SpellBrite is an award-winning, patented  light-emitting diode (LED) signage system that looks like neon but uses LEDs as its light source. With the click-together SpellBrite letters, numbers and symbols a user is able to create any custom message they want. Since the characters are interchangeable, the user can change the sign any time to any message. The combination of its LED light source, iLight Technologies’ proprietary diffusion technology and changeable characters, enables SpellBrite to uniquely have both the striking, bright impact of neon and the flexibility of print.

This changeability of the letters, numbers and symbols allows owners of restaurants, conveniences, retailers and other businesses and stores to create unique, targeted signs featuring products and services offered, specials, phone numbers, lunch combos, seasonal promotions, websites, extended business hours or any other custom messages.

History
Neon signs have been used for over 100 years because the bright light of neon is very effective at attracting attention and drawing in customers. But as a high voltage glass products, neon signs bring maintenance hassles, aesthetic challenges, high costs, and safety hazards.

Having already developed a patented, LED-based, neon replacement product for the commercial architectural lighting industry, Plexineon, the team at iLight Technologies (www.iLight-Tech.com) set out to invent a signage product that has the striking bright impact of neon, but uses LEDs and therefore has the benefits of LEDs – long life, durable, low energy usage, etc. This effort culminated in the development and production of the SpellBrite LED Signage System.

SpellBrite has received various accolades: named Best New Product at the ISA International Sign Expo which is organized by the International Sign Association, selected as Retailer Top Pick at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) trade show  which is run by the Association for Convenience Stores & Fuel Retailing, and was one of ten companies out of 562 to win at the Chicago Innovation Awards.

Several patents have been issued to iLight for SpellBrite and several more are pending.
