Client | Darren (introduced by Ron) |
Project | Custom letter signage for YETI PUFF retail store |
Location | Canada |
Product | Custom 50mm Pixel Globe Lights |
Application | Outdoor illuminated channel letters |
Outcome | Complete signage system delivered and installed |
How the Project Started
Ron introduced us to Darren, who needed a custom signage solution for the YETI PUFF retail store in Canada.
The project required a distinctive, high-visibility illuminated sign that could:
Withstand outdoor weather conditions
Deliver bright, even illumination across the letterforms
Create a distinctive visual identity for the brand
Darren had a clear vision — and we were ready to bring it to life.
The Challenge
Custom letter signage requires a lighting solution that fits seamlessly into the letterforms while providing bright, even illumination. The client's design called for:
Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
Housing Type | Globe-shaped lamp cage design |
LED Type | Full-color RGB with programmable effects |
Outdoor Durability | IP68 waterproof, weather-resistant |
Brightness | High output for daytime visibility and nighttime impact |
Control | SPI addressable pixel control |
The complexity of this project — from design coordination to installation — made it a true multi-stage case study.
Our Solution: Custom 50mm Pixel Globe Light
After reviewing the design sketches and discussing the vision, we proposed our 50mm Pixel Globe Light (XXA-5012B) — a versatile, high-performance solution that matched every requirement.
