“I'm the owner of an established restaurant here in Winnipeg. I already have attractive signage that draws in business from the area so I’m not quite ready to update my current branding. Though the fluorescent lighting on my existing signs is outdated, and this creates various issues.
My outdated signage requires frequent maintenance, which can become exceedingly expensive. Another issue I have is that my fluorescent lighting is not energy efficient, nor is it environmentally friendly since I must frequently dispose of my used fluorescent lamps when I replace them. What can I do about this?”
This is a common dilemma that many kinds of businesses face. Nowadays more and more people are asking this type of question as they want to save on maintenance and electrical costs and because they want to be more responsible, overall. Though it may not seem that way, the solution to this problem is actually very simple --and no, you don’t need to replace your sign altogether. You can convert your old signs’ outdated lighting system to LED's, which isn’t as costly as you would assume. Not to mention that having a new LED lighting system is a great investment with many additional benefits. Here are a few:
They are much brighter...
New LED systems are bright, offering the appearance of a new sign without the added cost. They make existing logos and graphics more vivid and eye-catching, which attracts more attention and thus, creating more potential customers.
They use less energy...
It’s common knowledge that LED's preserve energy better than traditional fluorescent and incandescent lighting. But how much more effective is it, really? LED’s can be up to 90% more efficient to run compared to traditional lighting. Over time, this will a save you lot of money.
They will need less servicing...
LED lights can last up to 100,000 hours. Compare that to traditional fluorescent lighting which typically only lasts from 7,000 to 15,000 hours and you’ll notice a major difference. A sign service crew of two men and a truck typically costs $150 per hour, with LEDs you’ll have to pay for their expensive services significantly less often.

On May 1st in 1957, the Bridge Drive-In slid open their serving windows for the first time and created a FROZEN FRENZY in Winnipeg's Elm Park neighbourhood. In 1974, its namesake bridge (already a community landmark itself for over 60 years at that point) was closed to vehicular traffic, solidifying BDI as a scenic destination of choice for Winnipeggers to enjoy their favourite frozen treats for decades to come.
As you may already know, BDI's signature treat is the famous Goog, which is spun upside down before handing it off. This time-honoured test proves the Goog's delicious thickness, keeping the spoon straight and the taste buds thankful. And the quality doesn’t stop there! Justin and Jessica Jacob both continue to keep classic treat-making traditions alive and well throughout the menu, boasting more signature sundaes, the Creamiest Shake in Winnipeg, and 11 soft serve flavours of ice cream. But even though classic treats never go out of style, this family-owned business is always looking forward. They pulled out all the stops when they unveiled the GOOG TO GO truck in 2016, which gets around town in delicious style.
With their 60th Anniversary happening in the summer of 2017, Electra Sign was asked to update their original signage while blending some new creations in at the same time, including a custom-sculpted LED ice cream cone, and a red light strip pinpointing where to line up for a taste of tradition. Along with a refresh on the street sign, menu boards and awnings – its good to go for decades more!
Enjoy the summer and bring your friends and family down for some great tastes soon. The menu is large and the staff is ready to create some memories for you to enjoy!
