Every city I've installed electric signs in has regulations prohibiting blinking or animated signs. Most older signs are grandfathered in, so obviously blinking signs still exist. BTW, LED message boards do not fall into that category. I'm referring to neon and bulbs.]]>May 15th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/http://jamesmsingleton.com]]>May 15th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/
How would you turn it off on a non-working day or if the place gets shut down or even bankruptcy? Throw a thick blanket over the sign?]]>May 15th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/May 15th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/anokimobis-solar-powered-electroluminescent-signs-light-up-your/

In answer to a few of your comments.

1. This product has a timer so you can specify when you want the item on or off, or alternatively you can turn the item on or off manually at the touch of a button.
2. We have enabled this signage to stay on for long periods of time, so you can specify the item not to flash if you wish.
3. Lifespan of the EL panels is approx 2500 - 3000 hours.

Thx
Anokimobi

according to their webpage 4000hrs lifespan, according to their posting here more like 2500-3000hrs. With an average 8-12hrs/day usage...

...this sign will need replacement within a year? Sounds like a very clever idea to me. LOL]]>May 15th 2009 7:19PM
