LED Sign Tubes: R17d Recessed Double Contact Replacements
LED sign tubes are high-performance linear lamps engineered specifically for illuminating outdoor light boxes and channel lettering. These specialized sign light bulbs are often designed with a double sided LED tube or 360-degree light output to ensure the entire face of the sign is evenly illuminated. Replacing old fluorescent sign tubes with our durable, energy-efficient R17D LED bulb options drastically reduces maintenance costs and improves visibility.
Key Features for High-Output Sign Lighting
Sign tubes are built for extreme durability and maximum light projection necessary for commercial visibility.
- Double-Sided Output: Essential for light boxes, the double sided LED tube ensures uniform light is cast across the sign face, maximizing visibility and eliminating hot spots.
- Specialty R17d Base: The R17D LED bulb uses a recessed double contact base that provides a highly secure, reliable connection, necessary for the constant vibration and weather exposure of outdoor sign lighting.
- Extreme Durability: Constructed to withstand wide temperature swings, wind, and moisture common in outdoor signage, guaranteeing longevity.
- High Efficiency (HO): Provides high output sign lights while using minimal energy, which is critical for lights that run 24 hours a day or all night long.
Where to Install Your R17D Sign Tubes
The secure connection and high output of the sign tube are ideal for demanding external applications.
- Outdoor Light Boxes: The primary application, using the double sided LED tube to push light through the graphic face of the sign.
- Channel Letters (Deep): Used in very deep, large channel letters to ensure the interior wall is fully lit.
- Large Industrial Signage: The R17D LED bulb is used in large industrial signs and billboards that require 8ft lengths and maximum output.
- Awning and Canopy Lighting: Used to illuminate large outdoor fabric or hard awnings.
