Is it better to leave this sign on 24/7, the old neon signs were never turned off??

I have my sign outside under a deck.I believe the tubing is waterproof but it does have electric running to it. Have not had any problems with another neon sign that has been outside for over a year. Probably OK as long as no direct dousing with water

Not sure about the 24/7. Switch on mine went bad after 1 season. Shouldn't be an issue if you are keeping it on.

YOU CAN THEORETICALLY leave them on 24/7 for ten years and they will not only last but never downgrade...I could go into scientific data about it but it'd better if you go online and read because it is a very long date article...u have some very very very ofl old on my refugium that's been on all day everyday and they are as bright as the day I built then....

I have about 40 of these led exit signs and some I've had for 9 years , they should last 10 , I find that you can replace the battery in them for just a few dollars less then a whole new exit sign. And as far as replaceing the LED light strip inside the unit would cost more then a new sign

We leave ours on as needed to get things dry. No problems. We used to leave it on 24/7, but our electricity bill got so high that we now turn it off when things are dry, and turn it back on to warm towels shortly before a shower.

I haven't had the need to turn it off. I unplug it in the city due to all the speed detection signs where I live, it constantly goes off but that's just it working. I did get tagged yesterday on my way to work by a CHP officer on the side of the road with his radar gun out but he never pursued me and it lit up like the fourth of July.

No you can't just leave it on. There is no real on and off switch for that. BUT it does turn on once movement is detected. It is very sensitive. Right now, mine is set for movement up to about 50'. I don't know how long it will run with constant movement. Light is very bright. I was impressed for a solar LED light. It is excellent when used as a security light or when needing help to find your way in the dark. Only had it up for about a month so can't say much about how long it will last.

Jake, The sign is awesome. It still looks good in a well lit room. Naturally the brighter the light the more muted the colors will be but under normal lighting it looks great. It also pays to have it against a darker wall but not a requirement to enjoy it. Go for it.

I don't leave it on all of the time, but I have left it on overnight. I don't think it would hurt to leave it on. I just got worried that someone might accidentally pick up the remote and hit one of the buttons without realizing it was not a television remote.l

I don't know why anyone would want to turn them off....it warn you how far you are. Green means no problem, yellow is close, red is like 1 or 2 inches away. I use it to line up my trailer hitch and I found it extremely useful.

Previous answer indicates it can be turned off. I find it's pretty dim, and isn't a distraction for me.

You can do whichever you are comfortable with. I found, after inadvertently leaving it on all day, there is no trouble at all. So now, I just leave it with the blue light blinking (transmitting) round the clock. Whether this is good practice, I don't know. But, I have seen no hazard doing this in over a year and a half.

To be honest, the letters are a bit difficult to see with the light off. You end up keeping the light on 24/7, which doesnt cause any problems

Yes...it is on 24/7. This light does not emit ozone. The UV lights that emit ozone must go on and off with the fan so the ozone doesn't build up in the air handler.ThanksScottClean Air Solutions LLC

We keep it on all day and turn it off at night. It hasn't caused any problems.

You can leave it on forever.ine has been on for more than 6 months but you cannot turn off the LEDs.Alan
