LEDR-2113-OP-RB "The iCatcher"

As a restaurant owner, any and every detail should be important to you. This could range from the type of commercial dishwasher you choose to buy for your commercial kitchen to the type of floor mat you choose to lay out in the entrance way of your establishment. Your open sign, the one thing that will draw your customers in or turn them away, is no exception.

Nowadays all restaurants are looking to be more environmentally-friendly and rightfully so. Energy consumption is a growing issue and more eating establishments are turning toward products that will save them the most money in the long run. The advent of LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lights have proven to reap huge benefits for consumers by saving energy cost. The average ultra-bright LED light only consumes energy one-tenth of what a watt per light source would. This equals to a potential energy savings of 95% over other lighting methods, with a lifespan 10 times longer than that of a regular light bulb.

With that being said, more business owners (namely restaurant owners) have moved towards LED lights to light up their business with open signs and other signs to draw in customers. The drawback most restaurant owners have with LED signs are the faint, almost insignificant appearance these signs give, which is never a problem with their neon counterparts. So, the question now is how do you gain the energy benefits of an LED light while giving the lustrous glow of a neon sign?

International Patterns has the answer to this question. They have introduced the new “iCatcher” 3-D LED Open sign. This illuminated sign displays the prominent glow of a neon sign with the

energy conservation of the LED bulbs that power it. The sign's covering is made of a thick plastic tubing that proves more durable than most fragile neon signs. If a customer slams your door coming into your restaurant, then most neon signs have a tendency to shatter. The iCatcher's durable plastic makes it nearly impossible to break and can withstand the hardest of impact. This 3-D LED sign has a blinking capability, which aren't featured on any neon signs.

We all know LED lights are green-friendly. The iCatcher is guaranteed to use less than $4 dollars a year in electricity. It has an extremely low-voltage and power consumption. Best of all, there are no mercury or UV emissions for this sign. Many other notable companies like Budweiser, Disney, and Google have turned to 3-D LED signs for their company logo.
