How can I build a lighted sign?
We need to buld a 4'x8' two-sided lighted outdoor sign at our church. Does anyone have any experience in designing and building something like that?
Do you want it to light from inside or be lit from outside?
If from inside, I recommend building a 4' x8' x 1' frame with the 1' edges closed. I'd put any lettering on translucent white 4' x8' sheets and cover the lettered sheets with 4' x 8' clear sheets. You can add topical material with static cling vinyl to the outside and the labor-intensive lettering is protected from graffiti.
Check product specifications for the sheets. Make sure they're suitable for outdoor all-weather use. You don't want anything that will splinter in cold weather or melt in 100+ summers.
You can have the lighting itself professionally wired.
