0.72W 10 pack Signage Modules

These are LED signage modules – individual light units on a linked cable, made for lighting illuminated signage, letters and light boxes from the inside.

Spacing is the craft of it. Modules set too far apart show as bright spots through the face of a sign; set too close they cost more than the job needs and add heat inside a sealed box. The depth between the modules and the face panel matters as much – the further back they sit, the more the light evens out before it reaches the surface.

Because they are chained, a run is built to the length the sign needs rather than cut from a fixed reel, and one feed can supply the whole chain.

Light output and colour

It draws 0.72W.

The colour temperature is 5500K.

Colour rendering is >80 CRI, which describes how faithfully colours appear under the light. It matters most where the light falls on planting, timber, brick or stone, all of which look flat under a poor-rendering source.

The beam spread is 160.

Where it can be installed

At IP65 this fitting is rated for full outdoor exposure – rain, hosing and weather.

A weather rating is not a corrosion rating, and the two are confused constantly. The IP number describes water and dust ingress; what survives a coastal site is the material and the finish, and that is the thing to check within a few kilometres of the sea.

Powering and installing it

This is a 12V fitting, so it runs from a driver rather than directly from mains. Size the driver to the total load of every fitting on the run, with room to spare – a driver working at its limit runs hot, and heat is what shortens its life.

Low voltage is the usual choice in a garden because the cable is safer to run and easier to extend later. The trade is voltage drop: a long run gets dimmer towards its far end, and the answer is a shorter cable path or a heavier cable rather than a bigger driver.

Plan the cable route before anything is fixed. It is the part of an installation that cannot be changed afterwards without undoing the rest of it, and it is the reason otherwise finished jobs get left half done.

Rated life is >50000hrs.

Before you order

Two checks save most of the problems that show up after an installation is finished. The first is where the fitting will actually be seen from: a light chosen for how it looks in a product photograph is being judged from a viewpoint nobody will ever stand in, and the same fitting can be discreet from the house and glaring from the street.

The second is what else is going in around it. A single fitting is rarely the whole scheme, and matching colour temperature and finish across everything in a space matters more to the result than the specification of any one item in it. Mixed colour temperatures in particular read as a fault rather than as a choice.

If you are unsure whether this suits what you are lighting, our team at Lights For You will talk it through against the actual space rather than the specification sheet.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does it use?

0.72W. Add up every fitting on the run before sizing a driver or transformer.

Can it go outside?

Yes – it is rated IP65 for outdoor exposure. Within a few kilometres of the sea, check the material as well as the rating.

Does it need a transformer?

Yes. At 12V it runs from a driver, sized to the total load of the run with room to spare.

Do I need an electrician?

The mains side of the driver is licensed electrical work, so yes for that part.
