Go Green, Save Green

Retrofitting your current sign with LED lighting is one of the smartest moves you can make for your business. Not only does it reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, but it also aligns your brand with sustainable, eco-conscious practices that customers increasingly value.

At Grand River Signs, we’ve helped many West Michigan businesses modernize their signage through affordable, energy-efficient LED retrofits. Here's what you need to know.

What Is an LED Retrofit?

An LED retrofit involves replacing outdated lighting systems (like fluorescent or neon) in an existing sign with energy-efficient LED modules. You keep the sign structure, but upgrade the lighting.

Why LED Retrofits Make Sense

1. Lower Energy Bills

LEDs use up to 80% less energy than traditional bulbs, which means long-term savings that directly impact your bottom line.

2. Reduced Maintenance Costs

LED lights have a much longer lifespan (up to 100,000 hours). That means fewer service calls, less downtime, and less hassle for you.

3. Better Brightness and Visibility

LEDs produce a consistent, clear light that enhances the look of your sign—day or night, rain or shine.

4. Eco-Friendly Choice

LEDs contain no harmful chemicals, generate less heat, and reduce your carbon footprint. It’s a win for your business and the planet.

5. Preserve Your Investment

You don’t need to scrap your existing signage. Retrofits breathe new life into signs that still have structural integrity and brand value.

Signs That Are Ideal for Retrofits:

• Monument Signs

• Pole or Pylon Signs

• Channel Letters

• Cabinet Signs

• Interior Backlit Signs

Is It Time to Retrofit?

If your sign is:

• Dim or unevenly lit

• Driving up your electric bill

• Constantly needing repairs

• Built well but looks outdated

...then it may be the perfect time for a retrofit.
