Title: LED sign for Levi Strauss & Co
Post by: NORDIC454 on January 09, 2012, 04:46:14 PM

I picked up this job a few weeks ago which is going to be huge for my portfolio. It is a vintage style sign, with a modern twist, using 5mm LED's instead of the original style filament bulbs. The sign is being made for the Levi Strauss & Co distribution center in Henderson, NV. It measures at       9.25' x 4', I should have the welding done tomorrow, and the LED's installed and wired up by Wed. afternoon.

Its been clear coated. Levi's is going to an idustrial style look, so this sign being raw, with all of the welds, fits right in
