Ventex Technology - neon vs led




		You can have BOTH eye-catching brightness & energy savings-up to 50% over LED- with Ventex neon

		Reduce energy costs 50% or more by converting PBKM self-contained channel letters to Ventex neon. Specify Ventex neon.

		See real energy saving calculations on real-world signs.

Comparison of Ventex 30 mA and Major Mfg LED


Results:	Average Light Intensity	Power Usage
Ventex Powered Neon 30mA	5357 Lux	16 watts
Major Mfg Gen 1 LED	2011 Lux	34 watts
Major Mfg Gen 2 LED	1658 Lux	17 watts


Findings:	The Ventex Neon 30 mA power supply when compared to a Major Mfg Gen 1 LED generated over two and a half times the light output at half the energy cost. The Ventex Neon 30 mA power supply when compared to a Major Mfg Gen 2 LED generated over three times the light output at similar energy costs.


Reference Data :	Average Light Intensity	Power Usage
Traditional Electromagnetic 4030	5357 Lux	35 watts
Ventex Powered Neon 60mA	10814 Lux	33 watts

Test Protocol:

This test compares the light output between the Ventex 4030-120 neon power supply, Major Mfg Gen 1 LED (CL4-HP) andMajor Mfg Gen 2 LED (with EGL C71 glass). All tests were conducted under the same conditions utilizing the same equipment and darkened room. The test box consisted of two adjoining 10" x 18" x 5" boxes overlaid with a single white plastic face. The neon box contained 3 strokes of 15 mm glass at 3 1/2" on center spacing. The LED box contained 8 Major Mfg Gen 1 LED or Major Mfg Gen 2 LED for a total of 16 individual LEDs configured in an approximate 3 1/2" grid pattern. Individual light measurements were taken at the face surface in a repeatable grid pattern. Reference standards were gathered under the same test conditions.
