Signshop:
With the channel letter market saturated with low-cost modules, LED manufacturers are looking towards new applications to grow sales.
While visiting a wholesale sign shop about two years ago, I saw a four-by-twelve-foot, single-sided sign cabinet illuminated by someone sticking literally hundreds (432 to be exact) of channel letter LEDs onto the back of the sign.

Using LEDs as backlighting is nothing new, but the field has been growing. The advatages to LEDs are that they last, are bright, can color change, and use almost no power. The problem is the cost, but I feel like nowadays they are so cheap that the energy savings would offset the cost difference in a matter of a few years. I've also seen a lot of new buildings in which the lighting is almost solely LEDs, which saves power and reduces the fluorescent-tube headache people get. I hope LEDs become even more prevalent in architecture and buildings.
