Mr. Clinton and some other two bit politicians came on the scene. Good Luck, my friend.

I'm with you Neil. I've sold 25 or 30 of the ones of which you speak. I've had to replace one of them because the chain broke up inside the housing box. It was fixed with a new chain about 20 minutes after left. We finally developed enough nerve to take the back off and look. The customer that bought that saved $ 10 bucks and I have not seen it since.

You can get them at Sam's Club. Most people just eliminate the middle man and go there. Love...Jill

For those of you who might have attended Consac 06 in Toronto in Sept. you would have seen lots of LED goodies.One caught my eye from away up front. Made the journey & found Mike.Ordered 24 that day.Since then 152 have been sold by me.One other sign company bought 4.Em had them also.I think they wanted $159.00 for them & you add ? profit.The first 24 were sold at $119.00. My supplier had an increase from the manufacturer of $37.00. I passed that on to the new people wanting this type of sign. The second order was for 50 units. When they arrived there were 23 allready spoken for. I have received more product & they are still selling well. The order placed last Fri. was for another 50. If you have received a flyer from Canadian Signcraft you will see that they also carry them at a real good price,If they have any left. Out of all the units sold ,I also repaired one pull chain switch.These are an easy sell beside any of the static neon signs. Let there be LED.
